Baby stuff when TTC...

Anybody else find themselves with a few baby items when TTC...?

'I thought' I'd only picked up a few baby items over the course of this year but I now realise when I've put it all in one place together it's pretty much a small box of things! Now I feel silly. In a way I think having the stuff makes me feel better in the sense that 'I will get to use these one day', 'my baby will wear this' but also on the other side of 'I may never get to use this stuff ever'.

It's basically like 6 baby grows, a pram mobile thing and a bear from my grandmother 🙈

Anybody else done this or am I just crazy 😣. I think it's actually keeping me sane! Lol

Whatever helps keep you sane can't be a bad thing...

It wouldn't have kept me sane! Rather the opposite!!

I have gone bonkers on the getting stuff for a baby front a bit lol.
I rationalise it with when we have got pregnant it will be a very short 9 months to buy a lot of stuff for baby so I have been getting bits and pieces for the last 6 months. And a lot of what I have got has been given to us so it will save us a lot of money if and when the special day happens.

God no, I am totally the opposite! After over 2 years TTC without success, I couldn’t deal with seeing baby stuff in my house 😔

Not physical stuff but I've definitely made lists for the future, and downloaded loads of sewing patterns because I have this idea I'm somehow going to find the time to make EVERYTHING myself - this will never happen lol. There's definitely temptation there, I totally understand where you're coming from.

I have put it in a box and stored it under my bed. Motivation to keep trying all I can to help (For me anyway!)💕

Trying acupuncture this week &
Got day 21 bloods on Friday so fingers crossed it's good news 🤞🏼
