I don't need to add one more thing to my baby wish list! I'm just hoping to be able to make enough milk to actually feed this baby this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-stuff-for-a-3rd-baby#post-671233 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:05:47 +0000 Ginger333 671233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@farmwifegina I bought a Medela FreeStyle. I had the Pump In Style, it's really not a whole lot different. I do like that it has a battery option and you can program it to suit you ... I can totally sell you on it if you want me to ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-stuff-for-a-3rd-baby#post-671148 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:37:07 +0000 FarmWifeGina 671148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, I want a new diaper bag too, lol. I think I could justify a new stroller, since we live on a gravel road and current Graco is such a royal pain on gravel that I only ever use it a few times a year when I go to the mall. So I think that's a pretty good excuse for a jogging stroller, lol.<br /> @Ginger333: What breast pump did you get? I still have a Medela Pump In Style that I got for cheap with my first baby and I assume is still fine, never mind that I've never been able to actually pump more than a few mil. at a time with it, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-stuff-for-a-3rd-baby#post-670453 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:38:26 +0000 Ginger333 670453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my third I got a new breast pump (because I'm seriously addicted to them - so weird) and DH got me a diaper bag. Oh, and I bought a new stroller too, because I had donated the old one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-stuff-for-a-3rd-baby#post-670352 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:08:36 +0000 autumnlove 670352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Rock n Play and will buy a double stroller soon! I want to buy a crib for Baby 2 but she will sleep in the PNP just like LO did for the first few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-stuff-for-a-3rd-baby#post-670343 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:05:01 +0000 FarmWifeGina 670343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I'm so vain...but dammit, I want some new pretty and shiny stuff for this 3rd baby! Granted, everything I have from the first two babies is perfectly good and useable yet. Even if it is was old handmedowns and garage sale finds when our first baby was born 4 years ago, the $5 crib works perfectly fine, the clunky old stroller is fine, the pack'n'play is fine, etc., etc. I guess I've seen so many other people go out and have the excitement of buying nice new baby stuff, or at least NICE stuff, I wanna do it too! I know, so lame. We were POOR when Deere Boy was born, still poor when Tractor Girl came, and we're doing a *little* better now, but it's still not practical to get anything new. Waaaaaah. So now I'm just having a whiny fit. I like new things. I like shiny things that come in a brand new box. If I can't have that, I wouldn't mind some nice "new" stuff from Once Upon A Child or something. But seriously, so impractical. Especially when you consider that we'll need to pay our midwife and home birth expenses out of pocket, we need to pay off the car we have now so we can upgrade to something a little bigger, the birth pool needs to be bought, etc., etc. OH YEAH, and I want new floors in my living room and a bit of a bathroom remodel before Cricket comes. Lol, yeah, I don't ask for much... Honestly, I just need to focus on just how BLESSED we are to be gestating a 3rd time, unplanned as it is, and get my mind off the STUFF. So, yeah....</p> <p>What baby stuff, if anything, did you buy new for babies following your first one? </p>
