When should I start buying things

I'm almost 21 weeks, I'm having my baby shower August 30, but my mom n mother in law already planned on what they are buying but of course I have to order it online or in the store. I was wondering when should I buy the stroller, the bed n etc. by the way I live in a one bedroom can't afford a two bedroom so I need to fix the baby's crib in my room which means needs to rearrange my room so the bed can fit in. I don't know if I should wait another month or two or should I slowly by slowly get the things? How far along were u when u started getting the major things for ur baby?

But I should have started sooner. You should buy the small things first like diapers, lotion and powder. I also share a room with my baby, and she uses a playpen as a bed.  It's small and she sleeps great in it. And I can use it all around the house.  They're pretty affordable too, I paid around 70 and it has a bassinet and changing area.

I'm 26 weeks now and I said I would buy the stroller and car seat first and then just get a pack and play they are on sale for 80 at target they don't need a crib yet. I know a lot of ladies that use a pack and play and I'm going to get one it's better and takes up less space. So when your ready to get a bigger place you can find a crib :) save space time and money
