She's staying in our room for a few months, so there is no real rush, but I would like to get some more done. Right now we have the big pieces of furniture, a rug, a new lamp, and a fresh coat of paint on the walls, but that's it. Oh, and we unpacked her clothes in the dresser, but other than going in to get her a new outfit, we're really never in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-550054 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:10:44 +0000 Adira 550054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 36 weeks and ours still isn't ready. Though the crib is finally in there and setup! I'm hoping to get a lot done in the next two weeks and pray I don't deliver early!</p> <p>We do have a bassinet though for when the baby first comes home, so I figure it's okay if I'm not done the nursery and the baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-550028 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:01:21 +0000 blackbird 550028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours has been ready since about week 27 or so, furniture-wise...but I *just* washed all her clothes/blankets/etc this week at 32 weeks and I still have finishing touches of things I need. I need a trashcan, to make a diaper solution, finish buying what's on the registry, get a surge protector so we can plug in the humidifier and lights, etc. Nothing major. I don't feel rushed since she'll be sleeping with us for awhile, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-550015 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:53:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 550015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad put our crib together while I was in the hospital having LO. Everything else was finished around 36 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-550006 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:46:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 550006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The majority of it was done at 36 weeks . . . but I still hadn't finished all the laundry by the time I was induced (it was a surprise induction), and I didn't have a diapering station set up (diapers out of packages and what not). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-550005 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:46:13 +0000 Springtime 550005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! We got a late start bc we moved when I was 36 weeks, but we made it work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-550003 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:43:51 +0000 Chillybear 550003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really nervous about this as the room that will be baby's room is currently our office. In order to make it baby ready our plan is to use our tax refund money to finish the basement and move the office down there. Then we can finally tackle the nursery which will have to be cleaned, painted, organized and decorated. It just seems like a lot of work to finish by Sept/Oct </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549785 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 23:58:14 +0000 MsMini 549785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH was still putting stuff on the walls when I was in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549783 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 23:55:36 +0000 shopaholic 549783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My goal is to have it all done by end of this week - I'll be 36 weeks. Honestly thought I'd have been done a lot sooner, but I've been slow with the DIY projects in the 3rd tri. Would recommend doing as much as you can before you get too tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549698 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:31:47 +0000 Minnie_Girl 549698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 8 weeks and the nursery is nowhere near done. Walls are painted and some furniture is in, but it's all very piecemeal. Ah well. She's still in our room so we're not in a rush. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549677 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:09:17 +0000 Periwinkle 549677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is 12 1/2 weeks old and it is only now starting to look "done"! We took our time decorating since we did not know the gender and wanted to wait until after he was born to complete the room. It was repainted, re-carpeted and all of the furniture was in by about 35 weeks. We're still adding little touches here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549676 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:09:15 +0000 sylvie_b 549676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we'll be 90% done (just need to hang up picture frames/art and buy bookshelves) by this week, my 30th week. yay! even though the baby doesn't sleep in there for a few months, i don't think we'll have the time or energy to put it together once he's here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549645 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:54:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 549645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well the essentials were done by the time he was born though we didn't buy his crib until he was 4 months. And we finished all the decorating when we moved and he was 9 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549644 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:53:50 +0000 prettylizy 549644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So early!!! I was OCD abotu finishing it before my 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549642 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:52:34 +0000 JerricaBenton 549642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is completely done (like pictures hung, toys and diapers washed and ready) as of last weekend and I'm 38 weeks. If it were all up to me I would have been done sooner but I needed my husband's help and he is crazy busy so we took a little longer. She'll be in our bedroom anyway but I wanted the nursery all done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549638 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:49:05 +0000 MrsStar 549638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 4.5 months, and we only got her stuff in there yesterday. We live with in-laws and they've been dragging their feet for the past year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549561 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:49:19 +0000 heffalump 549561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely done..... When she was a few weeks old. We didn't put her crib up till she was born, crazy Jewish superstition. She slept in a bassinet in our room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549553 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:44:47 +0000 Meridian 549553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping ours will be done by 34 - 36 weeks?! We don't plan to start working on it til around 20 weeks once we know the sex and can plan accordingly. </p> <p>DH and I were talking about this yesterday. He mentioned that his sister said we don't need to have the nursery ready before the birth because the babies don't sleep there for a while. While this is true, SIL followed this thought process and her nursery is STILL not done... And she has a 4 year old and a 2 year old! They just never bothered, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549551 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:43:25 +0000 Smurfette 549551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 34 weeks and no where near ready. Granted we just closed on the house this past Friday, but all we have done is my Mom painted on Sunday. This weekend, we move in, so hopefully I can get a lot done on Sunday. If DH gets the crib together for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549549 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:40:10 +0000 aprk 549549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the major stuff is in and ready in the nursery at almost 33 weeks, but we still have lots of necessities to get together (diapers, wipes, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549529 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:13:45 +0000 Bao 549529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was all done by 32 weeks I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549527 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:12:41 +0000 sarac 549527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We finally finished it when she moved down there at 8 months. We just decorated it in the last few months - she's 16 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549516 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:07:29 +0000 sslm 549516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was ready for baby around 24 weeks when my parents came to visit! It's still not completely finished though. I have some finishing touches to do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549515 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:06:04 +0000 JessiBee 549515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's getting there. (So am I: I'm 38+3.) There's a crib, but no crib mattress (but there is a pack and play ready to go to our room), and very little in the way of clothes, blankets, towels, etc., since we won't do a shower until after baby's arrival. It's much closer than it was a month ago, but I suspect we'll do a lot more in the coming months after baby joins us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549417 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:41:33 +0000 ladyfingers 549417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was ready at around 28 weeks but I'm an overachiever. Actually it was "decor ready" but we were still stocking up, putting away clothes etc., putting away gifts, up until the last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549407 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:37:08 +0000 cascademom 549407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had his nursery ready for him a couple of months after he arrived. We procrastinated a lot on getting stuff done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-nursery-ready-for-your-baby#post-549400 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:32:35 +0000 autumnlove 549400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first LO, it was move in ready about 3 months before she was born.</p> <p>The walls are painted in Baby 2's room but nothing else is done. I know there is no real rush since she will sleep in our room for a few months but I still want to organize and buy some furniture! </p>
