havent bought one baby item yet??
My Mom, MIL, and I went nuts at the beginning but i haven't bought anything in weeks. I have been garage selling i got a crib (sooo nice the one I wanted for 60 instead of 399), a changing station (matching), and some nuetral clothes. I have been buying diaper everytime I go to the gocery you can never have to many of those. I buy in the larger sizes b/c MIL, mom, and all my family have been buying diapers, too. I have got some cute I love mommy bibs and Daddy ones. I am sure I will get tons at my baby shower. We are saving now for a rocker/glider and dresser. But we have some time so don't worry;)

Ok, take a breath. You're only 12 weeks. You probably have at least 25 weeks to buy stuff. You will do this and it will be fine!!! I promise. And if the baby gets here, there are only a few things you absolutely must have (diapers, wipes, carseat, bassinet, a few outfits) to get you through the first few days. You've done this twice before, no worries!
Havent been buying anything YET. Since I have a son, who is almost 5. I had gotten rid of ALL the baby stuff a very long time ago (got divorced when he was 3 mo. anad didnt think I would have any more kids). So now I am waiting till I find out if its a boy or girl because I wanna get really girlie stuff if its a girl. So im waiting... about 2 more weeks. yeah! Then... WATCH OUT... hehe

I always wait until I know the gender. When we adopted our son, we bought stuff gender neutral and when we found out he was a boy, I didn't want ANY of the yellow and green stuff. I wanted BLUE! LOL!
I'm also super cautious since I've had 2 losses before and have to have resurrance that they are real...next week is my BIG ultrasound and after that, I'll go crazy! However, I did get a swing, bouncy chair and some sleepers at a garage sale and consignment shop.

I agree with the other posters that you have plenty of time. Other than our crib (purchased new), changing table (used hand-me-down), various brands of bottles (gifts) and travel system (gift), we really didn't have much when our LO came 2 weeks earlier than my scheduled c-section. The day before he came, when I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid, we scrambled and bought the playpen/bassinet combo, diapers and wipes.
Because he was in the NICU and my milk never came in (I still tried to nurse for a full month), we were given quite a few of the 2 oz. bottles of formula at the hospital. So, we didn't have to buy any for almost 2 weeks.
99% of his clothing are hand-me-downs so I've only purchased a few things.
