Maternity clothes, that is. :-) I bought a pair of $5 Gap maternity jeans from Hope Station (resale), a white tee, and a lovely Japenese Weekend blouse (on sale for 25! marked down from $60!). Which is really silly because I know I can get hand me downs for free from my friends. But since I'm not telling till I start really showing, I wanted the joy of getting a few items. I had gotten rid of EVERYTHING after Nova was about 6 months old. And I mean EVERYTHING. But I do have lots of "too big" clothes from all my weight loss.

What about baby stuff? I don't plan on getting anything until the fall, that seems like tempting fate. Guess I'm superstitious like that.

How about you?

I've gotten some stuff...shhh! :)

I have gotten mostly shirts and a couple pair of knit stretchy comfy pants. I did get some regular maternity pants though because they were on sale and are cute. Oh, I also got some dresses, but just because I can't stand the pressure of pants on my belly already. Wow, already rationalizing...

Just a little bit of a pooch right now, but this is my 3rd pregnancy and I really think I've already gotten a bit of a belly.

I already got maternity cloths leftover from last time, although I might have to get some shorts. I wasn't pregnant in the summer last time.
For baby stuff we are all set from our last baby.

I did, because all the stuff we'll need when we're big is on clearance right now! And *CLEARANCE* is one of my favorite words. :D I got a couple of Old Navy turtlenecks, and a nice suede-like shirt from Kohl's. I also got 2 summer sleeveless tops from Ross. I really wish Old Navy would put their jeans on clearance, though. So far I haven't paid more than $7 for anything, so $26 is just too rich for my blood!:LOL

I haven't bought any yet. I still have some from when I was pregnant with DD. They are mostly Summer clothes. I have a few things that will work, but I'll need long sleeve shirts, jeans etc... I found a big Irish sweater in my closet that will work. It goes past my bum and stretches out way far. So it will fit over my expanding :belly
Most of my stuff was Old Navy and Motherhood. It'll be fun to do all that again! I'm already starting to feel tight in my pants. Especially at night!

Have a good Day All!

I went to Koh's a couple of days ago and bought 5 shirts...all on clearance that i I can wear to work (incuding a red suede-like shirt :LOL ). I spent about $33, so not bad :) i have left overs from my last pregnancy, and hoefully they will still fit too.

I am DYING to buy some maternity stuff! I just love how I look pg and all the clothing is so cute now. THis is my first pgcy that I will show during the summer - and actually here it will be warm through October and into November!

Now that I know I am not the only one with the shopping bug - I am going to go out and do it too! I saw some SUPER cute sundresses on sale that I am just totally in love with! I can't wait to have a big huge belly this summer/fall!

I bought a couple of things because I had gained some winter weight and now hardly anything I own fits me. My big challenge was to find things that fit me now (and don't give away my secret to folks at work) and will also fit later. I bought a short-sleeve sweater (very stretchy) a little black dress (also very stretchy) and a pair of non-maternity pants that were on sale and loose and baggy so they'll probably fit through the summer. I also got some patterns and fabric on sale to make a couple of things.

I hadn't thought of hitting winter clearence, but I guess I will need to get somethings, thanks for the great idea!

I've bought a couple pairs of comfy bootleg trackies ( and I only found out that I was preg on Thursday :D ) .. but that's it .

I never had maternity clothing when I was pregnant with Bray, I just wore clothes that were a size bigger and had drawstring waistbands ... so I have NO CLUE where to start with shopping for maternity clothes .

No maternity clothes yet, but I have plenty leftover. I did buy a litle celebratory baby item or two... the ease of shopping online is just scary!

I probably wont buy much of anything else until after summer...at least, I don't think I will :D

well, since I just found out today that I'm pg, I haven't bought anything yet. But I'm already dreaming about the new maternity section at my Gap. :LOL I alos plan on making a lot of my maternity clothes, which is how I can rationalize spending Gap prices on a few nicer things. :)

i just bought a pair of low-rise maternity jeans from ebay. my first maternity clothing for this pregnancy. i probably won't need much (i wore my reg jeans throughout my entire last pregnancy, and that was with TWINS), but i really like the idea of low rise, because my tummy is always sensitive to pressure when i am pregnant.

i've also bought sprout a couple newborn/small diaper covers, which i probably don't need, either, but they were cute and on sale!
