I also have a few kids books and some things I plan on using for nursery decor. My mom is a preschool teacher and is saving quite a few books and some toys as well for my future kids. </p> <p>I don't consider myself to be superstitious, and it doesn't bother me to have baby stuff in the house, even though we're not even TTC quite yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1493922 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:06:37 +0000 Mrs tartan 1493922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I'm surprised how many people have purchased things. I almost 12 weeks pregnant and have nothing! One book which the doctor gave me and that's it. When I get my first scan in 2 weeks I think I'll start then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1493838 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 09:35:03 +0000 Snowdrop 1493838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am far to superstitious to actually buy anything but I know exactly which CDs I will be buying and pram, infect I even know which 1 I'd get if we were having twins haha.</p> <p>Last time I went round to my Mum's I saw some knitting she was doing and she said she's glad I like it as it's a blanket for her future grandchild. My mum knows we are struggling so it made me happy to know she had faith that it would happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1492660 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:02:50 +0000 Raindrop 1492660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not do this but I think it's cute to do it... Yeah I don't know why I don't but I think I will go with other PPers have said... superstitious probably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1492610 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:49:20 +0000 mfa_lady 1492610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't bring myself to. As embarrassing as it is, I'm too superstitious to buy baby clothes yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1492602 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:45:51 +0000 deactivated_account 1492602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a baby name book that I bought while in Palm Spring during a TWW ohhhhhh...... about 9 months ago. Thought I would be pregnant. womp womp... not yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1492593 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:44:04 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1492593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's some of the pants I bought... </p> [attach=3657/14/n2echh.202x270.e850bfdc30d800243720321d03865b76.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1492583 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:40:20 +0000 Anya 1492583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I've bought all kinds of clothes/books/supplies and I haven't conceived yet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1492577 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:38:19 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1492577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've bought a few organics from Baby Gap. Glad I did because they aren't selling the ones I like anymore. They're gray and cream colored, so perfect for either gender. I'm just so excited, even thought TTC has been so hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1492574 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:37:17 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1492574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@debbiei8: Did she have the right gender for the clothes? Ha. That's so funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1491856 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:06:45 +0000 Bluemasonjar 1491856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have thought about buying a onesie for when the time comes so I can use it to tell DH but I am a little anxious about jinxing myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1491200 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:23:15 +0000 HellOnHeels 1491200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a personalized onesie from etsy. Plan was to use it to tell DH, but I'll probably use it to announce to everyone as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1491105 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:01:15 +0000 bhbee 1491105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really tried to avoid it, I am definitely superstitious. I did buy a couple onesies I intended to help us let people know the news - I purchased them when I got my first BFP (chemical) so then I hid them away until my success months later. And then I only let myself buy 1 thing after our 12 wk scan and nothing until our 18 wk scan because I was afraid of things going south.</p> <p>Right now I have a Big Sister tshirt for LO buried so far in my drawer I honestly forgot about it until I saw this. I'm hoping she's still in that size when we get there . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490829 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:54:58 +0000 snowjewelz 1490829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just haven't, YET! When I see really good deals on nursery stuff I'm so tempted to buy them :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490773 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:39:43 +0000 however briefly 1490773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are only 10 weeks along today and I have had a full gender neutral wardrobe up to 12 months, a huge cloth diaper stash, plus tons of baby gear for almost two years now. Actually, since we found out about the baby, I haven't bought one thing and I actually think even if we didn't by anything more before the baby comes, we'd still be perfectly alright with what we already have.</p> <p>I just like to take advantage of great sales! And I have been able to buy everything at such discounted prices that the few bits and bobs I've decided to sell for whatever reason, I've actually made a profit on while still giving the buyer a good deal, so I wasn't worried if they baby never ended up happening because I honestly believe I could have made bank reselling :) (I recently sold my kate spade stevie bag that was being discontinued. I bought it for $100ish and then decided I really didn't like the color of no matter how much I loved the bag. I ended up selling it for $300!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490712 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:24:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 1490712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't own any clothing. I have a daddy-to-be book and nursery type CD to give DH when it's time. But no actual purchases of clothing or "equipment." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490710 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:24:02 +0000 theotherstark 1490710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a onesie to give to my husband when I get pregnant. I have had to hold off a few times on buying things - I really, really want to, but I don't want to jinx myself. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490709 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:23:49 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1490709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, you're not the only one! I have a growing (albeit slowly) pile of future baby stuff including books, toys, and a few pieces of clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490689 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:17:38 +0000 swurlygurl 1490689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an ebay problem for awhile... When I was 19 (and not even married) I had a whole 6 mo - 24 month wardrobe for my future daughter!<br /> Thankfully, I ended up having a daughter... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490655 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 07:53:29 +0000 babycanuck 1490655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only bought a onesie to surprise Hubs when we get a positive. I'm pretty superstitious about buying stuff before getting KU. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490626 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 07:18:00 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1490626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did!!

I never got pregnant and now we're adopting. Oooops! I'll save it for family or friends who may like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490575 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 05:53:05 +0000 swedishfish 1490575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Bazinga onesie to give to DH when I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490574 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 05:45:13 +0000 travelingnanny 1490574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same thing! I have 3-5 pieces that I snagged at my favorite thrift store. They were just so cute that I had to buy them! I know I'll use them with my future foster kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-3#post-1490528 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 00:43:03 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1490528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've bought (gender-neutral) baby clothes and I'm not even pregnant yet.
