We probably won't actually buy anything for a couple more months. We've also started to look around to get ideas for our registry. I'm getting tons of stuff from my BFF since her 9month old will be her last baby. So we won't buy anything other than the big ticket items until after my showers and my BFF is done sending stuff my way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying#post-168214 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:16:30 +0000 matador84 168214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want to buy a lot of stuff considering we are almost done paying hospital bills from January when I was in the ER. I started with a crib and bedding and that is all I have purchased...waiting on everything else--and trying not to check the registry, I love surprises! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying#post-168209 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:14:19 +0000 heffalump 168209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My shower was at 33 weeks, and I didn't buy anything but some furniture (that's a lie, my mom bought it for me) until after the shower. I wanted to see what I'd get first. Plus, I moved at 8 months so I didn't want to buy a bunch of stuff and just have to move it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying#post-168206 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:12:11 +0000 matador84 168206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The girls at work threw me a small diaper/wipe shower on Wednesday and I am probably set for a while on those. When did you start buying stuff? I have been trying to hold back and have done a really good job, but I get worried I will wait too long! My hometown friends/fam are throwing me a shower second week in June, a work shower last week in June, and then a family shower hosted by my MIL sometime in July. </p> <p>I know I am so blessed, but I am paranoid I won't have the items I need. I'm due in August. Did anyone have the same situation and when did you start buying and what did you start with? </p>
