We picked a gender neutral color, and couldn't pass up the price (there was a sale running at the time).</p> <p>The remainder of the nursery was worked on slowly. The biggest (and hardest) part was cleaning out room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-161109 Thu, 17 May 2012 08:55:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 161109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought our furniture around 17 weeks, it was on mondo sale so we broke down and bought it (and I LOVE IT!) Otherwise we haven't purchased many clothes yet, I bought a little girl's outfit after our scan just so there was something gender specific in her closet. I plan on getting bedding and paint this weekend so we can start on the nursery! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-161048 Thu, 17 May 2012 07:43:52 +0000 purrpletulips 161048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 32 weeks, I wanted to wait until after my showers to buy anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-161047 Thu, 17 May 2012 07:42:47 +0000 bushelandapeck 161047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28 weeks and we still haven't really started. We're being gifted a crib, rocker, and changing table by some friends so once we get those, I will have a better sense for what we need. I have bought all of our cloth diapers and a few outfits but that's it so far. I imagine I will do most of the shopping after our shower at 33 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-161000 Thu, 17 May 2012 05:13:11 +0000 Zizz77 161000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 32 weeks in 2 days and all we have is a car seat and pack n play.<br /> I think part of it is superstition and part of it is that we're not big planners!<br /> This weekend we'll start. But like others have said one of the first things is to clear out the room that is supposed to be the baby's room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160948 Wed, 16 May 2012 23:40:22 +0000 ALittleP 160948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're just starting now - I'm 27 weeks. I would have started earlier but we are just now moving into our new house... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160942 Wed, 16 May 2012 23:32:09 +0000 cyneswith 160942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got a stroller/car seat before I was pregnant, but it was on sale. Found some winter clothes on sale (finding out in late March about a December baby - pretty safe on the clothing front until autumn.) Planning on buying nursery set at 14-17 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160895 Wed, 16 May 2012 21:20:36 +0000 petuniasandpearls 160895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first goal is to stop piling more and more junk/random stuff in the baby's room....I think I should stop that now (at 12.5 weeks) :)</p> <p>I'm hoping to have the room cleaned out by the time we find out the gender (at 19 weeks) and will then probably start buying things. I JUST started looking at furniture this week to get some ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160824 Wed, 16 May 2012 19:45:26 +0000 pastemoo 160824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: between 28 and 30 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160753 Wed, 16 May 2012 18:38:29 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 160753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 19/20 weeks. Although I'm nearly 30 weeks now, and the nursery is nowhere near done. We still have yet to really start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160726 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:54:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 160726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just like @prettylizy: when we found a good deal, we jumped on it. We started our cloth diaper stash after the first trimester, and after we found out he was a boy, we started looking seriously at stuff. The last 6 weeks were the big weeks of prep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160717 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:47:01 +0000 hilsy85 160717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh doesn't want to buy anything until at least 24 weeks, aka, viability, just in case anything were to happen and baby were to come earlier than expected. That's fine with me--I figure it'll take me the next two months to figure out what we want to get! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160533 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:52:13 +0000 Rubies 160533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember when exactly but it was much much later in my pregnancy...30ish weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160526 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:49:25 +0000 Goldilocks1107 160526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked a few items up used when I found a good deal (glider rocker, dresser). But didn't get any more "big" items until around 25 weeks or so. And then the spending spree really kicked off after my showers at 34 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160516 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:43:20 +0000 MamaMoose 160516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a BOB stroller before I was even pregnant because we got it from one of my husband's cousins. Other than that we haven't bought a thing. We will probably wait until close to the last minute because we know a lot of things will be gifted to us and handed down to us so we're not sure what we need to buy for ourselves yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160507 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:38:23 +0000 joyjoy 160507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a couple onesies after we found out the gender at 20w. Last week DH came home with a glider and ottoman, and I just now pulled the trigger on a crib because it was a good deal (I'm 24w now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160504 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:37:32 +0000 Mrsbells 160504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After the anatomy scan around 22 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160478 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:22:57 +0000 plantains 160478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't buy anything for ages. We waited until our shower when I was 32 weeks and got a lot of stuff then. People got us buig things like crib, carseat etc. After that, I waited until I got my Amazon registry completion code to order the rest. I ordered it all yesterday. I'm 36 weeks tomorrow. So yeah. I waited quite a while :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160451 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:03:52 +0000 chopsuey 160451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until after our anatomy scan. Actually, come to think of it, the only thing we bought was a babygap pink bunny onesie for LO and her car seat. Everything else was gifted to us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160448 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:00:12 +0000 banana 160448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought our furniture later, like around 24 weeks? We were looking for a house at that time so I didn't want to buy furniture and then have to move it to the new house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160437 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:52:44 +0000 heffalump 160437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom bought LO's dresser the day we found out she was a girl, so 20 weeks. But most things I waited because 1. I wanted to wait for my shower to see what people bought for me and 2. We moved when I was 8 months pregnant so I didn't want to just move more stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160435 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:51:51 +0000 mrskc 160435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 weeks now and haven't bought one thing. We are just barely starting on the painting and then we'll get the furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160403 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:41:13 +0000 sorrycharlie 160403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the ILs bought our crib when I was 9 weeks (..yeah) but aside from that, I've been buying as things go on sale. All we are putting in the nursery is a glider/rocker - we already had a bureau/changer that's in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160398 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:38:34 +0000 prettylizy 160398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found an amazing deal on used furniture when I was 8ish weeks so we jumped on it then. Whenever I saw a good deal I picked something up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160395 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:35:44 +0000 DillonLion 160395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't bought any furniture/gear yet, but that's only because there are a bunch of people that are giving stuff to us that they don't need anymore. And I'm not totally sure what everything is. I think we are getting a big load of things this weekend, so once I go through that, we'll have a better idea of what we will need.</p> <p>After that, we will probably wait and see what we get at the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160391 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:32:00 +0000 HabesBabe 160391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got most of our gear at my shower (31w), but we did buy a dresser off of CL for $20 when I was around 28w, and I've been buying cloth diapers whenever I see a sale... which isn't often, so we only have about 8 CDs so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160384 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:29:22 +0000 mediagirl 160384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm...I think it was after we found out she was a she. Around 20 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-buying-baby-gearfurnitureetc#post-160379 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:27:47 +0000 mrsjyw 160379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13w3d here~</p> <p>The only things I've bought are my cloth diaper stashes and a onesie set for DH's father's day present.</p> <p>I'd like to start cleaning out the room that will be baby's nursery and start furnishing it... </p> <p>When did you start buying baby gear/furniture? </p>
