whenever you want.....i think its best to do it little by little for the whole 9 monthes....that way you always have SOMETHING to do....i didnt actualy get to set up vals nursery until after she was born (because we didnt have a room for her) and i still dont get to decorate it because of stupid military housing rules

whenever you want. we moved when i was 34 weeks, so i obviously had to wait. we had all the stuff though, so if we hadn't been moving i would have set it up much sooner.

then i would go in every day and swoon and look around.

then i wanted to cry when i went in when i was overdue. i was a tad emotional and i felt like i would never have a baby to occupy the cute nursery.

Whenever you want to. I think I started sometime in the last trimester but I had been picking up small things here and there once I made it past the first trimester.

whenever you want, but having it up too soon will make you crazy waiting for the baby.

i didn't really do anything to williams room. once we moved into the flat (when william was a week old and still sleeping in our room), his godfather painted his room for us. it took a while, probably four months because he had uni aswell. the furniture was already in there. but by the time william was ready to sleep in his room, it was done

We moved when I was 8 months pregnant so I didn't get to start Kaylee's room until then. & even then we were living in a one bedroom apartment so I could only decorate half of the room as the nursery. It worked though & looked adorable.
