Baby items

[Beckybug]

I wasn't sure where to put this so if its it the wrong area mods, please move it! :)

DH and I are going to start TTC this month and I have started buying some baby items such as singlets, a few grow suits, blankets and a second hand bassinet off a friend.

A few people think I am strange, but we are both only casual employees and our work will cease at the end of August, so we will be dependant on the dole for probably 5-6 months, and not able to afford much.

Am I doing the right thing buy getting some stuff now? :confused: I don't want to get to 6+ months pregnant and be panicking because we don't have anything. (Both DH's children were both concived first attempt with different mothers)

Phew, glad to know its not just me that plans ahead. Was starting to think I'm weird!

Nup your not alone!

I have just purchased a change table (just have to go collect it)... I am getting a car seat (need it due to my sister coming with my nephew from interstate) figured I may as well buy one.. We have a pram (that was left at the house we are renting but its basically brand new nothing wrong with it)...

I have bags of baby clothes that were given to us... I have bought little singlets etc... Damn I have even bought cloth nappies recently!!

I don't see a problem in it at all.. The only worry I have is what if we never conceive? lol

Good luck on your TTC journey :hugs:

Thanks dreamtobeamummy!

Hope your TTC journey ends in a sticky baby! If the worst should happen, you could always sell it, or give it to friends.

Hi Beckybug and everyone,
I agree...there's nothing wrong with that. The sooner the better...although some people think it's going to 'jinx' your TTC or pregnancy but it's all up to you. I bought a few baby clothes for my cousin cos she's now almost 7 months pregnant and bought a few for myself though DH doesn't know about it:D. We've been TTC for a few years now...who knows it might bring something...luck maybe hehehe....
Well, have a good weekend...

Beckybug what I learnt from TTC and having two DS's is that nothing is right and nothing is wrong just follow your gut instinct and enjoy the ride.

Goodluck

I have brought mini chuck taylor high tops, they are blue (if we have girls I guess I'll give them away) they were to cute and match a pair that DH has. I've also brought a cute little tee and some singlets and socks.

I have also brought issues of Cosmo Pregnancy :o yes it's true but it makes me happy hehe!

Wow, what a statement!

It feels right for me, so now I can stop justifying to anyone that questions me thanks so much! :hugs:
