First Baby Purchases!

Since we are officially second trimester, we made our first baby purchase this weekend! Money is tight so the plan is to buy an item or two each month until we have all of the big stuff. We broke down what we are going to need first and made a priority list. We wanted gender neutral, good quality gear so that it can be used for the next baby as well.

First we have to get the baby home, so we got a Graco travel system in the Capri pattern. I think it is much prettier in person than the picture shows! We didn't have a coupon for this, but we ended up getting 20% off because we had to return the first one we purchased. It had been used and had a cigarette burn on the seat cushion. Babies R Us certainly got an earful for that one!



Next we need a place for baby to sleep. All of the moms I have talked to told me that you really don't use the crib for the first few months and that a pack and play with a newborn napper is a great option. We went with the one that matches the travel system. The bonus is that the newborn napper is also a bouncer that removes from the pack and play and has rocker legs on it so it is a bouncer/rocker as well. Score! We had a 20% off coupon for this.
