I'm Currently Feeling:  | I bought a few little things after my first scan... like neutrel baby grows etc!!
Then after my 2nd scan I went mad... GIRL GIRL AND PINK PINK!!! 
I chose my nursery really early on and it was neutrel so I started buying things like changing mat baby bath etc before I found out it was a girl!!!
i advise getting things little and often due to the expense!!! |

| We waited till after the 20 week scan, although family members bought us teddies and things after the 12 week one. We have been saving every month though so that we have money put aside for the big things we'll need. x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My OH wouldnt let me properly buy stuff till after our NT scan at 13 wks. We had bought a pram when I was about 8 weeks but that was only because we bought it from a friend. After the scan we got started and we have pretty much everything now. Just the decorating to do which is booked in for while we are on holiday.

I'm Currently Feeling: | We bought a couple of things starting from 8 weeks or so, but just little things like a top and a grobag. Starting buying a lots more after the 12 weeks scan (still mostly clothing) and then the past two weeks I've kind of gone crazy - now have a buggy, carrycot, cot, breastpump, steriliser, bottles, cuddly toys, sheets and even nappies! At this rate it'll all be sorted in another week! |

| I started buying things around 15weeks! But got alot more once we knew the sex, so much easier to buy stuff when you know boy or girl! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've started to buy a few things in the last couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm having a boy, but I don't have confirmation, so most people think I'm a bit crazy buying boy stuff already but I've seen some things that are just so gorge that I couldn't resist (tiny little baby Vans, for one.. squee!) |
