2nd Trimester

Aggravated--vent

I'm so tired of everyone telling me that October is so far away.  I do understand it is a couple of months away yet but by September/October am I really going to want to set up my nursery?  Probably not?  Why can't people quit telling me its too early to do this and that and leave me alone.  I want it done now people.  I think this nesting thing is setting in too early and getting me in trouble lol My mom and boyfriend are officially annoyed with me because I want to get the babies room done and start setting it up.  There is nothing wrong with that right?? 

To me October isn't that far away.  There is sooo much yet to be done and I work full time so on my days off I want to do things so i'm not rushing the last month but my boyfriend totally doesn't understand and gets upset with me when I ask him to move stuff. Ugh, I'm just going to punch him in his face! 

 Ok, thanks for "listening" to my crazy hormonal pregnant vent!  Hope all you ladies are having a wonderful evening!

    I feel the same way.  I don't want to be rushed I just want to do it in pieces and have it done awhile before I deliver.  If they are talking about waiting cause "something might happen" I wouldn't worry about it.  My mom was that way at first and now she calls and asks me if I did anything in the baby room that day.  The babies will be here before we know it even if to other people it seems like forever.

  • I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND!

    My nesting has been in over-drive and this is my second child.  I KNOW that we have plenty of time, especially since DD will be sleeping in a PnP for the first few months.  That being said I feel like we aren't doing anything to prepare at all and it is driving me crazy.

    I finally made a pact with DH that I wouldn't buy more than one baby related item a week just so I (meaning me making a purchase without his input) wouldn't go out of control.

    All I can say is good luck.  Smile

  • I completely understand what you mean, too. I am trying to get things rolling too. Mainly because I'm sure I'm not going to want to move much when it gets closer to October. And many pregnancy book dealies say that you should get the nursery prepared by the end of 2nd tri/early 3rd tri when you have energy left and aren't so pooped all the time. So, you're completely rational to me!

  • I'm so in your boat.

    I'm such a planner that it is a flaw I have and I recognize it. We just bought our crib, we received a pnp as a gift, and we are using the family cradle for the first few months so we do have some basics and that makes me feel a little better.

    BUT my friend who is spear heading my shower thinks that September is perfectly fine because he isn't supposed to be here until the middle of October. My response...true, but what if I don't get that breast pump, the bottles, blankets, sheets, etc that I need? DH isn't letting me buy a whole lot right now so I'm freaking on the supply standpoint. October isn't that far to me either so you are not alone.

  • It's NOT that far away.  Don't listen, people are annoying.  As far as I'm concerned, I am going to be huge in August and September when it's going to be so hot out and I'm not going to want to do ANY thing.  So I just started shopping and I intend to get everything done over the next few weeks, so I can do nothing the last few weeks while I'm uncomfortable.  Makes sense right?  And I DARE anyone to challenge me!  So don't worry about what people say, enjoy it!!
  • And this right here is why I love the bump! I love knowing I'm not alone! haha
  • I feel the same way. Everyone is like...um..I guess astounded that OCTOBER is so far away. It is not that far away. Only 16 weeks until my due date. I haven't wanted to be rushed either and have done it in pieces. As of last Sunday evening...it is done (we painted a small accent wall). I told DH that all we need now is the baby, but we can wait awhile for that! Do what you want and are comfortable with. My Mom had a SH!t fit when we set up the crib when I was 14 weeks. I don't want to be rushed at the last second. I want to be setting here relaxing when I am most uncomfortable. Same reason I asked for the shower to be before the baby's birth. I want to focus and get settled in with our new baby and being a family. I don't want to be running around trying to find places to put things when I could being taking a nap and tending to my husband and baby!
