The nutshell: Fiance is going to boot camp in seven days. He will be gone almost 3 months. He will come home 10 days, then he is gone for 29 days. We are due the first week of December, and right now we are in a one bed room apartment. When he gets his orders on job training and where he will be stationed, we will obviously move.
My question is should I get the nursery stuff now? Should I go ahead and register for the items that will go in the nursery? Or should I wait till we move and just get the basics for now? Like a bassinet and just a few items. I am really torn on this because I like to be prepaired and plan ahead. And I hate to waste money on a bassinet when I know we will need a crib. But I don't want to have a tone of things to move or risk them getting broken in a big move. Maybe the nesting is just kicking in full gear now and driving me crazy! But any comments from expeirence would be wonderful.
Re: To Crib....Or NOT to Crib?
I would register for everything you need and wait to set up once you move. For 2 reasons your place is small and more improtantly no matter how hard you try stuff always gets damaged when you move it. So dont assemble the crib till you get to new your new place.
I am looking at one of these for the first couple months. It's a cosleeper but also converts to a small play pin which will come in handy for visits for grandma house when we move her to the crib.
