Too many clothes to list
It's never ending, before his birth I spent a fortune and after I continue to spend a fortune but I think we have everything now :)

Luckily he was born before x mas so we asked people for things he will need throughout the year. He got a baby walker (that he sits in) a baby walker (one that you push) projecting cot mobile, tummy time spinner, another buggy arch, musical tummy time mat and other bits he will need until his birthday.

I am now pregnant again and literally all we need to buy is a second stage isofix base for the car seat and another cotbed and that's it. I already bought adapters and seats to make my peach a blossom when we started trying. So sounds a lot but divided by 2 isn't bad! X

Wow you have done well! I was lucky with DS because in laws bought our pram and my parents bought the cot so that was two expensive things we didn't have to worry about. My weakness was clothes, I bought a lot but I did get most in the sales so I didn't feel guilty about it. It's time round we really don't need much at all. Obviously as she is a girl I will have to get some pink things and create a girly nursery hehe but all the big stuff we have. I really admire people who manage to budget so well. Because we don't have much we need to get I've already deciding that justifies me spending more on furnishings for the nursery and an electric breast pump! Oops, guess I'll never be saver of the year! Xxx
