Wait a second ka... You mean to tell us that you don't have any of the bigger stuff? No stroller, no car-seat, no crib, no whatever else you need for a baby?! You seriously do have .N.O.T.H.I.N.G! D*mn girl. Yeah, and you definitely need a car seat for when you bring your little one home from the hospital... They won't let you leave without one! Oh, and just a random thought, why the heck is your first name so freaking long?! I thought my whole name was long but if kelly anne t-something is just your first name...?!?!

I live in canada but I found a crib here for only 130 bucks at wal-mart! And a carseat is pretty mandatory. U need it to leave the hospital and if ever need to run somewheres quickly or visit relatives, u'll need a carseat. A baby wont go in a stroller for a few weeks.. But its also good to have to help exercise with baby afterwards.

A baby usually won't sleep in a crib right away and u'll find it hard to put her in another room while ur sleeping. I used a cradle my mom gave me. And my sister's baby sleeps with her in the bed. I know a lot of people who have their babies sleep in their bed. It also helps reduce the risk of sids becuz the baby will catch on to the pattern of ur breathing and what not. Subconsciously you know the baby's there so you won't roll onto it. They say the only time not to put baby in bed with u is if ur intoxicated since your subconscious cant really get it thru that there is a baby right there. But other than that its totally safe anc heap to have the baby sleep in your bed for the first few weeks.

Are you breastfeeding? In your case, it would probably be better to breastfeed since formula is soo expensive and you always have to sterilize the water and the bottles everytime u use em, and with breastmilk, its free, its so much easier, it benefits the baby so much more by keeping it from getting colds and reducing ricks of allergies and it also helps u to lose more weight from after having a baby and brings you back to a fuller figure... And (another plus!) is it makes your breasts another cup size bigger, while u still get your normal figure back... So your body looks great after having a baby! Lol!

I have a bunhc of girl clothing and baby wash stuff and receiving blankets and what not, since danica is now out of 3 months and she has waaaay too many clothes. I can send u some if u like.. (i wont send any that are stained dont worry hahaha!)

you'll do okay! We're all here for ya!

130! I got mine from walmart it was the cheapest one and it was 200!Man everything hear costs so much. I wonder why...You would think at walmart everything would cost the same all over canada?Like 3 receiving blankets costs just over 20$ before taxes. Maybe thats just me that finds that expensive but with no income....20 for 3 blankets...That you will go through in a snap is a bit much. I personally think that they charge way too much for baby stuff. Its all adorable but when theyre clothes costs as much as ours its a little silly

Yeah, I agree with you. Everything does cost way too much. Little stuff costs just as much as big stuff now. Its just crazy. I have a big baby tote of things I had saved when I had my miscarriage. I would suggest consignment shops. There is really cute baby crib sets on this one here. So many toys and things like that for babies. All really decently priced. Next time, I get preggity, I am going to second hand stores because they go through things so quickly anyways...They grow so fast.
