So our friend has just had a baby girl so nipped to get a present. How hard that was!! Really difficult trying to remember it's just an outfit and not to get emotional about thinking of having it not having our own baby
Shopping for baby clothes for my frie... - Fertility Network UK
Shopping for baby clothes for my friends baby πͺ
When my friend recently had a baby I bought a next voucher and flowers easier option as i couldnt face baby clothes xx
Me too!
Totally understand with the shopping for friends/family babies. I'm now hoping all my friends and sisters are done having babies and hopefully be my turn next fingers crossed π€
Xx
Not the easiest of things to shop for xx
Been there π So many beautiful little outfits and they draw you in deeper and deeper and next thing you know you're stood there crying in the shop. X
I remember one Christmas doing exactly that and having to leave the shop!
I wasn't buying for a friend this time but just before my bfp I got sucked into the baby's clothing department at M&S while waiting for my Mum in the loos. I saw a beautiful little white fluffy coat. I'm a sucker for fluffy things, I love how they feel! So I'm stood there stroking this little coat, a tear rolling down my face and I promise my embie that if it's still in there it's having that coat! The next day was test day and I got my bfp. I've also got that coat π x
Ah love it! I've bought my pram/ pushchair already (even though it's earlyish) and stored it at the mother in laws. I think it's important we focus on the end goal after waiting for so long xx
well done you for getting through that. Better than I once did and once had a total utter meltdown in the middle of Babies r us! Keep the faith, stay strong xx
I feel your pain. I had to buy a pressie in November just a month after our 2nd MC. My best friend is due next week and this would have been our due date also.....so I think I will take advice and send flowers with vouchers x
It is hard. A few tears ago when not having problems ttc I used to love going and choosing from all the cute wee outfits for presents for people but I never do it anymore. Too painful. I wish I could be ok with this stuff and put it to the side but I'm really not. One of the hardest things about this is what I miss out on and not being able to be fully there for friends. It sucks!!! Xx
It's so hard isn't it... I have had meltdowns in the car before now after shopping for baby clothes.... you will get there one day and then you'll have all the people that love you buying nice things for you and your little one xxxx
Arr I know its so hard sometimes and also unavoidable when a new baby arrives xxx
Totally get it!! I used to love buying clothes for my friends kids but can't do it any more xxx
