Weekend Nursery/Baby Project Checkin!

SarahAndBen09 · February 2011

What baby-related projects is everyone working on this weekend? Getting the baby's room ready, crafts, shopping/registering, attending classes, etc.

Now that the nursery is officially emptied out, I am going to deep clean it. Then, we'll start moving furniture in: a chair/ottomon, bookshelf, and the crib, which needs to be put together.

We are also meeting with our parish priest tomorrow morning to discuss baptism.

SarahP15 · February 2011

We are organizing all the clothes we were just given and buying a mattress. After that, our nursery is pretty much set until the baby shower! We have painted, built all the furniture, organized it like we want, and now it'll just be set until the gifts start coming in and we have to organize and put all of them away!

SarahAndBen09 · February 2011

We started painting the nursery last weekend and still have more to do this weekend. Gotta finish up the walls and then paint inside the closet and trim.

Can't wait until this part is over! Then we'll be able to put the wall decal up and put the furniture in place.

Traveling about 1.5 hours away to shop for our LO. We're tired of the stores here where we live, so we're taking a mini road trip in the morning to a different mall with different variety!

CarlaAndJames · February 2011

I'm hosting a baby shower, so I'm guessing I won't have the energy to do a thing to baby girl's room!

flows912 · February 2011

We're hanging up the curtains in the baby's room. So far, his room is a mish-mosh of patterns and designs so hopefully it doesn't look too crazy!

slensic · February 2011

I was sick last weekend and didn't do anything baby related the weekend before so I am hoping to get back on track this weekend.

I am planning to finish the curtains and get them hung, I want to convince DH that he should actually secure the bookcase to the wall this weekend because then I can move the books onto it and I have DIY art project that I want to start working on.

ShandaB · February 2011

The only thing I know we're doing is putting together the rest of the furniture for the nursery. I was also thinking about getting the bedding even though it's on my registry.

niende89 · February 2011

We'll be getting rid of some of DS' unnecessary toys and then finally going through all of his baby stuff and getting rid of all of the boy stuff.

DuckDuckGoose123 · February 2011

Ours is painted and the furniture is assembled, and the mattress arrived last week. DH installed the blinds this week, so we're set with the big stuff! He'll be working on the artwork soon, and I've started looking for wall decals.

Heather16578 · February 2011

Well as im typing my have my FIL and a few others are laying hardwood floors upstairs in the room, and then this weekend I have to pick out paint colors. We already have the crib but it needs to be set up but we will do that after the room is painted. Oh Im also finishing my crocheted blanket my working on

Telly21182 · February 2011

Cleaning the basement that DH never got around too Sad

. We're registering next weekend so we'll pick out the paint color then when holding swatches to the bedding at BRU and then the real stuff begins!

jdubh · February 2011

I love the name Elizabeth Rose...soooo pretty!

LollyBug18 · February 2011

Thanks to yet another huge dumping of snow, I'm stuck in the house today and working on the nursery boarder which will be made up of animals like the ones below. So far I've added turtles and koalas to the collection today.

Tomorrow I'm thinking we'll move our kitty's litter box to it's new spot and scrub the hardwood floors in the baby's room. Then it will officially be nothing but a nursery!

pregarella · February 2011

Painting this weekend! Or at least starting to.....my husband's pet project is painting one of the walls in a chevron pattern that is going to take forever. So glad he doesn't hate me for making him do it!!

bestmaid6 · February 2011

I got the fabric swatches I ordered from Etsy last week and now have a few paint chips up (we are only painting one wall since it has several patches from removing a hanging shelf). My goal is to pick a color this weekend and get the room completely cleared out by the end of the month.

