Question of the Day - Friday 8/7/15

vcollings

Since I'm new here and don't know you all very well, I thought it might be fun to do a question of the day.  It would allow us to get to know one another and hopefully distract us for a few moments from TTC or pregnancy that's always on my mind. (Hopefully I'm not alone here).  

If you are game, here's today's question:  How would you like to spend a rainy day?

My rainy day activites would include a good book, netflix and crafting.

Qotd- Are yall already buying baby stuff, decorating a nursery, etc? Does it make it easy and motivate you or does it depress you?

RikkiJean2389

We have not bought any baby stuff yet. Simply bc TTC costs so much we have nothing extra right now, and I refuse to rack up a credit card to do it. My in laws bought TONS of stuff before hand, down to diapers.

We have some baby stuff that I've collected through the years.  Cute onsies that I can't live without, a special blanket made by grandparents, etc.

I've not purchased any big baby thing or decorated a nursery yet.  I think it would make it too hard for me.

We have a few small things (like onsies, blankets, toys) that were on sale and we couldn't live without. We did just order the over the crib wall decoration lol it was perfect, handmade, and will be great for a boy or girl. The way we planned on budgeting for a baby was to make small purchases along the way. I won't get any maternity leave (and will need to go back asap!) so we don't want to have all of the expenses build up at the same time I am preparing to be off work. I feel a little crazy because this is our first try and I'm already wanting to go buy furniture- whew, baby fever over here!

We didn't buy baby stuff until after I conceived. The first thing was a stuffed animal we bought on a little trip we took to Canada. Now we have a crib, dresser, clothing, etc, but none is put together and our nursery still stores our junk. I'm 28 weeks so we need to get the ball rolling!

We also love games! My wife and I like rummikub and skipbo.

I live in Seattle, wa.
