It's safe for me to start buying things now isnt it??

Someone at work is selling a really cheap pram - such a bargain - I really dont want to miss it......it's not too soon is it??

I'm due in August and we plan to get everything in July! Mainly because we can't afford to before then and Mark gets a big bonus at the end of June, although I don't know how I'm going wait til then! Although my sister will be so excited when she finds out I reckon she'll take me shopping and spend a fortune!!!!

I made myself a promise not to get anything for the baby until after the first trimester...it is also part of my culture....a big "no no" from the elders in my community. It is very tempting though when you see these cute little baby outfits. Only a week and 2 days to go before my trimester is over...then I will go nuts!! Lol!

I rushed a little bit and brought a travel system really early on, it was second hand and really cheap and at the time it was the one I wanted.

Thing is I took it for a real test run with my little nephew and realised it was to big and bulky for me and my car lol

Plus once I found out I was having a boy, I kinda realised it was a tad on thre girlie side, even though it is unisex colours etc..

In the end I listed it on ebay and sold it.

However saying that, no one could have told me not to buy it at the time and I made a bit of money on it by selling it on ebay, so worked out alright !!

So if you end up changing your mind you could just sell it on!!
