What did you get for kid #2?

[missbella]

We don't know what #2 is yet, but we should the week of Christmas. If #2 is a boy, we should be all set for clothes unless there is a huge size discrepancy because they should be born the same month (same week if he makes it to the due date). If it's a girl, we will probably get new clothes.

We are planning to move DS to a big boy room and keep the nursery, the nursery. DS is getting a twin bed and we will give him one of his current dressers (he has 2 and only has clothes in 2 drawers) and keep the rest of the nursery furniture in the nursery. I am also planning on moving all the decor with him and give #2 his/her own "theme".

So what do I need to buy/get/think about for #2?

Beer and pizza in the hospital.
Made sure we had unexpired car seat.
Done.

well we bought quite a few things...
Another crib, dresser, night stand book shelf for her room, another glider/chair.. DD has her own or uses all these things. We plan to keep the chair in their rooms permanently.
I sold my old stroller and bought a double
We had another girl, but bought some thigns new because season's didn't match up.

A swing. We didn't have one because DD1 was in daycare. It came in handy for sure. Also a few new baby toys so DD1 would leave her alone with her own things.

We didn't buy much out of necessity. I just got a few things here and there out of excitement, like soft new crib sheets by Aden & Anais because these didn't exist when child 1 was born, and new nursing tops because the styles seemed zippier now than back in 2008.

I never liked our first stroller and almost bought marshmallow 's stroller used, but then a friend very generously passed on her Bugaboo to me for free. I also bought a new carrier- a Boba- because I remember that DD seemed to get too tall for the Ergo at a pretty young age, but was old enough that it didn't seem worth investing in a new carrier at the time.

I did get a new car seat, a Graco Milestone, because I wanted it to last through several stages instead of buying something new periodically.

And, finally, we bought DD a new piece of furniture for her room so that I could take the dresser that worked with a changing pad on top to use for the baby. Otherwise, she was already long out of the crib by the time DS was born. And the rocking chair that had been in her room when she was a baby had spent a couple of years out in our living room before we moved it to the baby's room.

eta: we received a ton of boy clothes as hand-me-downs, as well as baby containment gadgets like a swing, etc. No one in my neighborhood hangs on to those big items for long due to space and it was really easy to get them for free.

We bought a double jogging stroller and a glider, b/c I didn't have one the first time around. We still use it in kid #3's room. I love that chair. We didn't need much. For #3 I sold the double stroller for a new single. And the basics like diapers and wipes. New socks and binkies b/c they always disappear.

[soozy87]

We bought a second crib and sheets, a few clothes, and not much else.

[Deleted]

We will buy a new bed and sheets and pacifiers....baby will get DDs old car seat. For the moment that is all we have planned. If it is a boy, there will be more clothes to buy. I'm waiting a bit to see if baby likes the carrier before investing in a double stroller.

Dd was 18 months old when ds was due. So we did get him a new crib, bedding, and dresser. We moved the rocker from her room to his though. We got ds a jumperoo just because we thought he might like it because dd always liked hers at school. New clothes. New nipples for the bottles. And a double stroller. That was all.

Eta. A second video monitor because dd was still so young. And an ergo because I thought I might like wearing him, but it turns out I didn't.

We are reusing the nursery furniture but got all new decor and linens. Also got new bottle nipples, bottle warmer, pacis, diapers, and all new clothes (boy vs. girl this time).

[jessnpaul]

So far, nothing.

But I want a Rock n Play, a new carrier, new clothes (baby #2 is due like 2 weeks after B's 4th birthday, so in theory they should be in the same clothes but B was only 2 pounds and in preemie clothes for a long time!), a new monitor (we still use the one in B's room), sheets, pacifiers, bottle nipples, diapers, etc.

[roo1oo]

We got big boy furniture for DS1 to move him out of the nursery. I'm getting a new (probably used) baby carrier. We might get a new monitor, or minimally an additional camera for the monitor we already have (cameras cost almost as much as some new sets?!).

Otherwise I'll get stuff as I need it, but I don't expect to need much of anything other than diapers. And even those I think I have some of left over from DS1.

[Deleted]

Big girl room for DD and another carseat because we will need 4 total and currently have 3. Thats it. Oh yeah and hairbows because they are too adorable to resist and they didnt really have the cute dorag ones with DD1.

[babyrn]

We haven't bought anything yet but will be replacing bottle nipples, pacifiers, and pump parts. Otherwise only maybe clothes if this one is a boy. My dad is building a loft bed for DD so we will just need to buy the mattress. Otherwise we have all the furniture we will need. DD will be a few months past 3 when this one is here so I don't think we will need a double stroller.

I purchased a Rock n Play for O. I used it when we were upstairs with him, he didn't sleep in it past the first two weeks. If you're interested in it, let me know.

Is it the Auto one?

We bought a new crib (although R is almost 9 weeks and I just pulled the trigger on Monday), a second Nest cam and some clothes because I got rid of all E's newborn stuff. That's it so far and I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with ideas for xmas. So far R has a Kick and Play piano and E has about one million gifts.

I'm having a second boy. My oldest will be just 2 so likely not PTed.

We bought or will buy:
Crib
Dresser
Second sound machine
Second changing pad
New k tan wrap (old one was too big)
Double stroller
BFing stuff for me
Maybe more bottles because I think we lost some
Pacifiers

Yeah mine will be just 2 years apart too. Good call on the second sound machine. I will add that to my list. Are you going to have a changing table/station in each room (assuming they aren't sharing)? I was thinking of just changing DS in the nursery. Although, I guess if the baby is sleeping that won't really work.

No worries!  I felt the same way for poor O.  But he ended up getting a lot more new stuff than I was expecting!
