I almost bought a onesie...

[winecheery]

The other day I was buying Christmas pressies for other people's babies and I was all...I kinda want a onesie, they are so cute and by the time I get KU these adorable things will be gone!

"if you build it, he will come" riiiight? Like if I buy a baby item for a non-existant baby, maybe the universe will take hint?? And then, BAM pregnant.

Isn't this what The Secret is all about??? Like mind powers making things happen? I might try this method if I continue to have a barren womb lol

I was the exact opposite, I wouldn't buy anything because I felt like it would jinx my chances.

I still haven't bought a single baby-related item.

[winecheery]

I didn't get it. But I don't know, I've had that kind of crap work for me in he past. Like we FINALLY got a guest bed and now suddenly everyone we know is coming out to CA and wants to crash on the couch...but I'm all we have a bed now! So idk...

No way I'd want a lonely onesie sitting in a drawer each month, it would just make me sad.

Well, when you put it that way...

I was thinking more like making your own destiny, or luck or something. Meh. I guess I'm alone in this wackadoo thinking.

I'm way to logical to think that sperm, egg, and uterine lining mold themselves based on my purchasing habits. If I saw something that I really thought was SO AMAZING, I might buy it ahead of time, but for the most part I am with sunflower -- baby items and no baby = sad.

I haven't bought anything. (yet!)

I have however signed up for some free sample websites that mail out samples of diapers, and other baby stuff. DH found out about this after a few months and he thought I was crazy. (But I still haven't stopped yet)

I have a couple dozen diaper samples in all sizes. We plan to use cloth but they will still come in handy!

Are you kidding me? I have a shitload of baby stuff, and no baby (yet).

Most of it has been passed down to us from others who are done with kids, but I'll buy things here and there. I recently bought a really cute Halloween outfit, because it was on clearance. I also bought some PJs on our trip to Alaska that look like longjohns with a butt flap.

[awick14]

O ya, we have a whole bunch of shit in my parents shed, and some stuff at the ILS as well. I don't know what's there but it is all hand me downs from my niece and dh's niece and nephew. I forgot about this stuff. Every time one of our parents tells us we should take the stuff we come up with excuses not to. Mainly just say we are not planning on kids for another 2-4 years so no Thanx.

If they were to throw it out, or give it away if we don't take it, then we will take it. Other the. That they are stuck with it!!

this is my thinking too. I saw some maternity pants at Target the other day, maroon straight leg corduroy pants. I would wear the shit out of those, especially in the fall. but nope, not buying anything baby or maternity-related until BFP. I am a nurse, so therefore I fully believe in jinxes.

[winecheery]

Yeah, I believe in jinxes in other aspects of life kinda...but I don't know, maybe this could have had a positive spin?? Oh well. Onesie moment passed. I didn't buy the thing!

I guess it's good thing too. Now that Sun mentioned a lonely onesie in a drawer all I can think of is a darkened, bare room, with a spotlight on the opened drawer that is otherwise empty, with sad violins playing somewhere...

[HoneySpider]

You'll have plenty of time to buy stuff eventually

Lol, exactly!!!

I have a lot of baby stuff but its been given to me. I don't buy anything for myself. It hasn't made me sad yet, just hopeful, but that may change if I'm not ku by my first edd. If it gets to much I will store stuff at my parents.

[tarheels]

DH is a helicopter pilot. You can bet that if I saw a onesie with a helicopter on it (a rarity for sure), I'd snatch it up! I have no reason to believe we're infertile, so I refuse to be all doom and gloom; now's just not our time. But for regular baby stuff, I probably wouldn't buy it because there's always cute baby stuff, ya know?

[sunflower22]

Oh, I'm infertile so I have good reason!! lol

[annabear07]

I am somewhat supersticious and I blame being an athlete in my formative years. I have only bought a rosary and a book when we were in Italy last year and I figure those can easily be given as gifts without any hurt. So in my head they are gifts that we are holding on to right now.

I also knit baby hats for all of my friend's babies, but I won't start on one until they are born. And then I'm in a mad panic to get it to them soon after!
