...I think I picked a baby room theme. This is insane mostly because I'm only six weeks.
In my defense, I'm letting myself look forward to a baby at the end of this pregnancy, which means I'm letting myself hope more than worry. And, I really like room design, which is good,because baby is going to be with us in our one bedroom. So I guess I'm really only planning what we are hanging on the wall , but I'm still excited 
How early did you plan your nursery?

Not till I knew the sex but I see nothing wrong with planning now.

About three years before the kids were born. I think you're fine:) What's your theme?

I don't think it's a big deal! I think it's great that you're being optimistic!

Aww I like what you said about hope vs. worry.
I didn't plan one because we have no room. I daydream about a playroom though.

I've been planning my nursery for a long time! It gives me hope that I will have a baby one day.

Now you have to share!!
I think it was one of the first things I did because I knew I wanted it done before I was in my third tri (heat of summer is no fun for paint).

For lo I started after I knew she was a girl at 20 weeks. This time I also waited 20 weeks just because I've been so busy.

Not crazy!!! We had the room painted and her furniture purchased by the time I was 8 weeks!! We got a really good deal on used furniture so we just jumped right in.

Yay!!! I totally stalk nursery designs on Pinterest all the time so I'm in the "never too early" camp! Never too early to POAS, never too early to think about names, never too early to think about decor -- it's the FUN part of the baby making (other than BDing hahaha). Let yourself enjoy this part, you deserve it
Oh and do share if you're comfortable with sharing.

Lol, guess I did leave you all hanging, huh? Sorry, didn't mean to
So, I think we are going to do travel! DH loves maps, and I love travel related things. I found some awesome inspiration in the prints that were used here by Mrs. Lovejoy:

Specifically, I love this calendar:

and this print from Land of Nod:

I think it can be fun and whimsical while still being something I want to look at falling asleep every night.
Thanks for the support. I'm excited, but of course, the second I posted this, I started panicking again. Sigh...

I completely understand how huge it is to actually think about the BABY and not just the pregnancy (I struggled with this too), so yay for you!!!
I think I started seriously planning around 10 weeks. Of course, I've had a nursery Pinterest board for a looong time!

@LovelyPlum: I love your idea! It made me think of some of my favorite pins I have stashed away. Hope you don't mind me sharing. The map one is my favorite!

@Sugar.Biscuit: um, I never mind sharing. Thank you! I love blue and white...it is so classy.

@LovelyPlum: I picked ours way before I was pregnant. Had one option for boy, one option for girl...ultimately, I did his room gender neutral anyways;) If you're team green, why wait? let the fun times roll!

I adore maps and travel!!! I have a map idea for a tattoo I am working on. I also love your attitude! It's wonderful to just let yourself enjoy this.

umm, I'm not quite 5 weeks and I already have rearranged our entire apartment in my head to make room for a nursery and have been day dreaming about decor as well!

We are waiting til we find out what we are having so we can make the nursery gender specific. But if I was team green, I would already be decorating and would have done so as early as possible. Lol!!

@LovelyPlum: hahaha I don't think you're insane! I had DH paint the nursery the weekend after I got my BFP!

@LovelyPlum: We started planning once we found out the sex, which was around 12 weeks. Nothing wrong with planning early.

OK, you guys make me feel better. I'm pretty sure I'll be too afraid to actually buy any baby items for a while, but I do love to dream. I'm seriously impressed with those of you who painted and got stuff so early!
@nana87: I do this all the time! It drives DH crazy, but he tolerates it

@lilteacherbee: exactly this. I'm trying to focus on this baby...it helps me worry less about the pregnancy

I'm 14w4d and I just thought of my theme because I have been trying to wait to find out the sex but me and DH were out yesterday and I seen a really cute blanket which was lion king (my fav movie as a child and I must admit I still cry today when the Mufasa scene comes up) and its not too boyish and not too girly so I had to get it then we want to Walmart to get some bottles and little stuff and I wind up seeing the lion king bedding and mobile and I was like that's it this is our theme but I'm not just doing everything lion king I want that to be the main thing but I also want to just do animals like elephants, Giraffes, monkeys, and thing like that. I'm so excited about it! But we find out sept 17 if its boy or girl so then I'll know if it should be more girly colors or boyish
