Well, I did it...
On the eve of PCP/TTC Wednesday, while C is working late, I am here to confess that I made my first for-baby purchase.
I have been being really good and holding out and not buying anything at all because it is waaaayyyy too early, but I finally gave in to temptation! The Charley Harper collection at Old Navy was too dear for me to resist.
The purchase:
http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=38408&pid=622164
It's just a little board book - very easy to put away and store until needed. It was inexpensive and only available for a limited time! At least I was good and ordered one book rather than both books and the peg puzzle (which, I admit, I considered). And Cecilia even approved!
Not to be a bad influence or anything, but you should all probably buy one of these books because they're so cute 
Also, Old Navy maternity looks very cute and quite reasonably priced! Don't worry, I didn't order anything......

Re: Well, I did it...
It's Ok... I have a baby tote... it has stuff I don't want sitting out for company to see (pregnancy books and baby toys) or the pets to get to.
We are 6.25 yrs away from TTC again but when we tried last time and the test was "positive" I bought a few small things (onesies, etc) and I couldn't just donate them for some reason when we lost.
I'd be buying more but E has made me swear I will not purchase another baby thing (Without his involvement) until we visit the fertility doc in 5 years.
(FYI It doesn't sound that long in our "plan"... in this post 6.25 years sounds like a ridiculous amount of time! Now I want a baby again)

Thanks an adorable book Brit! We only have two baby items - both onesies. One I bought K a few years ago because it was is just so 'us'. The other we picked up at Target during Halloween because K found it adorable.
Confession: I have a wish list on Babies R Us.
Congratulations on joining the Couldn't Resist club. Beware-- once you make the first purchase, it is so much easier to make the second!
I managed to resist purchasing the book, but I did add it (and the ABC one) to the amazon wish list that I have going for the future kiddo(s). (Their wish list is my official outlet for the baby-crazies... I have tons of books and a few toys on there.)
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
I bought kids books even before L and I were together!
L and I did buy a lamp for the kids room 3 years before we got pregnant - and it sits in the boys room now. I look at it every now and then and remember what a long journey it was to get them (which helps on days they are being crazy!!!)
I LOVE Charley Harper! Great buy... I actually have the chunky version of his ABC book on back order through Amazon, and I bought this print:
for the guest bedroom/nursery. The t-shirt they have at old navy actually comes with one of my favorite prints of his (the bird sideways on the tree, leaning down towards the snow). I might have to buy it!
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

S and I have both bought some outfits over the years that were supposed to be for gifts that we loved so much they never made it out of the house. They live on a shelf in the second bedroom. I have always bought children's books so I have a collection that is on the bottom shelf of the book shelf in the living room all ready for a baby to pull off. I must say we made it in and out of babies r us this past weekend only buying a bib (for my dad's b-day when we tell them we are preggers) and some belly butter. I was quite proud of our restraint.
Very cute book!
On a recent vacation we were at Universal Islands of Adventure and they have a whole Dr. Suess themed section of the park. We went nuts and bought stuffed animals and a onsie that says "Thing 1" from cat and the hat! It's hard not to buy cute little things when you see them!
