I'm 29 weeks and people keep asking me if the baby's room is ready!! Aack! No I haven't finished emptying out the room, haven't painted, the crib is still at my mom's, and...and...and....lol! I feel accomplished because the room is ALMOST cleared out and I have the paint & supplies in my basement. Just curious when people set up or are setting up their baby's room.
Re: Is your nursery set up already?
Mine is mostly done, but I am not working. ?I will finish it up after the second shower, which is next weekend.
It won't take very long, if you at least have the furniture ordered and a mental picture of what you want. ?We did most of it in one weekend and I have been adding handmade items here and there.?
We aren't done with it, but we are almost there...
I'm more behind than you are!! We have the walls painted but not the trim. My MIL bought the crib today, but it's still at her house (1.5 hrs away) Ditto on my cradle (from when I was a baby) that is at my mom's house. The bedding hasn't been made because my mom is making it and we haven't set up the crib yet to know how long the skirt needs to be. I haven't even found material yet for curtains that I like.
If the baby comes today (which it could, I'm at risk for PTL) we have a glider and a car seat that hasn't yet been installed.
Nopo! It's half painted and we have no furniture. Friday I am starting my maternity leave so I will finishit then.
No worries. I have everything setup but I'm still waiting to receive the final wall art to hang. I need to clean it up since I put a bunch of furniture together in the room. I also need to get things a little more organized. We didn't have to paint the room though so it didn't take long.
Take a breath and relax...it'll all come together!
not at all! we moved two weeks ago, and it is painted, but right now is storing lots of extra boxes that need to be unpacked (and you'll note i'm on the bump right now instead of unpacking). also, our furniture is backordered and we aren't getting that until i'm ~35-36 weeks (i ordered it at 22 weeks!), so i'm just forcing myself not to freak out. i have my shower in two weeks, so i'm hoping to have it cleared out by then!
All I have done is the crib. We need to pick up our dresser and rocker/glider from the furniture store sometime soon (it's there but we need an SUV from a friend to get it). I don't even know what I'm buying to put on the walls yet, but we have been planning a monkey theme.
I bought some fabric from Hobby Lobby the other day to potentially make a bed skirt, but I'm not even sure if that's what I'm going to do with the fabric or if I'm going to buy the $110 bedding set. You're not alone!
We added a 2nd level to our house, which is just coming together now. DH finished installing the carpet in the nursery today, and we will be putting together the crib and glider at the beginning of next week. The builder will be here on Monday to install the wall/window casings and the electricians will also be here on Tuesday to do the electricity upstairs.
Things are finally coming together, and it's been really difficult to be patient, but ya' do whatcha' gotta do.

mine is done ... I just have to put things on the walls
I am still in the process of cleaning out the room. We already painted the walls, but I need to get everything out...
I figured if I have it cleaned out by July 19th I will be happy. That's the 10 week mark for ordering our furniture. Although we still have no idea when the furniture will arive. I want the room to be ready when it comes
After that I will get anal organizing things
Yes, it's been done since around 26ish weeks.
DH took the painting on himself and got it done much earlier than I expected. It came together very quickly after that was done!
"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
well we JUST started- dh just finished painting yesterday- we have the floor guys coming tomorrow to refinish our wood floors- that will take up the rest of this week - so next week, hopefully we will be able to get the furniture put together (its currently in their boxes, piled in our living room)...
then i just need to put the crap thats sitting in my living room (baby supplies, clothes, etc) in the room- i have the blinds picked out and dh will need to hang them with the valances and i want to get a closet organizer still..
so my goal is to be done by 38 weeks! to me, it's cutting it close- i know plenty of ppl think its plenty of time but when you can be induced any day, its a lil nerving- plus i am such a planner and organizer and i enjoy this- and i feel like it was taken away from me- i would want to play in there longer!
haven't even remotely started. Crib is at moms and we dont have any furniture yet, aside from the changing table which is currently collecting dust in the attic.
there is still plenty of time...I hope
Yep! ?Everything is painted, all the furniture is in now, and we just hung pictures up on the wall. ?It's pretty much finished...i just need to organize the closet a little bit better...?
