That's the hubby's job and I told him June would be my deadline for him to clear everything out so I'm not panicking just yet...</p> <p>We also haven't started our registry or purchased any baby gear except for a car seat because it was on sale and some clothes from Carter's 50% off sale awhile back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-736048 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 08:08:05 +0000 Revel 736048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a similar situation to @JoJoGirl: I am 34 weeks and we've painted the room and assembled the crib, that's it. Dresser still needs to be assembled, and we have no decor or curtains or anything yet. I'm not a huge decorator so I never expected to go all out on the nursery, but I'm hoping to get it kind of together before I deliver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735976 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 07:40:17 +0000 JoJoGirl 735976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 36 weeks we have nothing in the nursery but empty furniture (not a single item of clothing or set of sheets..). And i'm not starting maternity leave til I go into labor so... it'll get done eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735963 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 07:33:26 +0000 chanzi 735963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 23 weeks and we've moved out the furniture that isn't staying in that room, but that's about it! Right now our wine is on the shelf in there so that's going to have to move. We were also just given a charcoal grill and have been storing that in the nursery too! (It's a new one so at least it's not getting anything dirty.) Our shower and crib purchasing trip are both in about a month so I would like to clean out the room before those things happen. I'm not sure how much actual decorating we'll do, but we at least need space to store the baby stuff. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735917 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:43:32 +0000 looch 735917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our nursery was constantly evolving...it wasn't done until LO was 5 weeks old or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735913 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:41:04 +0000 edelweiss 735913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think our nursery was finally ready at about 39 weeks. at 38 weeks, it was filled with boxes and crap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735853 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:23:06 +0000 GrapeCrush 735853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>everything that my husband was in charge of for the nursery was done MONTHS before DS arrived. i am making the rug for the nursery and started it Feb 2012....he'll be 1 next week and it's still not done! oops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735845 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:58:22 +0000 berlinviolin 735845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I think having a nursery for a newborn is great (if you have that one extra room), I don't find it that much of a priority that you would need to feel foolish if you're "behind" on that!<br /> When our LO was born, we were living in an apartment with two rooms - a bedroom and a living room. LO slept in a crib in our room, and I don't think he missed anything. Now that we live in a bigger apartment, he has his own room (he was almost two when we moved).<br /> So I say don't sweat it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735528 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:02:35 +0000 heffalump 735528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant so I didn't have a choice but to wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735359 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:33:33 +0000 .twist. 735359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>24 weeks here and haven't even cleared the room out yet!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735338 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:26:13 +0000 deerylou 735338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad I'm not alone! I know it will get done eventually, especially because I'll be starting my maternity leave at 36 weeks, and will likely have some extra time to nest. I am just in a frenzy, lately - wanting to redecorate, consolidate, donate, and clean. I'm such a tidy person, and I feel like we live in a pig pen, all of a sudden. DH is rolling his eyes, sweetly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735331 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:23:10 +0000 Smurfette 735331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were moving, so I didn't start setting up anything until 34 weeks. LO is 6 weeks and I still need to finish hanging some pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735322 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:18:21 +0000 Corduroy 735322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're also in a two bedroom place and I couldn't get my husband to clear out the second bedroom until my contractions started. I wasnt concerned because I thought our baby would sleep in the arm's reach co-sleeper for a few months but she had other ideas. She refuses to sleep next to me without eating constantly. So she's been in a pack n play in her room for 8 weeks. We bought the crib on Saturday, mattress will be delivered tomorrow, nursery will be done... who knows when. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735315 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:14:45 +0000 runsyellowlites 735315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm we JUST got our shared bedroom semi set up &amp; P is ONE! I didn't even order her crib until she was almost 8 months! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735304 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:09:47 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 735304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sweetie, my little one is seven weeks old and my eldest is fifteen months old. No nursery yet. Although we did just get a new house (seven weeks ago), I'm in the same boat as you. I have ideas and I have some items for the nursery but we haven't gotten around to making the nursery yet! You're no fool my dear. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-procrastinate-on-their-nursery#post-735293 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:05:27 +0000 deerylou 735293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I live in a two bedroom apartment. Initially, the second bedroom was a guest room for visitors, but it has slowly evolved into a makeshift storage unit, especially as we spent more holidays together, and planned our wedding. </p> <p>We have slowly been pulling furniture and items out, and donating. Our living room is pretty full of baby gear, waiting to go into the nursery. We have yet to even order our crib, but have a co-sleeper for our bedroom, that we plan on using for the first few months. I have a nursery theme, and decor ideas, but I have yet to actually execute a gosh darn thing. Sure, I've purchased some things, but again - all in the living room.</p> <p>I'm 29 weeks and feel like a procrastinating fool. Did anyone else wait until the end to have a completed nursery? </p>
