Okay guys, I got my BFP approximately 36 hours ago and I'm pretty sure I'm losing my mind already. I already picked out nursery furniture, joined 737293 Facebook groups about baby wearing and cloth diaper B/S/T, and almost ordered a Moby Wrap online. Please tell me I'm not the only one losing my mind here?! How will I ever make it until February?

I most definitely did this with #1. It's much more subdued this time around due to the fact that we really have most everything we need already (and a lot of things we might need to buy depend on if we have a girl instead of a boy this time around).
I'm toying with the idea of creating a personal registry just for the completion coupons, but I'm not in a hurry.
It's amazing how much things change from one pregnancy to another!
ETA: Also, I love baby wearing and CDing, so if you want to pick my brain about anything, I'm happy to share my (albeit limited) experiences!
I'm baby crazy too! I've been filling up secret boards on Pinterest, making a registry (just for the completion coupon), talking baby names, looking at baby carriers (I didn't wear DS but I would like to do that with this one). There is a baby wearing group on fb that in part of and I want to buy all the carriers/wraps. I can't wait to shop! Even if we have another boy we will need all new clothes since this will be a winter baby versus a late summer baby. You are definitely not the only one!

I may or may not have been talking names with DH already for over a year. And I might have a few lists going on Amazon. One for stuff we'll need, and one for each nursery idea. I may have also purchased some maternity clothes.

I want to buy all the things, but I fear that if it doesn't work out, I would never be able to actually use those same clothes/toys/decorations. I'm weird. It's also easy to say this now, but it might be hard to pass up a good sale once I'm actually in front of it!
I also have the crazy wherein every little stomach ache or cramp or head pain or arm itch sends me to Dr. Google.
My google search history is just filled with "is it safe to ___________ while pregnant." I'm too embarrassed to tell you some of the ridiculous things that have crossed my mind, but it's bad.

Yeah right now I'm holding off buying anything until we know everything is okay, but baby names are definitely something we talked about before even getting a BFP
I'm fully on board with the crazy! I've got an Amazon list of things we need. I've been looking at nursery ideas as well as ideas for redecorating DS's room a bit to be more big kid.
So far I've only bought a few maternity pants because they were a steal (I'm all for taking advantage of good deals) and also a bottle of stretch oil to start using. With DS I used the Earth Mama Angel Baby stretch oil and loved it!

Good to know!! I will definitely want to pick your brain soon! ?

I'm really excited and oddly optimistic (I'm typically an anxious alarmist) but I'm still trying to guard my heart a little. I have pinned like crazy but haven't purchased anything yet.
We will pass a BRU on our way home from the dr. office, so I'm hoping that once we see a heartbeat I can convince DH to stop and buy a onesie or two
I also have the crazy wherein every little stomach ache or cramp or head pain or arm itch sends me to Dr. Google.
Dr. Google and I have spent way too much time together this week.
My search history includes, but is not limited to: "Is spotting during pregnancy normal" "Where to buy cloth diapers" "Best baby wearing carriers" "Caffeine intake while pregnant"
Well I'm having a fucking MELTDOWN because I can't find a short sleeve maxi dress with a stretchy empire waist to wear for monthly progression pictures. I've searched all of the internet and have gone to multiple stores in the city. I guess the new trend is for the waist to hit at your natural waist or a drop waist... but HELLO a baby will be there! Looks like I'll be shopping around town every evening this week...

Have you looked on ASOS (I got a dress there that I wore for maternity photos with DS) and Pink Blush maternity should for sure have a good stock of maxi dresses.

If you haven't yet check out Babywearing 102 on fb! I have learned so much the last few weeks!

I just bought one at target a couple of weeks ago. Not maternity, but it's loose and flows enough to use through pregnancy.
I would love to start buying some clothes but this is my first pregnancy and I have no idea when I will need them. You never know with St. Louis weather. I might need dresses, I might need sweaters.
Of course I didn't look at Target. THANK YOU. Now, which color do y'all think would look best? I'm fair skinned with brown hair and I'll be doing these against our chalkboard wall.... LOL

I'm also fair skinned with brown hair, and bought the black one last week.

Black always hides better so if you want to show off the bump as you go along, and next to a chalk board wall...I like the teal, personally.

I like the teal one too. I almost bought that one when I was getting the dress, but I also bought another dress at the same time that was mostly teal (BOGO half off!). So I got grey.

First pregnancy you probably won't start showing until about 20 weeks or later (so end of September/beginning of October for most of us). So maybe a month of possibly warm weather and then cold as fuck until the baby comes.
