Baby Gear Dilemma

With each of our girls we were so blessed to receive all the items we needed, and as our children grew out of those things, we passed them on to others in need. Over the years I have been able to pass on cribs, bassinets, pack n plays, swings, high chairs, car seats, strollers, clothes, boxes of diapers, etc. It is a wonderful feeling to know they are going to a family welcoming a new child into the world, one who needs the kindness of strangers. That leaves me in a pickle. With my youngest being four, I've passed forward all of our baby and toddler gear to people who could use it. So now, it's my turn to take a spin around the block again. Because we will be moving shortly before this baby is born, I hesitate to buy anything right now. But I am setting aside the funds to do so. At the same time, I don't want to wait til the last minute, have this little sprout early, and not have anything ready. What's an expectant mother to do? Do I buy the stuff now and have it all shipped to the new house, or do I store it in the walk-in closet until we move? Or do I just wait until after we move? Oh the choices.
