Babygear

For the last two years I have been secretly going into baby stores to look at baby items. I have wanted jellybean for so much longer than I admit to most persons. I would get sad in the stores when we began to TTC & every month I got a BFN. I am so excited that now with a baby on board, I can look at babygear in the hopes that six months from now I will have my jellybean.

Even though I love baby shopping I am also very money conscious. I want my child to have nice things- but not at the expense of me & DH's financial well-being. If there is one thing I will admit is that I am a frugal momma. I love bargains that are quality over quantity. My hubby finds it funny how I will comb each receipt to ensure I am not being overcharged for nothing. I love saving.

As apart of a baby community I have begun researching things for my jellybean's arrival. The items I thought were way to go momma you're not being too cheap I realized didn't come up on most other mom's lists. But looking around my home country the items I chose are actually pretty good- tested & true in the humid Bahamian weather. Just want to share with you some of the key items on my list below:

This is what I fell in love with when I was looking for something to be used as a bassinet & a play yard.

Baby Items Organizer (You can see a theme with me- I want to be as prepared as possible & a part of that is having things/items organized):

The items listed & pictured above are the items we will buy before the baby comes (with the exception of clothes, diapers & other essentials)- anything else people think we need they can gift to us [which is why I love having six sisters ;-)] Until next time I hope that you continue to nurture, care & support your families!
