Nursery

Same with me, babies gunna be in a cot in the same room as us, moved into this house 4 months ago and the babies room is jam packed with unpacked moving boxes and baby things 😂 Itll get sorted when I start selling and sort through things, planning to get nursery done by time shes 4months at least 😅

Glad I’m not alone as was beginning to think “am I being too laid back?” 😂🤷🏽‍♀️ But I don’t see what the frantic mad dash/panic is all about as got plenty of time to sort.

Mine was more the time i had off work as I'm a teacher so I did it in the summer holidays when I had 2nd trimester energy too! Now 32 weeks and just exhausted permanently so couldn't do anything now 🤣

Nursery isn’t complete … yet but it very nearly is! I know logically baby won’t use it yet but it’s been part of the getting ready process for my brain.

We don't even have a proper spare room, baby will be in our room - next to me for the first 6 months, probs further in the room for the next 6 months while we find a bigger place. We have to make do with the space we have and I promise you the baby does not give a shit about having a room until like, 2 years old? Especially first year baby needs /wants to be as close to you as possible anyway

I would say that if you don't do it now, you probably won't do it like you actually want it when the baby is here. You'll just make do with whatever. It's obviously not a necessity in any way but I definitely wouldn't have put the effort in after baby had arrived lol

Nursery was complete for my first. It was nice to have but not necessary as she was in our room for the first 9 months. On the other hand, I can’t imagine having as much energy to do it as lovely after she was here. 😅 For this baby, unfortunately no nursery just because we’re rearranging the house a bit but if I had the extra room I probably would have done it again.

Wanna swap partners?Lol mine is a builder and I still have to beg to sort it since baby is due in 9 weeks and the house is full of boxes and baby’s clothes all over the place not prepared nighttime for my ocd

We figured we wanted to do it before the baby came because we probably won't have the energy after, so we put it up at 30 weeks.

Nursery is almost complete. Baby will obviously be in with us over night for the first 6 months but we wanted her to have her own space set up already with all of her stuff in its own home. We’re not sure we’d have the time or energy to do it when she was here and certainly didn’t want to be painting with a baby in the house. We also want to incorporate it into her routine from the start such as getting ready for bed on her room after her bath

You absolutely will not have the energy or motivation to do it when baby is 4,6,9 months old. Way better to do it now!!

First pregnancy, it was done by 26 weeks including clothes washed and draws ready by 30 weeks. This time next to me will get washed at some point in January and not gonna stress about a cot until at least March 😂😂

Side note the baby will go in with the toddler so furniture and what not is already in use. Babies draw is clear and ready to be filled though 😂

To those assuming I’ll be decorating, to advise decorating was done a year ago (colour scheme is not changing). New carpets already fitted, & wardrobes are in. It’s literally just putting up 2 x cots, & making it “pretty”, more nursery like, which isn’t a big task. That is why I’m not stressing lol. Had none of that been done, then yes I’d be in full panic mode! 🙃☺️

@Sophie see above post ☺️

The baby sleeps with us for the first 6-8 months. No need to rush the nursery imo

Not doing much for at least 6 months. Our family will be coming to stay on and off for the next few months and baby will be in our room. I’ve washed all the clothes, muslins, cot bedding and got some storage together for in our room but that’s it.

Haven't even started 🙈 I am going to sort a space in the room for her wardrobe but other than that I'll decorate and put the cot ect up once she's here. But that's only because I'm very lucky that my partner gets 13 weeks paternity

My in laws are desperate to pain my nursery, which started out as a lovely gesture, but 4 weeks later and I still can’t move any furniture in or start any kind of sorting, it’s feel like a bit of a curse 🫠 they won’t let anyone else help and I get the feeling they think it’s fine because I’ve got 10 weeks to go, but what they’re not understanding is that I can do very little until they room is ready because I have nowhere to put anything!
