Had my 20 week scan this morning, all is well, and it's a boy! so relived and happy all is well, and quite excited to have a boy, as we already have a girl. Well, a girl would have been lovely too, actually didn't have a preference at all, but now when it's a boy I feel excited to be having one of each! only downside is, got to get all new clothes! going to have a look through DD's clothes and hoping to find quite a few unisex things from the early days.
Grapefruit, I'd recommend holding off with getting too much stuff, you may get loads of gifts and end up not needing it all! also, there's so much you think you need and once baba is there you hardly use it. I'd say as long as you have a cot, a buggy, a bit of clothes (mainly practical essentials as gifts tends to be all the cute and impractical stuff), a baby bath (remember baby insert so you don't have to hold the head), new born nappies, baby wash, cotton wool for changing, a cellular blanket and a warmer blanket or new born sleeping bag depending on what you prefer, and a few muslins, you're set. Oh, also breast pads for leaking milk and Lanolin cream for sore nipples, and bottles if you plan to bottle feed at all. They don't get into toys until around 3 months at the earliest, and probably you'll get given loads!
