Most of it is antique stuff bought at acutions, that my mom refinished for us. We've also got a stroller, and infant car seat, I've bought a few outfits here and there that I found on sale, but other than that, we have nothing else. I'm trying to hold out until the baby shower, and then we'll buy what we don't get there.</p> <p>So I guess basically my to-do list consists of having the baby shower and going from there. Oh, and I'm 29 weeks. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-bees-whats-on-your-to-do-list#post-63079 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:25:37 +0000 MegWag 63079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35 weeks and our nursery isn't anywhere near done. Our crib is on order, but there's a crap load of stuff to move out of the room still!<br /> I'm not too stressed about it, but I'm getting anxious about finding a dresser. I know everything will come together easily once I've got all the pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-bees-whats-on-your-to-do-list#post-63066 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:05:36 +0000 Navy_Mommy 63066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and as for my actual to-do list, right now I'm focusing on putting the nursery together, I have to wash and organize all the clothes I have, and I have to prep my cloth diapers!</p> <p>My current project is stenciling the lampshade for the nursery. Not a super involved project but since I'm overlapping different colors I have to let one color dry completely before I move on to the next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-bees-whats-on-your-to-do-list#post-63063 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:03:19 +0000 Navy_Mommy 63063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm, I'm 30 weeks and I've been buying stuff for a while mainly because I didn't want to have to spend ALL that money all at once. Things I do have:</p> <p>All my nursery furniture - Crib (bought used), dresser/changing table (bought used), glider (gift from my Dad), mattress, bedding, etc. Basically I have everything I need for my nursery, it just isn't put together yet (actually just posted about this on my blog today).<br /> MORE THAN ENOUGH CLOTHES for up to 9 months. A lot was bought used, a lot was purchased from Marshall's/Ross on clearance.<br /> Swing, bouncer, bassinet - all bought used<br /> Baby bath tub - bought used<br /> Moby wrap - bought on sale (after Christmas)<br /> Plenty of swaddles and blankets (swaddles bought from Marshall's on clearance and Zulily, blankets were all handmade gifts from grandparents)<br /> Complete cloth diaper stash</p> <p>Things I know I'm getting:<br /> Stroller &amp; car seat - my Mother is giving this to us</p> <p>Things I know I need (and would like to have BEFORE the baby gets here):<br /> Breastpump and some bottles (I plan on breastfeeding but I want to introduce 1 bottle a day from the start)<br /> Pack n Play<br /> Toiletries, first aid stuff, etc.<br /> Boppy or similar pillow<br /> Wipes (just got some coupons for wipes so I'll be grabbing those soon)</p> <p>My shower is this Saturday, after that I'll probably do a final check of what I need to get! I like feeling prepared, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-bees-whats-on-your-to-do-list#post-62640 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:07:40 +0000 duckduckkristen 62640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 weeks and have not bought or done anything! We are going on our babymoon next week and then when we get back we'll start on the nursery, but are waiting to buy most things until after my showers in March. </p> <p>We have been gifted a couple outfits and I got a sling for free, but that's all we have so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-bees-whats-on-your-to-do-list#post-62623 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:51:47 +0000 obxwife 62623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have my nursery complete until a few weeks ago and I'm due Feb 23rd! I'm a classic procrastinator and my husband and I had a lot on our plates. As of now, we have everything essential we need to bring Baby T into the world! Minus a few little decorations, we're good to go. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-bees-whats-on-your-to-do-list#post-62561 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:23:48 +0000 Mrsbells 62561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bumping for more responses... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-bees-whats-on-your-to-do-list#post-62015 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:02:33 +0000 Clementine 62015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tequiero, don't feel too bad.
