if you already know your baby's gender i would say go for it. But sometimes its best to wait a little longer, only not to jinx yourself. My first pregnancy i found out it was a boy and immediately begin buying things. I had a miscarriage right after :o( even though my doctor said wait til 5 months to start shopping, i was going into my 6th month!!!
Its ok to buy now... I have the same problem. My family is so negiative they say it will jinx the baby and miscarry. Well we can't let that fear stress us out because that is not healty for the baby. Go and buy recieving blankets, and bottles, and whatever else your heart wants. bc im am 7 weeks with my 2nd child and I bought a 3pack of bottles and 2 gender netual onies. CONGRATS
If you'll have a shower, leave some stuff up to chance to receive as gifts (and, if you earmarked money for that, it's always a good time to start a college fund!). Otherwise, all I can tell you is when my husband and I found a sleeper that said "I like to ROAR" on it, complete with little dinosaur feet, we bought it. Didn't care that we'd just gotten the positive test the week before :)
