I'm due Aug 8th and I haven't bought anything yet, I'velooked at plenty of adorable outfits. I'm trying to hold off on buying anything until we know what we're having. And since we are usr our crib we used for our son, we don't have to worry about that. I know that once we find out what it is, I'll go nuts like I did with my son

If you're going to have a baby shower, I would highly recommend just saving the money and not buying anything (except cute little things like stuffies or an adorable outfit) because you never know what you'll get at a shower. With my son, we got enough in gift cards to buy him a very nice crib (a convertible one that will turn into a toddler bed and a double bed) and we were fortunate enough to be gifted a carrier/stroller combo and a bassinet- among many other things. You may as well save the money to get the last minute purchase items you didn't get as a gift.
But if you don't think you'll have a baby shower then just go nuts and buy whatever, whenever!

I'm also due August 9th.  I haven't bought ANYTHING for the baby yet, but in my culture, it's considered a bad omen to bring baby items into the house this early.  I have some friends who are done having kids and have given me a bunch of baby items, and I am keeping it all at my moms house.  At this point, the babies room is painted and being used as my husbands "man cave" until we get closer.  When we are closer to the due date, we will empty the room so that when the time is right, we can set up the room.  Probably in July.  Hopefully I don't go early.  :-)

I haven't gotten any big things but I've started buying gender neutral clothing, mainly nm for when my babies first arrive. I'll be having two baby showers so I'm going to see what all I have after that and then but whatever I don't have.

I literally just finished making a baby bag lol. Since I'm a day away from 2nd trimester,  I feel comfortable enough to. I don't think there's really a time too soon, whenever you're ready. Just get gender neutral stuff until you know.
