When did you start buying for the baby?

I know everyone is going to disagree with me telling you this, but look and don't buy. Having lost two babies, I know what it's like to have to put things away or even get rid of them. I hate to sound depressing, but it's alot easier to cope with if you don't have a lot of stuff to deal with. I have known people who've had to pack up a nursery.

It's great to be excited! It really is and it's so much fun to shop and plan, but it is horrible having to come home from the hospital empty handed and see the things you've bought. it's a tiny but easier if the things aren't there.

If you do give in, try to limit yourself. Alot of times the things on the clearance rack are seasonal and then you end up having wasted money because they don't fit the baby at the right time.

I hope you never have to experience some of the things that I have, but trust me when I say that waiting is a better choice. (And No, I don't believe in old wives tales or luck.... just good common sense)

Sorry if I rained on your parade,
