Soooo, I don't know if this is going to sound weird, but I am thinking about NOT doing a nursery for awhile. Like as in, have the baby, keep a bassinet by my bed, and months down the road put together a nursery. First of all, we don't have a lot of room in the house. My husband's office is where the baby room will be, but once we move it the office will be in the spare bedroom, which is fine, it will just be crowded. We still want a place for any family/friends who come to see us to crash. And we both use the home office for work. So we plan on keeping the spare bedroom and it would be nice to keep the office where it is for awhile.
I'm not sure if I see the point in putting together a room that the baby isn't going to use for awhile any way. That also saves us some money now (for furniture) that I can budget for a spread out over more months. We are also not finding out gender, so I thought it would be more fun to wait until the baby is home to pick out the stuff we want and make the room fit our kid more.
Thoughts?
DS slept in his own room from night one that we were home from the hospital. But, I know I'm not the norm
DD was in her own room from day one, too. But, I'd say do whatever works for you. That's basically been our mantra.
Did this work well for you guys? I plan on doing that with this baby because our nursery is adjoined to our room and we don't have much space for a bassinet in our room.
It really did. We were across the hall from the nursery and had a video monitor. And we didn't have to deal with transitioning DD to her bed later on.
