MYOB!

So, people frustrate me. Reason being? My husband and I have pretty much completed our nursery. Yes, I know I am only 10 weeks and there's still risks. But here's WHY we've knocked it out so quickly.

1. My husband owned a business in town doing computer repair, and after we found out we were expecting he decided to move it home so he could be around more and get things done in the house and lift the burden from me. Our determined nursery was his current computer room, so in order for him to move the business home we needed to switch his computer stuff from the future nursery to the second bedroom... well, we didn't want to leave a mess and empty room so he painted. Neutral colors. We had carpet waiting to be installed by my stepdad from a long time ago, so before the painting got done, the carpet got moved in. Now we have a completed room, all nice and fresh paint/carpet and clean. And he has his computer shop moved completely home already set up in the second bedroom.

2. We were out shopping one day and came upon a crib/changing table that was HUGELY discounted, received 5 stars, and there was only 1 left. So we went for it.

3. Bedding. I was very specific in wanting a Snoopy themed nursery so with a lot of hard work, he found a very RARE set and had to jump on it.

I have people who are down my throat saying "WOW you didn't waste any time, what are people going to buy you guys now?" Umm car seats.... stroller... breast pump... etc. "Why the rush?" No rush. It's 10 degrees out, we honestly don't have anything else to look forward to right now so why not have these little weekend projects. "But aren't you worried something will happen?" Yes. It's a possibility. However, we WILL have a child one way or another one day. So our efforts are not going to waste.

Sorry. I just needed to vent. Sometimes I feel like people just need to mind their own business and let others do what they please. *exhale*

If people weren't being busy bodies about your nursery, believe me, they would find something else to give you their unsolicited opinion about. People like to get in pregnant ladies business. I almost bought DD a crib when I was in first tri at a serious discount, but it was on of those that converts to a double bed and the store couldn't find the rails to do that so I passed.

Hahaha I'm with you! People are so annoying. I have already told everyone friends and family that's "everyone has an opinion about everything, let me know when you find someone who wants to hear it... cause it's not me!" :
Be happy, don't let anyone stand in the way! This is supposed to be fun and exciting!!!

I'm sure you have a beautiful nursery set up for your child.

And yes, people need to mind their own damn business.

I agree, people generally annoy the crap out of me  

 People will always feel the need to butt into whatever you are doing. Like you said, you had a specific thing in mind and found it. You will use it no matter what so there is no harm in getting that. Your baby will need a crib and if you ran across one that was cheap and you liked, might as well grab that up. You just enjoy your new nursery and envision your baby in there! Let the other talk.

Agreed, don't worry what other people think.  Enjoy your nursery and preparing for babe.  Unfortunately, you'll probably find you'll get even more unsolicited advice once the baby comes!  Even from strangers in the store!

Yes, it's so annoying! I just had a lady come in to my office (who knows I'm expecting) and saw a coffee mug on my desk and goes "WHAT are you drinking?!" I was like "Hot chocolate?" "OH well.. just be careful!" *shakes head*

You should have told her it was a scotch since your rare steak and cigarette made you thirsty.

Why thank you for your concern ma'am, but I assure you it is only 1 part coffee and 9 parts alcohol. I was informed by my OB that excessive work day drinking is just perfect for a growing fetus.

Get used to it. Everyone has an opinion on everything once you get pregnant. It's annoying.

People are so annoying.  I am sure your nursery is lovely.  Good for you for getting it done now, so you can focus on the million other things coming up down the road!

Tell me about it, the lady who questioned my hot chocolate just came back to check out. I work in Physical Therapy and we do aquatherapy in a nice, heated pool. I asked how the water was today and she said "nice and warm!" and I said, "oh I am freezing, that would feel so good right now!" and she said "UH UH UH you cannot cook that little baby, no hot water for you!"

Listen lady. That water is no warmer than the showers I take.

It's my opinion that most people are just stupid and lack basic etiquette skills. I have a similar situation. I work from home and my current office space is where I have always wanted to have a nursery. But it needs some renovating first to get it ready.  So, I'm downsizing and moving my office into the guest BR. Well, I've already started cleaning it out, getting rid of file boxes etc.  My mom thinks I'm jumping the gun.  I know she's just afraid that if I have another loss it will be a constant reminder, but she doesn't understand that EVERYTHING is a constant reminder when you MC. I don't think the location of my desk or status of the nursery will help or hurt anything. 

Point being, do what makes you and DH feel good. To heck with the rest of them!
