Let the Shopping Begin!

I have been DYING to buy something baby-related ever since we found out we were pregnant, but I knew better than to jinx it. Even this week after hitting 12 weeks and announcing it to the world I have still been hesitant. Of course I had my eye on a few things, but I just wasn't ready to commit quite yet.

However, upon waking to the news that Betsey Johnson, LLC filed for bankruptcy my hormones (and judgment) went completely haywire. I immediately googled all the amazing BJ stuff I had passed up buying before, and I burst into tears at the thought that this might be my last chance!! Through some connecting of the dots I reasoned that that diaper bag I had been following on eBay (nothing to do with Betsey Johnson) might also stopped being produced and would never be mine either. Somehow it all made sense..and I ended up purchasing my first piece of baby gear! I couldn't be more excited!!! Here she is! EEEK!!

I think a diaper bag is a good first purchase. It doesn't have to be gender-specific like nearly everything else I am holding off on. Speaking of...I can't wait another minute to find out whether this is going to be a girl or boy!! I am hoping we can convince our doctor to look at 17 weeks which is just over a month. In the meantime I have got to start thinking of other non gender-specific purchases I can begin considering. Now that I've started I don't think I will be able to stop myself!
