Pregnancy-poll poll When should I start to buy things for my baby girl? I am 19 weeks now and still feel like it is too soon. I know that some women are already working on the baby room! I just don`t know what to do.

i`m gonna be a single mommy-so i started w/ diapers not too long after i found out i was pregnant...but as for clothes-i started when i found out what i was having....and furniture was around 5mths.

Here`s how I made my decision... If you feel like it now, then go right ahead. There`s no difference in waiting or going now. At least if you do it now, you`ll have something to do until the baby arrives. Also, if you start now you have plenty of time to get everything by the time the baby comes. I started shopping as soon as I found out what I was having. Good luck!

I went to target right after the appointment that I found out that I was having a boy and bought him his I love mommy, I love Daddy and I love my big sister bibs! Just had to buy him something! Makes it just really seem so real!

I`m 34 weeks and haven`t bought hardly anything : / But I would say start buying now while you can so you won`t have to rush and buy everything in one month like me!

I`m 32 weeks, and I havn`t baught anything at all. My shower is after the holidays and I`m waiting to see what I get. As far as being tired, I don`t know how I`ll feel a month from now, but I have way more energy now then in my first trimester. Plus, I know I don`t need to get everything he will need for the next year. I just need the basics to sustain him for the first few months, and I know we won`t go without.

See i`m 24 weeks prego and i`m happy i waited. my family is coming for xmas and if i were you i would put off buying stuff until after the bay shower cause if its your first like mine you no he or she shall be spoiled and you never no who will send you what and i dont want to buy somthing then get it as a gift so i would say wait on the big stuff but just to get ride of the itch by little things like diapers or bibs. thats what i have done

Anytime is fine...just be sure on the gender...LOL! =) We got a clear clear view of my daughter...so we started buying when we found out...but I still had this fear that she`d come out a boy...haha..he`d been wearing and living in alot of pink! lol

im going to be 19 weeks next week and am finding out what i am having. we are going to start our registry right after we find out the gender. I think any time is a fine time to start buying for your baby.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
