The bigger size was nice for big batches of baby food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-361673 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:05:58 +0000 mrs. bird 361673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I def think I'll put a food processor! Do you have one you like? I think cuisinart was getting rid of bpa in their bowls, I'll have to look into that! What size do you think? </p> <p>@aprk: We saw a vitamix thing at Costco once, it was awesome! We have a kitchen aid one one that I love though. But when it dies, I'll be looking at a vitamix :)</p> <p>@photojane: @Thehistoryofus: We don't have an iPad, I do have an iPhone though. I might hold off on that only because we try really hard to limit our Internet/screen time &lt;as I post from my I phone... I did say TRY, lol, I don't often succeed!&gt; good idea though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-361601 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:33:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 361601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice large tote bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-361566 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:23:48 +0000 photojane 361566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>an ipad would be nice. it would come in hand when your lo comes too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-361559 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:21:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 361559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>iPad already? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-361438 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:45:11 +0000 aprk 361438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a Vitamix blender? That's definitely on our list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-361433 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:43:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 361433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food processor and deep freezer. </p> <p>Photo storage online backups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-361307 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:09:14 +0000 mrs. bird 361307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: haha, my parents are seriously amazing! I love them to death! Not just for their gifts, but they're are amazing people :) last year they gave us a blanket they had made with a wedding picture of us &amp; a snow globe with us that had a recording of part if my dad's father of the bride speech. </p> <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: I'd loooove an elliptical!! We don't have a ton of space, but maybe one of the ones that folds to store when needed. But most of those have a low weight limit &amp; DH is kind of a beast (I mean that in the most loving wife kinda way, lol, he's not at all fat, just super jacked &amp; heavy!). I'll look into that though! Great suggestion :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360774 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:54:13 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 360774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a fun game! Do you have space for workout equipment like a treadmill? It was way easier to work out during pregnancy when I had an elliptical machine in my own house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360768 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:52:41 +0000 LazyLightning 360768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: yes!!

Does she want to buy me a Christmas present, then? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360763 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:51:46 +0000 mrs. bird 360763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kpow: i always see lots of tory burch ones at the outlet mall, but i've never tried any on! probably because i wouldn't spend that much on myself =) but as a gift... do you have some? have they held up well? how do they run size wise? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360753 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:49:53 +0000 mrs. bird 360753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: i like your practical suggestion! and while i just replaced the battery last month, your suggestion made me think of one =) a remote car starter! we live in new england, so it gets COLD! good thinkin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360746 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:48:26 +0000 mrs. bird 360746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: they are really sweet &amp; as an anniversary gift they paid for the disney world (DH has never been) excursion on the surprise cruise i booked the end of next month =) so we will have just gone on a 8 night vacation. a 'just the two of us' trip was on my baby bucket list! great minds think alike =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360745 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:48:21 +0000 LazyLightning 360745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>along the lines of good tires, if you live in a cold climate how about a new battery for your car? They wear out every 5 years or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360725 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:42:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 360725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would they give you money for a vacation or something like that? That's one thing I would like to do pre baby.<br /> I already asked DH for a nice DSLR camera for Christmas. Even if I'm not pregnant yet, I want to learn how to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360709 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:37:23 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 360709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like @artbee's idea for a freezer...I am dying for one but we're going to be moving so many times in the next couple years that we're holding off. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360697 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:35:13 +0000 mrs. bird 360697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i wish!! we rent, so we don't have anywhere to put one now =( i shouldn't complain too much though, we have an enormous LG fridge that holds a ton. great suggestion though!</p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: i think i may just put a glider recliner on there! you don't think that's weird of me? lol, oh well =D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360691 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:34:07 +0000 DillonLion 360691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Don't think it is weird! You could always put a recliner on there that doesn't necessarily scream 'BABY' but you know you could use it for that when the time comes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360690 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:33:43 +0000 wahine08 360690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second @artbee with the freezer, if you have space. Also, for ballet flats- Tory Burch's are the cutest :)</p> <p>I love my food processor so much. It's a hybrid processor/blender! It's cuisinart if you're curious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360687 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:32:52 +0000 mrs. bird 360687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @Baby Boy Mom: @kml636: good thought on the camera!! we just got a new digital camera (panasonic lumix zs20 i think), not a DSLR though. the rest of my family has ridiculous professional cameras, so i think we'll probably end up with one of their hand me downs eventually &amp; they take far better pics than i could anyway =) good idea though!</p> <p>@highwire: we rent, so we're set with appliances. would it be super weird to ask to a glider/rocker/recliner?? hahaha. i may just put one on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360682 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:31:03 +0000 heffalump 360682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A big freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360673 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:29:38 +0000 2PeasinaPod 360673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A DSLR camera is definitely something to add!</p> <p>And make sure you have a super comfy rocker...it's been our lifesaver now that we have our little guy, but it also doubles as a great piece of furniture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360646 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:24:41 +0000 DillonLion 360646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any furniture or appliances that need an upgrade? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360643 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:24:22 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 360643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say the same- a nice DSLR and that way you have time to learn how to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360642 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:24:16 +0000 kml636 360642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: That was my thought too, a DSL camera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360632 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:21:40 +0000 lawbee11 360632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a nice camera?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-pregnancy-shopping-bucket-list#post-360624 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:19:51 +0000 mrs. bird 360624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom asked me to start my christmas wishlist &amp; send it to her soon, so i'm trying to come up with things that we should have prior to getting pregnant/having a LO. that way, when time comes, we can focus on baby related expenses. christmas is still pretty generous in my world, like macbook pro kinda generous ;) so think quality, long term kind of items.</p> <p>things like: a video camera (check!), good tires (check!), comfy slippers, awesome kitchen shears/knives (check!), classic ballet flats (could use nicer ones, suggestions?), night lights, diamond studs (check!), matching luggage (check! i might have gone overboard on matching luggage last year... like 6 suitcases worth...), a food processor. help me out! what should we have pre baby that isn't exactly baby related, but could be useful once we have one or that you think we won't want to bother buying later. i'm avoiding a lot of clothing because we're TTC and i've gone up a couple of sizes but hope not to stay here at this weight long. basically, tell me what i should want pre-pregnancy/baby in my life =) </p>
