posted 21st Jan '08
Ohhh God.. I have been buying so much baby stuff since the very minute I discovered I was pregnant. Now im being told off by everyone.. He! He! I havent even had my baby shower yet so all my friends are worried they wont know what to buy me because I have everything.. Does anybody else suffer from BABY SHOPPING DISEASE..?? LOL

Yeah kinda, but i have learned to control it. I don't want to waste money and believe me...they will not wear everything you buy!

I bought tons of stuff for my first too! I think it's especially because she was a girl. I couldn't go to the store for freaking chips without coming home with something for the baby. I just asked people for diapers and stuff for my shower. I also got a lot of bath toys and baby bath which you can never have too much of. I also think a little girl can never have too many clothes so I was happy to receive a few extra outfits at my shower.

I don't have the issue with buying anything and everything I see... I would like to but I don't have the money to as I'm unemployed.
However, my mom has gone freaking crazy and I've had to get on her case a few times about what she can and cannot buy until the shower is here. She listened at first but now she's not listening anymore.
Its not that I don't want her to buy things or that I don't apprecaite it...but I want people to have things to buy for the shower and also I want my boyfriend's parents to be able to buy things as well.
Since they're unsure of what she's purchased though we've not gotten anything from them for the baby yet. Other than one outfit which was for Christmas.

I never bought anything untill after my baby shower. When I needed to buy the baby something I went to babies r us and bought a gift card. That way if I did not get everything I needed I had the money to buy what I needed which was good because I had to spend $400 on things I did not get plus I bought the crib.

I got the crib before I was pregnant!!
BUT, I've not paid full price for anything. Literally.
I advocate craigslist.org and the kid's consignment sales that only happen once or twice a year b/c I got great outfits for 50cents - $2!!
