Ok I’m a little bit of a shopaholic and also a planner. Whenever my friends would get pregnant I would go all out and spoil them/their baby because I love making people happy and I love babies lol.

Now it’s my turn! This will be my first baby, and I’m almost 6 weeks (I know it’s early). But I’m soooo excited and I’ve already had my first appointment and my levels are great. My first ultrasound is September 9th and I’m so excited! I’m also a little obsessed with baby things! I want to slowly start buying things so I won’t need to get everything all at once. I also will not be having a baby shower because I’m in the military and stationed far from home and I can’t go visit home nor do I know many people out here.

So what are some must haves and “wants” (that are not totally necessary but a perk)? I of course will not start shopping until my 2nd trimester (expected for maybe some cute unisex baby clothes). My husband will also be a stay at home dad after my maternity leave so our monthly income will be cut in half, which is why I’d rather worry about buying and saving while pregnant rather then later on (so extra money can go to babysitter, date nights, formula, diapers etc.).

And yes, I will point out again that I am very excited and i cant help but obsess about baby things 😂
