Getting the urge to buy things?

Question

I really, really want to start working on the babies room and start buying things for the baby shower and for the baby (not big things, little things that we will need). It is really hard to not buy anything. I wanted to wait till we found out the s*x of the baby in 3 weeks to start doing all that. And my baby shower is Dec. 7th.

How do I resist the urge to start planning and buying things for at least 3 more weeks?... It is killing me.

Answer 1

I know exactly how you feel and it is so hard to resist buying little things here and there..  Its been killing me not to buy anything yet and Ive been this way for the last month or so, finally today I get my scan and hopefully we will see what the baby is! I don't really think there is anything to take your mind off it except doing other things but it still sneaks up on you lol. Good luck!

Answer 2

Its really hard i know.  I wanted to do the same as you, wait till i knew the s*x.  I bought some stuff before i knew the s*x to tied me over...stuff like bumper and cot set cos i knew i wanted a neutral nursery anyway and then just saved all the personalised stuff like clothes until after i knew the s*x.  Once i knew i was having a girl I started to buy lovely pink clothes and soothers etc.  I have made a baby shower list of the things i want so i know not to buy them.

Things like bibs, baby grows and blankets and sheets you can buy now if you desire to just get you through the next few weeks.  I know how exciting it is to just wanna spend spend spend on your little one.

Answer 3

lol, i'm 10 weeks and really!!!! want to start everything now, i can't wait and it i staking alot of self control not to buy anything, its worse when you're out shopping and you walk past a baby shop and all you want to do is run in and buy one of everything lolz,

you could buy a couple of neutral coloured things so it doesn't matter what s*x the baby is you can still use them. just don't go overboard and buy an entire nursery lolz

good luck with everything =D

Answer 4

the only way i can think of to curb your buying craving is to avoid stores that carry baby things for 3 wks, and also, make a list of what you WISH you were buying...so you are prepared and focused when the time comes...
