Shopping Habits???

[MamaJ2005]

Okay, so I feel so silly. I have already shopped on Ebay, Old Navy, and Gymboree websites for this baby and for me (maternity stuff). I think it's out of my system for now. I'm really gonna try to cut it out. I completely emptied my paypal account, so now my motivation is to sell some more to build it back up. Then I can shop again! : ) What has everyone else done already??? : )

Diapers, diapers, and more diapers.

I haven't bought anything for the new bub yet. But then, I have nearly everytthing i NEED from DS. Except for NB and small diapers, and if baby is a girl I will need lots of pink and ruffles. But I won't know that for quite a while. Meantime, I really should start making a few diapers for the baby, but I bet I will hold off on that doing other peoples diapers, and then run out of time and have to buy some.

I have been looking at maternity clothes for me! This time I am in a totally different season. It's kind of silly since I only found out a few days ago, and my clothes fit fine. It's hard to resist the temptation-that said, I have not actually bought anything just yet!

The only thing I've looked at so far is yarn. I didn't really knit when dd was born, so I'm really looking forward to knitting some baby things.

I haven't bought anything, but am planning to sew some diapers for the baby and maternity blouses for myself. I am convinced that all the maternity clothing for sale is UGLY, so I'm excited about sewing my own :lol This will be a new challenge for me though, since the only thing I really know how to sew is a straight hem.

I, um, ordered 6 maternity shirts from Motherhood on Sunday. They arrived Tuesday. What can I say, they were on sale for $4.99 each, and I was worried I would have a hard time finding cheap sleeveless shirts in the winter.

I started buying fabric for diapers 2 months ago, jusitifying it because I wanted to sew some diapers for a pregnant friend. Of course, that justification is kind of hollow when you buy enough fabric for an entire stash, not just for the 3 or 4 diapers you plan to give as a gift...

Yeah I have been shopping too. Although I started even before I got pregnant. I have been shopping since the pregnancy too. My sister even got me something for the baby even before I was pregnant. She got me the cutest Thai dress from her trip to Thailand. Of course if it turns out to be a boy then my niece will get to wear it. Mostly though I have bought my self maternity cloths on sale. I love the 4.99 sale stuff from Motherhood Maternity. How can I resist? I figure I will get so many baby cloths from my baby shower that I am resisting buying more.

Nothing yet. Nor planning to for a bit (until the clothing forces me to) Still feeling a bit cursed from last time.

Don't feel too bad... n ow of course i am doing diapers as a business, but i buy fabric in 5 and ten yard increments weekly. I have waiting to be used, about 30+ yards cotton flannel, 6-7 terry, and 10 fleece, plus othher miscellaneous fabric.

Well, I've already bought like 6 or 8 maternity clothes. And I recently discovered diaperswappers.com, so I've been going crazy and bought a whole bunch of diapers in size small. My husband saw all the charges from paypal and he was none too happy. Oh well.

[LaffNowCryLater]

I been "window shopping" online for maternity clothes, and I have been trying to score some dipes, but nothing yet. Someone stole all of my small diapers and some of my mediums :irked: so I really need to stock up on my newborn stash.

[bugnbean]

I've also been window shopping for maternity clothes. My last two babies were born in the dead heat of summer. This one in spring, so I'll need to update my maternity stash a bit.

I walked through JCPenney's maternity section and saw stuff for $2.97 -- darn Skippy I stopped and bought a bunch!!! Here I was at like 4 weeks, buying 6 new maternity items. But gee-whiz, for $2.97 a piece?! You can't even buy used stuff at Goodwill for that!

Oh, and being here on this site it currently keeping me from my two biggest obsessions for this pregnancy: slings and diapers. I will be all over that for the next several months. The sickness has begun!
