1st Trimester

When do you plan on getting your crib, etc?

DH and I are planning on getting our furniture with our tax return, but I really feel like that is going to be early. I'm curious to see when everyone else plans on getting their furniture?

Re: When do you plan on getting your crib, etc?

  • I think sometime after we figure out if it's a boy or girl, so sometime after 20 weeks I think.

    I want it NOW though!!! (=

  • I've already looked at furniture and know what I want but we're going to put it on our registry and then either some family members will go in together and get it for us or at least we'll get the post-registry discount to use if no one does.

  • I already have mine picked out. I want to wait to buy it though. In case I find a great deal.
  • Probably not until the middle of 2nd tri? Havent really thought about it too much. I do already have my glider. My awesome aunt ordered me a glider when she found out I was pregnant.

    I know what you mean. I want mine NOW too (just think you are further along than I am). We have the furniture picked out, but not the bedding, etc.

  • i might get one this week.  my husband noticed in the sunday ads that one of the cribs we liked was on sale.  it's a little early, but saving $300 would be nice.

  • I'm already registering for my faves so when I'm ready my list will be done but the actual shopping will start around the 5th month.
  • After we've finished painting and getting everything else completely done with the baby's room. Probably not until 3rd tri. I don't want to have to pack it away and then unpack it again when we're ready for it. Also we'll probably have the baby sleep in the room with us for the first few months so I don't feel the need to rush into a crib.

  • We have the money in the bank right now for the furniture but we are waiting until we get to the second trimester. Just in case.

  • I might wait and see what all I get at baby showers (if I get gift cards, that will help me decide where to buy one) unless I find one thats in good condition at a yard sale or on Craig's list.  Some good advice I was given..."If you see something at a yard sale or really cheap at a store, and you know you will want it, get it...don't worry how far along.  Nothing you buy will jynx your baby!".  I am looking forward to shopping the spring yard sales!

  • Craigslist!! I found one on there 2 years old that was $700 they're selling it for $200!!  Lots of great deals on things that don't have to be brand new!
  • probably about half way through my second tri.  We are getting furniture from my parents  They bought and entire nursery full when my sister had twins and lived with them for a few months.  It was used for a couple months and doesn't have a scratch on it.  So we are getting the crib, changing table and dresser from them. 
  • I think we got DS's crib when I was about 5 months pregnant.

    I went out of town a couple weeks ago and returned to find that DH had put the crib back up! I was 7 weeks pg. LOL

  • I was initially planning to wait until around 5 months, but juust bought mine this past weekend (at 12 weeks). I found out the furniture I had my heart set on was being discontinued so I bought it, and got a pretty good price (saved $500 on the set).  It arrives in about 4 weeks and we will likely store it away until the nursery is done.
  • We actually all ready have ours!! It's a kinda funny story behind it. DH and I started TTC in late summer/early fall and both our parents knew we were TTC. My Mom is a nurse in my hometown, and one day while she was at work a woman that she works with was talking about her daughter and how they had bought a crib for their baby but then her DH's grandmother had also bought them one on a recent visit. I guess the grandmother was from far away and hadn't realized they all ready had one. So she was looking to sell the one they had bought because they wanted to keep the one that the grandmother bought for sentimental reasons. So, she sold it to my Mom for $100! My Mom said it could be considered an early baby present!! *lol* So we now have a cherry crib that also turns into a toddler bed!! And now we'll actually be able to use it!!
