I’m having my third girl and I bought another Nanit camera, a rocker and a boppy, plus a few matching outfits for her and her older sisters. We didn’t need a rocker before, but with my second daughter being a little more wild, I think a designated place for the baby is a good idea - the boppy is to help the girls hold their baby sister. Otherwise I think all I got were postpartum things like Depends underwear, nipple cream and some new baby wash and lotions and saline and stuff like that.

I bought an “announcement outfit” for the hospital for baby. We have 2 girls already and this one is going to be a surprise. I have a white zippy with a hat or bow option and then a girl blanket or boy blanket depending. Otherwise, not buying anything??? Until afterward. if it's a girl we are set! if its a boy, we need clothes!

@mamar2122,
we’re in the exact same situation! We’re team green for our third with two girls already. If it’s a girl, we’re set. If it’s a boy we’ll be doing some target same day pick up lol. I’m bringing the same going home outfit I took both girls home in and I’ll buy a boy one and that’s it!

I haven’t bought much either. Diapers, wipes, some newborn onesies/sleepers since I had gotten rid of a lot, pump supplies and bottles, etc.
I still need to get a baby monitor addition to my Infant Optics, an infant car seat (got the convertible already), a coming home outfit, etc.
I’ve been handed down a few things I need like an additional bottle rack, white noise machine and swaddles.

I’ve bought a pack of diapers and a sound machine. We like the hatch ones because they have the added nightlight feature and my 3.5 year old isn’t ready to give his up yet so we got a new one for this baby.
On my list is a changing pad for the table in our room, a new diaper pale of some sort (we threw out our genie after our second was born), probably a new outfit or two. I would love to order a name plate or some kind of announcement piece but I’m not completely sold on a name yet �� he will probably be officially named once I see him.

3rd time mom and buying everything because I’m starting all over. There will be an 11 year age gap between my second and third so I had nothing saved except books and memento items from #1 & 2 (few outfits and blankets). They’re boys and this is a girl so everything is being bought again. No baby shower either.

We’re having our third boy so pretty much have everything clothing wise at this point.
We have to buy a second crib/crib mattress (my second is still using his),
A second pack n play (we have one already but I want a second one so I can have one set up in our bedroom and one for the living room to make things easier while I recover. Plus our second still uses one when we travel),
Hospital going home outfit, new bottles/nipples (hoping to bf but want this one to take a bottle occasionally!), a couple new crib sheets and then postpartum/BF items like nipple cream, pads etc. that’s really it.

New bottles, pacifiers, crib sheets, mattress, bottle warmer, diapers/wipes. We’ve kept all our bigger items so really just a few things we tossed 3 years ago.
