When's the Best Time..? Posted: 03-21-07 21:42pm
To make a nursery for the baby? I am 16
weeks pregnant and my mom is setting up a
baby shower in .June so I will have
everything I already need from the baby
shower. My friend made her nursery when
she was around 25 weeks, but I don't know
if that's too soon or should I do it now
that I have the energy.

i would wait till your atleast 25ish
weeks, so its done by the time the baby
gets here even if he/she is early, and you
know the sex, thats if u choose to find
out. personaly we dont have a nursery, i
rather have my baby in my room with us
(but in a crib) until he can call for me,
i dont think i could sleep with the static
noises from the baby monitar

It doesn't really matter when you set up
the room for the baby. Just make sure you
aren’t huge when you do, because that is
when it gets hard.
You won't necessarily have everything you
need from the shower so you should make
sure that you save money for what you do
need. Just because it’s on your registry
you might not get everything off of it.
Some people might not even shop off of it.
so don’t count on your baby shower for
everything you need.

i agree with gen, i think i got 3 things
off my registry at my shower. nick and i
had to go buy everything else and it
wasn't cheap. lots of people don't like to
shop off a registry because baby shopping
is too fun, they want to pick out
something cute on their own. i got a lot
of clothes and stuffed animals at my
shower.
we set up our nursery around 34-35 weeks,
but that's because we moved when i was 33
weeks.

"b" is right, people buy the cute stuff.
and i'll admit that before I had amelia i
was likethat too.....but now because i got
almost nothing off my list....i always
shop for people off their list....because
i know what it's like not to get what i
want/need.
you can tell people till you are blue in
the face to shop off of it...but itdoesnt'
mean they will

I'm not sure when we will get to our
nursery. We are having to do some
renovating just to make sure the baby has
a room. It's nearing completion, but
still has some work to be done. I am 18.5
weeks along now, so hopefully within the
next 6-8 weeks we can start on it.
I really hope people stick with my
registry list. Luckily though, we have
had alot of the stuff we need handed down
to us from my sister. She gaves us a
crib, a changing table and a highchair. I
think the hospital gives us an infant
carrier...some do, some don't around here.
I need to check that out for sure. I
know there's still a ton of stuff we'll
need, but at least we have a few of the
major pieces!!!!

infant carrier meaning car seat? i thought
hospitals only had some on hand for the
people who couldn't afford to buy one,
since you can't leave without one.

Yep, an infant carseat. I'm not sure if
the hospital I'm going to be delivering at
gives them away (I'm thinking no, because
it's a fairly big city), but I know the
hospital the next town over gives them to
all first time moms.
