Anyone NOT want to buy nursery stuff yet?

Kristin131 · January 2011

Don't get me wrong, I spend at least an hour a day looking at idea sites and dreaming it up, but I don't even want to start really thinking about it until I at least know boy/girl. Maybe it's bc I don't want to get my hopes up too much for a girl. Plus I really don't feel like storing all the stuff yet, and we are converting the guest room into the nursery so we'd like to use that as long as we can as is.

And then I feel like I should "spruce up" DS's room, and that's where I stop and think I'm getting too much into this....

Right now our nursery is my husband's disgustingly messy man cave/office. I won't be able to think clearly until I can get every inch of this house reorganized and cleaned up! (yea it's been neglected for almost 3 months because I've been a couch zombie!!!!) I like things to be simplified and organized...otherwise I freak! Stick out tongue

I can't wait to start on it...but there are things that have to happen first!

I don't want to/can't buy new stuff until we move. There's nowhere for me to store anything new right now.

My friend you are not alone... I actually have both two things since our BFP... I also want to wait for the sex of the baby and then base anything on that... We are converting DS existing bedroom set back to a crib and buying him a new set, so I guess that is also holding us up... but just like you I spend I think atleast 1 hour clicking away on the web getting ideas, I even have gone far to copy and paste things I like into a word file, lol...

I have not bought a thing and have not started looking! I am waiting until my first ultrasound to do anything like that, guess im just a nervous nelly! I feel fine waiting, this is my first child and if i take it slow i hopefully wont go overboard!

Stormy101 · January 2011

Me. We probably won't start looking until late 2nd tri.

COMomma81 · January 2011

I'm not even planning on doing a nursery. I plan to keep the baby in our room at least 6 months, probably longer if he/she is anything like my son. Then, we think they'll just share a room (at least for a while and 'til my son is old enough to go downstairs, which will be in about 3 years). I'm thinking of doing a Dr. Seuss theme, because it is pretty gender-neutral and ages pretty well through childhood. That said though, I don't even plan on starting on this until well after the baby is here and likely around a year old.

We spent a fortune on my son's nursery that never got used! Not doing that again

I probably won't purchase anything for the nursery until after the anatomy scan. I have two cribs picked out that I like but will hold off on purchasing them.

LOL I have a whole folder devoted to this

I almost wrote a post about this topic this morning. I feel like I am the only one on here who hasn't bought a single baby item yet. Trust me, I am excited and can't wait (and I look at baby stuff online all the time), but the only thing I've bought is a bella band, which is technically for me.

We are going to wait until after the 19 week anatomy scan. Plus, with all the bleeding and spotting I have been having, I am still super nervous.

MuseumMaven · January 2011

We just moved into a new house - I want to get the rest of the rooms put together and furnished before we start on the nursery. Right now it's the storage room for empty boxes!

LnR70707 · January 2011

As our first baby we will be doing gender neutral pretty much all the way and even then I'm not ready to buy any big nursery items. We probably won't really start looking to buy until late February.

MamaMayhem · January 2011

We're going to keep niblet in our room until they are STTN and then the babies will share a room. We have a 3 bedroom house but since we're planning on renting it out in the next year, it doesn't make sense to separate them. They'll be 18 months apart so it should be fine for now.

I haven't bought anything yet for this baby either. I still feel nervous after our m/c in June so we're just hanging tight and enjoying this pg. We feel blessed beyond measure that we are pregnant again and lo is doing great, but we also want to be realistic since things can go downhill at anytime. My thought is that I'd rather put a nursery together at the last minute than have to tear it down, if God forbid something happened. I don't think I could handle that. Now, that being said, I do look/dream/research nursery ideas and baby items but that's about it. I do enjoy/appreciate the PSA's that posters write about since I get an idea of how much things cost and what amount we need to alot for baby stuff. We'll probably start buying items in earnest around 25 weeks.

We are not buying anything until we find out the sex.

FordFalcor · January 2011

We are waiting to find out the sex too. After the u/s, we're going to Target to do some purchasing and daydreaming!

As for nursery stuff, baby is going to room with us for at least 6 months. Our house is awaiting another addition and I'm not banking on it being completed before baby gets here. Sometimes I get sad thinking about not having a nursery, but then I realize that we're saving money now that can be used for decorating an insanely cute toddler room.

girl-23 · January 2011

Yeah, the only items we are getting are pack n play/bassinet which baby will use the first four or five months in our room, then the crib which will go in the nursery. We aren't buying these things til closer to third trimester.

DuncanD80 · January 2011

I have not considered anything for a nursery yet.. I'm amazed I know which spare room we are going to use:) I'm sure I will start looking when we know what we are going to have:)

We know we are moving in May, and we don't have a spare room in our current place, so I really can't deal with any big stuff just yet.

Me too Although I am going to have to buy it before we move. My lease is up Aug. 1st and we are planning to get a new place July 1st (EDD 7/18), so we only have to pay rent at two places for one month. Just the thought about moving that close t EDD makes me nervous. So I guess we'll be storing all the stuff in our living room til we move!! Holding off as long as possible.

sallydraper · January 2011

I don't want to buy anything until we've actually gone to some stores and actually seen cribs and other furniture. I look at things online and then get inertia...I think it's sensory overload. I'm weird like that. But overall, I don't think we'll be purchasing anything until after we find out the sex anyway.

Pooka8 · January 2011

DH is a bargain shopper. He's one of those guys who won't buy anything at retail if he can help it. Even though we haven't made any baby purchases yet, it looks like we'll be ordering the crib tonight (JCP). Because it's a style we both agree on and it's on closeout.

I still don't know what our living situation will be in July. We currently rent a house, and our lease is up at the end of June. We can get out sooner if the Air Force gives us new orders (a good possibility). Otherwise we will either stay here until after LO is born or get a different place right before I'm due.

Lizwsw · January 2011

I'm moving in May and the less I have to pack the better! I do *want* to buy stuff in theory but I don't want to move it.

maymaymia · January 2011

We are no where near ready to start even looking at nursery stuff. I have no idea when we will start looking but right now I just can't even think about looking at things.
