H and I test drove strollers and ended up with a city mini because nothing can beat how easy that sucker is to fold. And I found someone selling it NIB for $150 so it sealed the deal.
We got a used snoo today too.
I want an owlet monitor.
No idea what car seat to buy.
I also found this Pinterest post with a ton of freebie mom stuff so I got a few nursing covers, a pillow, and a few car seat covers.
I want a bougie glider.

We're reusing most stuff, but I've definitely bought new clothes for baby (bad, me 🙈) and bought a City Select double stroller from a friend early pregnancy.
We still gotta get a carseat (probably another Graco Extend2Fit?) and otherwise, I think we're honestly set.
I do want a second newborn lounger, though, since L uses hers in her pillow pit.

I kept EVERYTHING from the twins so we're good on most things.
The City Select can be used as a double or single stroller so I'm patting myself on the back for that one. I will be selling the double BOB and probably buy a single used.
So far I've bought a Mumbelli. I'm really excited about it. The twins slept in rock 'n plays in the beginning so obviously that was out this time around.
I picked up a single Boppy and a Sit-me-up seat on BST for killer deals, basically the only things we didn't have the first time around.
Yesterday I scored a Sakura Bloom Scout from their sample sale. I'm hoping to babywear more this time around and the TwinGo we have was really never comfortable for me.
The last big thing on my list is an Elvie pump. I majorly failed at breastfeeding/pumping last time around. Lazy nursers, low suppy, PPA, good times. I'm really hoping to succeed this time, so a totally hands/cords/tube-free pump is amazing and I hope will be the ticket! I should call insurance today to figure out if/how much they'll cover on that.
I think I'll actually end up selling/clearing out more than I buy since we have so many doubles, which my husband will be SO thrilled about.

Adding a Solly wrap to my list. I have a Moby but it's so thick and hot and my big kids want to be running around outside every waking moment.

I need to get a bathtub for newborns... anyone have one they like? The last one we had was one of those blue tubs that could go over the kitchen sink (bought in 2014) and I want something different this time. That was one of the items I got rid of this summer in our “we’re done having babies!” purge 🙃

What is everyone using for a rock n play like thing. We got rid of ours with the decal but used it a ton with my first two. We would put them in it while we eat dinner, when they were awake. I’m trying to figure out a new “baby holder” for those sorts of situations.

I’m trying to figure out a new “baby holder” for those sorts of situations. a bouncer. same concept just a different name/shape/whatever. they have tons of different ones to choose from but i'll probably get a cheap target one for these instances. i have a swing also but it's bulky and not as manouverable as a bouncer.

I’m thinking we’ll get a sit and stand stroller. DD will be almost 3.5 by the time baby is here so a full on double stroller seems too much. I’m looking at the Joovy Caboose Ultralight.
Otherwise, we’ll buy few odds and ends. Nothing too exciting. We have a bouncer seat to use as baby receptacle, but I’ll definitely mourn the loss of the rock and play.

sundog we used the Fisher Price 4 in 1 sling and seat tub. Great for different stages. There’s a little sling for newborns, one side is a reclining seat, the other is an supported upright seat, then you can remove the seat once they’re more stable. We used it until DD tried to stand up in it so it lasted a good while.

Thanks!

Nothing special but it works.

Found a Solly wrap for $30 on Marketplace! MH keeps teasing me about how I said "we won't really need much for new baby, we already have everything!" Welp, things change in 5 years, sorry!

Ordered a name blanket from Highway 3's black friday sale, so I guess this kid is officially named!

So far all I've gotten are a few outfits from Carter's. I think once I hit the third trimester we will really start buying the few things that we need.

We still don’t know gender yet so haven’t bought anything. We have one of each so don’t need to much either way. My DD is excited to give the baby all her old stuff because we have watched the Daniel Tiger baby episodes way too many times.

Had to break down and buy a maternity coat. I was able to avoid it last time with my June babies, but not this time! At least I found one on Marketplace for cheap!

Having had a March and impending Jan/Feb baby makes me glad I got a two-sizes-too-big clearance coat a bajillion years ago. I can even use it for babywearing! Good job, past Rama. ...........however, this has not stopped me from coveting a pregnancy coat anyway. 😂 I almost bought on in November, but the website crashed on me and I didn't go back.

I lucked out and got a maternity coat on BF from old navy for like $30. Which is good because my standard coat doesn’t zip anymore, but maybe not so good because I’m always too hot to wear it anyway. 😂

I bought some maternity clothes online weeks ago and they are stuck in the USPS shipping void 😒 at this rate I may give birth before they arrive.

Just got a double stroller! Didn’t need it when DD was born because DS had just turned 5. With DD and this LO being just over 2 years apart figured I’d need one. I went with the Thule Urban Glide double. I wanted something that would be good on all terrain.
