So TB is slow today and I am bored. I mentioned in a reply yesterday I keep having nesting thoughts but I have no motivation to do anything and I think it's because I am the type of person who gets things done when I have EVERYTHING and well, obviously, I don't have everything.
What do you have for baby already?
I have the crib, bedding, skirt, bumper, changing table, a cube shelf, and a ton of clothes. I have also made her name in wooden letters and have started making the mobile.
Re: What do you have?
I have an empty room with a changing table in a box. A crib on order. A diaper bag (thanks coach outlet) and one baby outfit.
Thats it.
I feel so behind but don't really know where to start.
I have pretty much nothing. Three onesies, a pair of footie pajamas, and a sleeper. Oh, and some fuzzy booties. That's about it! And my parents got us a rolling drawer thingie and I've allocated it for baby stuff.
I'm not stressing out. We won't have a nursery when baby comes, so we will most likely just have a pack n play in my room. No need for extra furniture or to decorate. Makes my life easier in that regard even though life in general isn't easy right now. lol.
I have a crapload of clothes that were given to me, all in garbage bags in the basement to be washed first, crib in the basement, uhh and random other things that i have been stashing down there until we find out if we are moving before or after baby comes. ughhhh
We are lucky to have all the things from Bella! Now I just need to get started on sortung clothes to see what I'll be able to use with Eliza, conisdering Bella was born at the end of August and Eliza will be end of March/early April.
We did decide to get new bedding, which I need to decide on. but all the major things (stroller,carseat,etc.) we have already.
Nursery is done (decor, bedding, glider w/ ottoman, dresser, changer, crib), except for a few final touches (having blinds installed throughout the house on Tuesday, and I still want to do a decal border).
I bought a really nice diaper bag on Black Friday.
Registry is done.
Shower planning is underway.
We are registered for childbirth prep classes in February.
I'm feeling pretty well organized and it feels good.
Waiting for our Miracle Baby, Carly Marie, Due April 24, 2013!
Oh! She also got some Paul Mitchell baby shampoo/conditioner for Christmas from my stepmom a hair dresser and baby sizes Snookie slippers with a matching blanket from my SIL. lol

Hey, pretty girl, it feels so right,
All wrapped up in my arms so tight
Hey, pretty girl, it feels so right
Life's a long and winding ride
Better have the right one by your side
And happiness don't drag its feet
Time moves faster than you think
To summarize: odds and ends. Mostly toys and clothes, but no furniture or anything big yet.
Same here. Nothing other than a couple outfits, socks, a grocery cart cover thingie, and some hats. We are moving in July, so we aren't putting a nursery together until we move, so we will just use the pack and play or bassinet until we move out.
I decided last night that DS is going to give up his crib. So I'm looking at toddler beds on Craigslist. Found one for 30 bucks with a mattress. If it's still there, it's MINE!
After that, DSs stuff is still plenty good for Mini. So we don't need anything else.
We have all the nursery furniture (and have it assembled), bedding has been ordered, and a friend gave us a TON of clothes. Those are washed and sorted by size. Once the bedding gets here we can decide on paint color (want it to match). I feel like we are behind...which is something that I never am but hubby said we should just wait until after baby showers to buy anything else.
I am register for all the classes I want to take, so that is knocked out as well. I am hoping for smooth sailing from here forward.
Three more months to go and things are slowly coming together!
I have exactly 3 outfits (all size 6 months), 1 pack of diapers (also too big for newborn), and a "nursery" full of my crap.

I have most everything from DS, but he's still in his crib
We need to get him his big boy bed and bedding, then move the crib into our room and move a whole bunch of other stuff around. I need to go through the baby clothes to see what can be reused for DD and get some storage bins to try to make due without a new dresser for DD until we can sell our house and rent a 3 bedroom closer to work and daycare.
Basically, I haven't done anything for this LO yet.
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
Eerrrrr......a highchair lol, a bathtub, a playpen (oh "playard"), some clothes, binkies, and bibs. Oh and a lamp haha, a really awesome lamp I've been wanting from hobby lobby that I finally caught on the 50% off sale today. That is it. Supposed to be ordering the crib the first week of January and we are finishing painting in a few days.
I've got a crib put together, a bunch of random hand me down (awesome) clothes (0-18 mos), a changing table/dresser, a car seat, a bathtub, a rocker, and a side table with baskets for late night nursing/storage
But no crib mattress... no sheets... no bumpers... nothing else.
We are painting tomorrow.
I'm due in 3 months from tomorrow. So.... I'm feeling pretty behind
