Months ago my mother in law said - 'Don't buy anything, I want to buy everything for the baby'. Which at the time, I thought, AWESOME. We don't have to worry about buying our baby the big items he will need.
Now - I am due in 7 weeks. She hasn't bought any of these 'big' items.
I have bought a stroller - nothing special - I got it on clearance - $40 - something we can use next summer - when he won't need to be in the carrier.
I bought a swing - I love this swing - it turns into a toddler chair. I love the print as well - something you can only buy at Target (or so I have heard). I got this for $10 - regularly $100 - I used gift cards.
Also last night - I found a crib at Target on clearance for $80. I couldn't turn it down. I mean come one $80!!
Anyway - being she said she wanted to buy everything - am I stepping on toes here? Should I not be buying stuff?
She is on vaction out of the country until early Sept. I am due end of Sept.
Plus she only wants to buy stuff at Walmart - she works there - gets a discount. And to be honest.... the selection at our Walmart is pretty lame.
Again - Am I being rude buying things? I am in the nesting stage and I really want to be ready for my little guy.
Also - and other 'big' items I can tell her to get us?
I know we will need a
crib mattress
baby monitor
high chair (for down the road)
travel system stroller
Also - while I am here do you like the crib and swing I got?

I ended up getting the swing for $10.
Sorry - if you actually read this thanks. I know it was random babbling and random questions!
