Questions & Answers

We decided on what we wanted and researched the brands. We then waited for each item to come up on sale. So we knew long ago what car seat we wanted but waited like 6 weeks until it was on a good sale to buy it. Four months is safe to start buying but no need to rush.
I found spending my time picking the best items and searching weekly for sales kept me busy and prevented me from buying just for the fun of it. It also has saved us a lot of money. Personally I would hold off another 2 months before buying clothes. We are now 26 weeks and just started looking at clothes. I think the temptation to buy "cute stuff" over rides buying the right stuff a lot of the time!
Remember you need the right sizes and right seasons. Before buying, plan out what size you'll need winter clothes versus sumemr clothes. As well, we started a chart to track what we have bought so we don't end up with 36 cute onsies and no pants because we bought item by item without planning!! Have fun!
