4 months pregnant...what should I buy for the baby?
I am pretty early in my pregnancy still, I guess, but was thinking I should probably start buying things for the baby. I just don't know where to start! What do I buy first for the baby? It's, of course, my first and we aren't going to find out it's gender until the baby is born :D
Should I get newborn clothes or diapers or a crib or should I wait until it's closer to my delivery date? Should I buy the expensive, necessary things right now? I just want to be prepared, that's all.

I would focus on the important things and the most exspensive things just to get it out of the way. Here is a list of ideas...
Crib
Changing Table
Diapers
Strollers
Car Seat
Booster Seat
Play Pen
If you have bought those things already you could buy clothing but you might want to buy "Yellow" as you do not know the gender of the baby yet. Once you hit about 8 months I would start stacking up on Formula, Towels, etc.

I think right now, you should buy things like a crib, the changing table & the stroller. Those things are usually the most expensive and it's best to get those first.
At your baby shower (which is traditionally held when the woman is around 7 months) you almost always get the majority of other stuff. You get pacifiers, clothes, diapers, rash cream, etc.
Your best bet is to register at a store like Babies R Us, Target or Wal*Mart and tell your family about it. They can find you by name in the registry computer.
I think that you should buy pacifiers, diapers, the shampoo & stuff, baby powder, clothes, shoes, blankets, jackets (depending on when you're due), etc. Take your mom with you. She'll be able to help you with what you need. :)
Congratulations on your baby!

well your going to get things at your baby shower if your having one, most likely a lot of clothing if your going to have a baby shower you should do what my friend did, in your invitations say that whoever brings diapers will get there name put in a drawing for (any store, pizza place, ice cream place ext....) and just buy a small gift certificate for somewhere its worth it my friend is still using only the diapers she got from the baby shower and her baby boy is 5 months old almost 6.
i would wait to buy the expensive things, who knows your mother or someone might buy you a stroller or something, so you don't want to have doubles i would wait until like 6 months in or even 7 to start buying the crib and stuff. i would start off small with clothes and maybe stuff to decorate the room like if theres a theme stuff to go along with it.. do whatever you want though

Hey there,first off let me say congratulations :)
hope all goes well for you!
Okay well if this were me what I would do is rather then buy everything at once now,or closer to the time I would pick things up along the way a few things at a time if that makes sense.
it all depends on how well your financial state is going too.
so I would say now maybe start picking up some clothes,nuetural colours of course because you dont know the gender,mostly white creams,and lemons.
then when the babys born you can buy more once you know the gender of course :)
as for the crib,pram && all that discuss it with your parthner maybe about when its afordable etc theres no hurry you have another 5months so its really just up to you!
but I would say buy the nesecary things like bottles and diapers baby formula (if your not breastfeeding) baby grows vests.
im sure you will be more then prepared most first time mothers arent! so just relax and build things up over the coming weeks and months it works out cheaper then.
if you are having trouble what to get etc take your mom with you no one knows better then her she should surely be able to help and it would be nice to bond over some baby shopping lol :)
hope I helped!
good luck once again
much <3
