2nd Trimester
Ugh. Nursery Decor Board
Just went there and there are lots of people who are only a week or two ahead of me who have the nursery completely done!
I'm sure I shouldn't be comparing my progress to others but really can't help it! LOL. Someone please tell me that you haven't gotten jack done?
We've painted. I have the glider, I have the crib (but not yet together), crib bedding. Bought a bouncer and a boppy and a ton of clothes. Oh, I got a night light.
Feel SO behind and also soooo uncreative when looking at how adorable some of these people have made their nurseries!

Re: Ugh. Nursery Decor Board
We have furniture. It's assembled and in place. That's it
I do have to say though we are not going as "all out" as some of the rooms I've seen on that board. Baby is in our room. He has his own little space (our room is HUGE) with his crib, dresser, glider and I'm looking at getting a book case soon.
I'm sure this will help you
I'm 27 weeks and the room that will be the nursery has not had jack done to it. It's still our storage unit for MIL's stuff. Don't worry about what the other ladies have done. Some people just have WAY too much time on their hands. Trust me, I've had those types of people tell me "you better hurry up the baby will be here soon", yes that's true, but he wont' be active for a while and that's what bassinets are for.
You are only 19 weeks....I would say you are the average pregnant lady when it comes to getting the nursery done.
While I definitely recommend you take advantage of that wonderous 2nd trimester burst of energy, I won't fault you for not having the nursery completely finished.
Haha well I have you beat! I don't even have a room for my baby boy... We are looking for a new house in Chicago so yea
I do have the theme planned out with all the details so as soon as we get our new house I'll get started!!
I still have nothing done or bought for that matter. Other people are buying our big ticket items for us so we have to wait. Plus we are just buying a new house now so I may have to wait another couple month depending on the closing dates!!
I'm sure your nursery will be just as cute and adrorable as the others when its all said and done!!

We haven't done ANYTHING yet!
?
No painting, no furniture, nothing!
I am waiting until after the shower, which isn't until Nov, because that's when I'll have the bedding. We will have a the crib soon. But we won't be putting it together until we are ready to set up the whole nursery.
We may paint soon... but we'll see. Its tempting to wait until Thanksgiving break, so we have time to do it over a long weekend.
So don't stress!!!!!!?
Yeah, I'm not going to have any of that done by 20 weeks.
We're trying to find new jobs/move, so I just don't see the point in getting a nursery set up in our current place when we're not planning on staying. Heck, I haven't even bought anything yet.

I have ripped up the carpet but otherwise have done nothing. No painting, no furniture, no nothing.
I think I might have chosen a colour scheme but that is it.
ummm, I have the paint picked out....I have the crib set up and the bedding in it (though its there just for show, I still need it washed)....yup, thats it...
We have to rip up half the floor and replace it from pet damage. Painting soon. Need to paint the new trim and then put it up. We are adding a chair railing for accent so I need to paint that and put that up. Otherwise, still working on all the decor plus I haven't ordered the carpet to get that bound into a rug yet...ugh...The trim and painting is what I desperately want done! Then I can worry about the decor I suppose. My glider is at my gma's house (I've had this since HS so not new...just waiting for its space to open back up...).
This. The only baby items we have (3 onesies, 3 bibs) are in a Target bag, hanging on the doorknob of our junk closet. I'm sitting in my "nursery" right now!
Kim, just to make you feel better I'll give you a little peek at the disaster zone that will be our nursery:
It looks worse in pictures, but I am slowly getting the mountain of clothes and junk sorted through (read: thrown out). The dresser, armoir, and desktop computer will be staying in the room, but everything else will be getting taken out/down. So I'm pretty much at square one. I didn't plan on getting everything done until late Dec - early Jan.
LOL. Thank you, Madame Primm!
Here's what I've done:
1. Gotten knocked-up
2. Freaked out
3. Started basement remodel to make bedrooms.
LOL ... we have quite a ways to go.
We're not even buying furniture until close to Christmas - or after.
PHOTOS REMOVED
When I was pregnant with my DD I didn't even order the furniture until I was about 20 weeks...and it didn't arrive until I was 36 weeks pregnant. So no, you are not behind LOL.
We got things done at varying times. My DD was due in May of 08. We painted Thanksgiving weekend of 07, ordered the glider in December and picked it up in January. Hung chair rail in January as well.
After that we didn't do anything until the furniture came, because I couldn't hang things on the wall until the furniture was there. I had measured, but didn't want to put holes in the wall until I had the furniture in it's place. So her nursery wasn't done until about a month before she was born.
