Hey ladies...

Well im due in less than 5 weeks!!! Baby Sofia has dropped and I've lost my plug...i didn't lose it first time round...and never want to lose one again. It truly was disgusting and it lasted about a week before it was all out. Im 1 cm dilated now too. so yay for me. Est birth weight is 7lbs 7oz and length approx 19 inches

anyway...my question: Im due 12 days before Christmas....would you buy her anything for christmas? My mum has bought her a baby swing for christmas....and iv already bought pretty much everything else. What should I do? Iv done all my other shopping bar baby. Not sure whats best....she's got so many soft toys already.....and she's got a few basic baby toys..I dont want too many just yet as she'll still be tiny at xmas and wont use them really.

She has so many clothes....im not sure whether I should just buy baby stuff like forumula and nappies to wrap up and say is from santa (I have toddlers too)??? Stuff that she will need. hmm...any input is great. What would you do?

Thanks in advance ↓

She will only be a couple days old on christmas day. I don't think that buying her anything is really necessary. SHE WON'T REMEMBER. Now if you don't want to feel about getting her anything, then you should probaly wrap up some diapers and wipes like you said. She will need plenty of those. Well good luck but I think it would be a waste of money seeing she has soo many stuff already. ↑

If you really think your family will think you're a scrooge, then just wrap up some toys she already has. =) ↑

sinse you have toddlers i would make sure and have a few things under the tree from santa. i have a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old little girls and i know they would notice if santa doesn't bring anything for their brother even though he will only be 4 months old.....
diapers and wipes and thing would be fine to wrap up or formula if you are planning on using any or bottles...stuff your going to need. and if you guys do stockings, i would just throw the passys in there...things along thoughs lines.

and if you do wrap up toys that you already have, if you make them from santa, make sure your older kids don't know that they were something you already had! :o) ↑