Those are cute! What are yours made out of? How are you making them?

markyslove · February 2011

We're purchasing the primer/paint for the nursery (painting next weekend) and we're having BIL/SIL/Niece over for dinner and seeing if their monitor has any feedback issues

Thanks! They're made with an electronic cutting machine called a Cricut. It has tons of different cartridges with all sorts of themes and fonts. They're just made of paper. Then we'll adhere them to the wall somehow. We're still not certain of how to do that though because we live in an old house with plaster walls and want to make sure they stick up there nice and secure.

kas80 · February 2011

We are attending the childbirth class at our hospital this weekend. All our baby stuff is in boxes/leaned against walls/down in the basement because we are trying to find a house to buy before she gets here. So, no nursery stuff for awhile.

bunnyc1246 · February 2011

Well DH is going to try and finish up painting the walls and the ceiling of the nursery before my family comes into town to visit! They wont be in till 9, so that give him plenty of time! Then the weekend after next we will be getting the carpet installed and registering on the 12th! Ill be soooo happy once the flooring gets put in, then i will be able to start the fun stuff like getting furniture put in, setting the bedding up and organizing his clothes and stuff! Yay i cant wait!

ikissedthecook · February 2011

My friend is finally moving out this weekend! As son as she's out, Sunday we are painting her room. When her room's finished, we can clear out the nursery but that will probably have to wait until next weekend. Other than that, we don't have a lot of other baby-related plans. I'm going to try to find time to register for prenatal classes this weekend.

bloominautumn · February 2011

We are going to Buy Buy Baby this weekend to order our glider (Best Chair Tryp) and start our registry. We'll probably start our BRU registry as well.

I'm ordering the crib today -- we're going with BabyMod Lily 4-in-1 convertible crib.

ahh. I'm a scrapbooker so I know of the Cricut! Hmm. I don't have any good ideas on how you could adhere them. The only thing I can think of is attaching them to something like a thin piece of wood and hanging that on the wall.

I just bought our bedding, even though it's on our registry. I'm keeping it there too - then if someone gets it for us, I can return the set that I bought. This way, though, if it's discontinued in the next couple of months, I still have it. Plus, I want to use it to go to the fabric store and pick out fabric to make curtains, so I need to have it on-hand, and our shower isn't going to be until late May, so I don't want to have to try and do crafts with a huge belly!

That was one idea we had, something like a chair rail. We also thought of trying to sand down the wall just where they'll go (but gave that a thumbs down) or trying to find a heavy duty wall paper paste. I'm hoping to get some good advice from somewhere like Sherwin-Williams.

LaRue86 · February 2011

Furniture was just delivered. Picked up a glider from a coworker this morning and am just waiting on DH to get home and add it to the nursery. Heading out to pick up the mattress out in a few. Need to decide what artwork i want and the nursery will be officially complete.

northtamarack · February 2011

Hopefully I will be able to finish the wall art that I started last weekend. I'll PIP it if I do.

cvl105 · February 2011

Not really baby related...but we have to gut the bathroom upstairs. The contractors start Monday putting in our new bathroom! Kinda baby related because she's the reason we're finally getting it done!

Awww...thank you! Definitely my favorite one! I couldn't even believe that was us when I first saw the proof online. haha

JuneBug0611 · February 2011

I like the new siggy pic too, Chelsea!

My baby-related tasks this weekend are attending Bradley class tomorrow morning, working to clear out the room we'll be using for the baby, starting a registry now that my ILs have set a date for my shower (and it's soon - April 10!), and maybe checking out a maternity consignment store because the clothes I bought at 9 weeks along just aren't cutting it anymore!

Sazhrah · February 2011

I will either sand down the dresser and toy chest or finish sewing all the cloth wipes.

Melissa2216 · February 2011

DH is finishing up the crown molding this weekend! I painted last weekend and we have all our furniture. I hate that I have to wait until April for my shower...I want to get everything set up NOW!

saunderslm2 · February 2011

Today I am scrubbing the walls and then spackling them. Hoping to paint next weekend.

Hopefully ripping out the ugly carpet that is in that room so MH can put in the hardwood (after he paints).

I got a glider last night from my ILs! and MIL said, 'This one will match the furniture that you are going to get' She has been talking to MH about the set we picked out, so I'm thrilled that we might not have to buy it!.. back to the glider, I want to put it together now! but it is safer in the back until the painting and flooring is done.boo.
