Hi every one,

just letting you know...... my sister is pregnant yes !!!! She's almost 2 months along i think and i am super excited but i have something to ask of ya'll.
Since Christmas is coming up i was thinking instead of buying things for her (i mean ive bought things for her already lol) but instead, buying things for the baby, but since it's to early to tell what it is what should i get Confused ?? i haven't the faintest idea of what to get, she's 18, i am 17
any suggestions would help!!!

Thanks!!!

Diapers. Trust me. She'll be going thru so many diapers it isn't even funny. Baby socks. T-shirts. Really, the list is endless. Find something cute (unisex) and buy it.

you can always buy size 1 diapers if thats the case in which she has a large baby and if she does not then she can use them after the newborn dippers have been outgrown. I have bought myself some yellow,green,white outfits because i wont find out what im having until next week, buy some things of that color pallet. pacifiers,blankets, they always need blankets and lots of onesies

If they aren't the right size, she can take them back and exchange as long as they are unopened.

Ok, size 1 diapers go from 8lbs - 14 lbs. Trust me, newborn babies go through a diaper about ever 2 hours. She isn't going to have 'too many'.

Don't get newborn diapers. Simple.

Hmmm...I agree with the diapers, onsies, etc.

Although, the wive's tale is not to buy anything until quickening. Bad luck to give baby gifts before then.

The reason why they are called OLD wive's tales is because OLD wive's tell them. Altari, you are not an OLD wife are you? Wink Hehe.

That "old wives tale" still holds true in my opinion. There's no rush, anyway. Waiting 3 months to buy stuff wouldn't hurt.

you CAN tell at 16 weeks but iots extremely unlikely she would find out then
they tried to tell me at 16 weeks and they couldnt
she will most likely find out at about 20 weeks- 29 weeks
although it could be later
its up to her doctor

yeah..a lot depends on how the baby is laying.. my mom didn't find out with me until about 6-8 weeks before she had me because i was always laying to where they couldn't tell....the only reason i found out so late is because that's when I first went to the doctor...
