Anyone been thinking of nursery furniture?

I am just over 7 weeks and I have all the nursery furniture picked out, I managed to talk myself out of ordering it today. Since I really want to paint the nursery first and trying to wait for my ultrasound to determine sex since that will dictate if I can include purple or if I have to do green. But I don't know how long I can hold off at this rate.

Is anyone else picking out their furniture yet? Have you ordered it or when are you planning to buy? 

Re: Anyone been thinking of nursery furniture?

  • I have not bought anything. I'm to scared something will go wrong.. Then all have all this baby stuff.
  • Loading the player...
  • I've looked around and have an idea of what I like but I will wait until I'm further along to order anything.
  • I've picked out some things but haven't bought anything just because I'm a little anxious to do so too soon.
  • Ditto the others. Still way too early to order IMHO.
  • It is still way too early for me, although my MIL took me in to a baby store today and I saw a beautiful vintage gray crib that I fell in love with.  It was a little pricey but I guess seeing it so early gives me ample time to save up the money for it.

    way too early.
     
  • I've been looking, but haven't bought anything yet. I actually buy used furniture and re-finish it as a hobby. So I do have a change table, toy trunk. glider and book shelf I bought over a year ago that I just started working on yesterday. I'm going with white furniture!  I'm going to wait a couple more months to buy the crib, but I will keep my eyes open for good deals!

  • We've discussed what we are going to do, but haven't done anything proactive yet. We don't have much space and another crib would not work. We may get some kind of a bassinet for the time little surprise isn't mobile.

  • I've got some styles I like pinned to my secret baby pinterest board, but we won't even think about buying until at least the halfway point...

  • We will start in June at buying and decorating! I will be 12 weeks early June, plus we will be getting a company profit sharing check around that time too!

  • I also am, I have started buying little things like a container of wipes, the things that you go through so fast and can never have enough of! But I am scared to buy big things because I am a worry wart and dont want to have something go wrong :/
  • I have some ideas of what I want, but I haven't bought anything. I am about to start having the dresser I want to use as a changing table refinished.

     

  • Since I plan to move to NC to be closer to family I have already started my baby registry since I plan on having a baby shower for all my close friends in September. Then I will have another one for just family in November. With my being a FTM you can't help but to start shopping for something that's so exciting like having a baby!
  • This time around we have everything from DD so no shopping for furniture...although I LOVED that part. I am excited for decorating and cannot wait for the halfway point to find out the gender.

  • We have already got our crib and I have started looking for fabric to make the crib bedding. I also got the Moses basket that was mine as a baby and am starting to get it ready for baby. I am too excited not to get stuff and I just hate waiting til the last minute.
  • I haven't even started thinking about it yet! We are waiting a bit to hear if we get a 3 bedroom apt in the next while. I don't think we'll get it until after the baby comes, in which case I'll plan the new room but not be able to do much til we move.

  • My best friend is moving, so I'm getting all her 2 year olds nursery furniture that is basically brand new. I am so excited that I don't have to buy any!  The drawers are so shallow that most won't last with big kid clothes, so I'll pass them on to my sister when I'm done!

  • We've got all of the nursery furniture from DS1 and DS2 and won't be changing anything.

    I would've been way too nervous to order anything this early anyway though.

    We didn't order the crib until I was about 6 months pregnant with DS1.

    You do realize you can't throw your own baby shower, right? You only get one if someone throws one for you.

    I had 5 baby showers! My work friends, his work friends, church, my family, and his family. I had so much stuff, it was awesome!! You cant have to many showers if friends/family want to throw them for you. ;
  • As I admitted yesterday, I have a secret registry with no less than three cribs on it. I've narrowed down my choices and now I'm just waiting to go live with the news. 

    And about throwing your own shower: I have a friend who threw two for herself. She got friends to "host" them but it was all her. I think people were weirded out beforehand, but once we got there it was a normal baby shower and nobody cared.

    I don't have time or the inclination to throw myself a shower, though. To each her own. 

    I promise to never forget that this little dude deserves just as much love after the baby comes as he has now.

    Oh, and you have to share what you've picked out! No fair keeping us guessing. :)

  • I'll buy the furniture after our 20 week appt. I want to know if it is a boy or a girl first. My parents offered to give us a new crib and rocking chair as a gift to us for the baby so all we'll really need to worry about is the dresser/changing table. Personally, I would wait until after the first trimester at least. If something happened I would never be able to look at that furniture again.

    I don't understand the bolded. Its a baby, he or she will not be traumatized by the paint color. Paint what you like, what you feel comfortable in, don't worry about gender stereotypes.

    This. You would HAVE to do green if what? Is that boy or girl? Is purple a girl color? I'm confused.

    Our 'nursery' will be in our bedroom, I have sloped ceilings, so the little 'nook' area in our room where the ceiling slopes down will have a crib and a changing table to hold baskets of baby items. So...I guess our nursery is beige.

  • I've already been buying stuff, and I'm only 6w.

    But, it's all neutral-ish items I've been scoring at garage sales and thrift stores over the past weekend. Just onesies and sleepers and things we will need 1,000 of. I just can't pass up brand new looking items for .25-$1.

    Once I'm farther along, we'll start stockpiling laundry soap and wipes and some diapers, though I'm going to research cloth diapering and buying those as well.

    I haven't shopped at stores for new items, I'm trying to buy what I can secondhand. And my Dad is retired, but works part time at Toys R Us building all the bikes and baby stuff and swing sets, so he's on the lookout for a crib, he'll be able to score a floor model or a clearance one and get his work discount too!

  • Eh, we probably won't buy anything until a while after the baby is born. We'll have the baby in the pack n play in our room. By the time they move into their own room, my daughter will be out of the crib, so we'll just give the new baby the crib and my DD will get a toddler bed. I guess we'll buy a dresser though.
