I should just say what I have! I haven't gotten much. Everyone say to wait till after the shower. However I do have -

Crib w/mattress
Carseat
Some sleepers
breastpump (i got an awesome Medela pump )

I still have allot of shopping to do!

We don't have baby showers here in the uk, i wish we did though! I've been getting little bit s at a time and i just went upstair to get a book and thought i'd have a little look at what i ahd and i was like 'woah, i need to tone down on the shopping' and wondered what you guys have got so far. I seem to have loads but i haven't spent alot proberly £150 at the most so i don't quite get how i have so much

All i need is my carseat.. the rest is all wants
i want a bassinet (she already has her crib and dresser)
and i want a glider chair..
hmm no baby showers.. That sucks!! mine is coming up on may 12th and i cant wait to see what i get.. lol

Dang, you're having your shower early! Mine is .june 2nd.

just like musikmaker, i'm waiting until after the baby shower to see what we have left to get. but so far we have a crib, highchair, diaper genie, some clothes, diapers... i think that's it. we still need carseats, a stroller, a dresser, a glider, etc.

I have a baby shower on April 15th at my moms and my boss is having one for me on the 27th. I have not bought much of anything so far. I too am waiting until after the shower. So far I have bought the crib.. or I should say my boss bought that for us. We got a Pantry unit (storage unit) to put all of the babies clothes and diapers etc. We thought that it would make much more sense to have that than a dresser right now. So much more room in it. And I have a few onsies purchased. Thats it so far. Once I have my showers, and my 3D ultrasound to find out what we are having I can shop shop shop!!!!!

I really wish i coul dhave a baby shower But i can'r exactly throw myself one and plus all my friends are busy revising for exams and my family are busy with their own lives to organise me one. Gah my back hurts today i dunno if it's my boobs, my bump or both

damn, thats a lot of stuff

(i figured i put the stuff i have to i can look at it all and see if i need anything else and give other people ideas of stuff they might want to get, i know thats helped me a lot, other lists lol)

~alicia~

seriously $260 for all the bedroom furniture! that's amazing!
And thanks. I do find all the lists helpful as well

lol yep im completly serious, i got it at kmart, i guess they were getting rid of that specific model so it was super cheap, its not bad either, its a light wood, not sure eactly what kind though

everyone kept telling me to wait till after my shower but i just couldnt, that was too great of a deal to pass

i just cant wait till they go out of buisness, they just built a new walmart literally 10 feet away from kmart, so its gonna happen soon lol

~alicia~

no you definately got a great deal , I wouldnt have waited either!

Hehe we're getting a wal-mart super centre or whatever just down the road, ok it's quite a ways down the road, but with the way I've been eating the walk will be good for me!

Screw mall rats.
I'm gonna be a Wal-Mart Rat

Where do you live? We used to have K-Marts all over but I haven't seen a K-Mart in forever!
hmm same as biway, I guess Wal-mart's just taking over because it's popping up everywhere!

heh yeah, walmart is gonna take over teh world soon i swear it

i live in norfolk virginia

kmart is slowly going out of buisness everywhere i think, theyve already declared bankruptcy, and sear (i think) bought them out, they just cant compete with walmart, and it doesnt help that where ever a kmart is walmart has to go up too

and im sure your not eating that much, but walking is good for you, itll keep you in shape so you can lose the baby weight easier afterwards

whats biway?

~alicia~

Biway was kind of like a mini Kmart. We had one just down the street years ago, I thinkt he same thing happened, it just got run out of business I haven't seen one in forever. It was good tho, great prices.

Yea I like walking anyways, but I tend to push myself a little much, I have to walk uphill to get anywhere around here and as soon as I get to the top of this damn hill I'm dying!
We had a couple days of beautiful weather though and I spent the whole time walkign it was nice... I think it'll be a lot easier to be out and about when it's not freezing/raining/snowing.
