Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

No, I would never go out and buy gender specific items for each gender and then return then after the baby arrives. I actually think doing that is incredibly weird, especially when you've already got a child of each gender, if it's that important they wear pink or blue from the second they arrive can they not wear an outfit you already have and then you can go out and buy pink or blue when you do know? Or surely your baby can wear a gender neutral outfit for a few days at birth?

Buying clothes on sale that you may not need(gender specific), just takes them away from people who may genuinely need them right now.

Yay to the sale, but I am with the others why buy something you won't need. I get it if it is one outfit (like an easter thing or something) but a whole heap makes no sense to me.
Am I the only person who loves babies in white? |

QUOTE (MrsLexiK @ 17/01/2013, 01:45 PM) Am I the only person who loves babies in white? No, I loved my first daughter in white but my other two were lighter in colouring so I prefered them in something brighter. This post has been edited by fifi-trixibelle: 17/01/2013, 01:07 PM |
