DH and I have been trying to keep the baby costs down. I'll admit I've made a few impulse clothing buys (the outfits are so darn cute!). I have a friend and a SIL who are due around the same time as I am, both of whom went out and bought full (and overly full wardrobes for baby). Within the last three weeks I have had two suprise baby showers and now have so many little outfits they barely fit in the dresser! I did not expect any showers and was deeply grateful for all the kindness people showed us. It just reaffirmed for me that sometimes it pays to hold off, even when the money wants to burn a hole in your pocket!
Why not to buy too much baby stuff

You would assume someone petite like my SIL would have a petite baby but she had a 10-pounder that never fit those sizes at all.

monkeymama - thankfully the majority of clothes I got where 6 months plus. I already have everything for the layette stage. When going to baby showers in the future I am going to bypass buying anything under 6 months as I know several people who have had a 10 pound plus baby recently....
