Well, I don't see a question in there, but I agree with your method. You want to be prepared for the baby after she or he is born; you don't want to have the baby sleep in the laundry basket wrapped in towels because you have no furniture and no baby clothes. How you pay for it is another matter, but you will probably lose your own income for awhile after the baby is born, unless you live somweher like Canada where the Employment Insurance covers maternity leave. You are probably in the early stages of the nesting period and you want to prepare as well as you can. This is natural so go for it. I don't understand why your husband wants to wait; is he usually a procrastinator? Has he given you a real reason? Is he ambivalent about the baby? Has someone been telling him things like it's bad luck (which is nonsense)?

I found it helpful to shop for baby stuff before the baby came, because it's MUCH easier to shop by myself without carting a baby around. If after telling your husband this he still objects to you doing the shopping now, then let him know that you'll wait until after the baby comes to resume the shopping and HE can come along with you and hold the baby, while you shop.

I would say you should shop before, so you are prepared for the baby's arrival. You are going to need somewhere for the baby to sleep, and you'll need clothes to put on the baby, does your husband think babies come home naked from the hospital? lol

I think you should try to explain to your husband that you just wanna be prepared and planning and buying things now is a great idea just let him know how exited you are and maybe he'll understand Trust me guys are just like this i already got my crib and its sitting in a box in our bedroom my bf doesnt wanna put it together yet he says its too soon so dont get mad if your husband wants to wait on it all guys are like this sometimes

Hey! I think we're due the same month! You might be a little ahead of me though... ^_^ From reading your other comments, I think your husband has a very morbid viewpoint. Why in the WORLD would you EXPECT your child to die at birth? You can explain it to him this way: You will not be up to getting out of the house for at LEAST the first week after the baby's here. That's if you have a perfectly normal vaginal delivery with no complications. If you have to have a C-section... forget it. WHAT is that child going to wear during that time? be diapered with? eat from? sleep on? Is your husband knowledgable enough about infant care to go on a shopping spree to acquire every single necessary object the child will need for the first six weeks to two months of its life? Will he THINK of a humidifier, or a nasal aspirator? Ask him what a nasal aspirator IS. Heck, you can't even bring the child HOME without clothing and a car seat - they won't let you out the hospital doors. Just... don't tell him the risk of SIDS... or you won't be able to buy anything until the kid is three. Sheesh. Men.

That death ar birth this, btw, also struck my mind when my wife was expecting a couple years ago. We did get a lot of non-gender stuff, having not known it to be a gal until the doctor shouted it during delivery. The week or two following birth is a busy one, especially since half of the two of you will not be 100%, and just may not be the right time to buy a crib, cradle, and butt wipes. The latter -- STOCK UP BIG TIME!!!!!

Hey there, Am 6 mths pregnant too and have started doing baby's room a few weeks ago....While I have the energy and strength to move around more before I get much bigger. And after giving birth I definitely wont be in a mood to be parading in shopping centres with a new-born baby. My husband is very excited about the whole affair getting into it, has his own ideas, at times we are debating a lot..LOL!! Best advice is communicating with your hubby. Just think, when you come home with baby all you want to do is rest and bonding with your baby instead of rushing around to buy baby gears. Goodluck.
