I am from a religious/superstitious family and our custom is not to purchase any baby gear before the baby comes. While I agreed with this before I was pregnant, now that I'm 24 weeks I'm freaking out that I won't be prepared for what I need when the baby arrives. I'm registering for everything I need and I know my parents plan to get us some of the essentials (car seat, crib, newborn clothes) either right before or when I go into labor, but that's not bringing me much comfort. Any other moms to be waiting till birth to buy stuff?
