I dont want to sound materialistic at all but this is my first baby and Im almost 16 weeks along. I have been so excited about revieving all this used stuff. But its getting to the point that if I even suggest buying one thing new I get looks like Im crazy or something. I mean I love not spending any money but I really wanted to buy a new stroller/carseat that my fiancee and I could pick out together and maybe a crib. I dont have expensive taste. I dont plan to spend more than $500 on the baby.

Ive been trying so hard not to be upset about it.. I am grateful.

The thing is.. we recieved a really heavy duty double stroller and it fits a baby seat too. But its so hard to open and close and heavy to push around.. I mean for future children yes but it's so unnecessary. I still want a new infant stroller.. but now Im getting looks like I am being selfish.

Am I being ridiculous? Has anyone else gone through this. I dont want some fancy nursery but its my first baby and Id like yo get a few things new... isn't that supposed to be part of the excitment?
