Anyone shopping for nursery furniture yet?

Question

Not sure if it’s still considered “early” or not, but we are starting to look at different cribs and everything because there are SO MANY brands, reviews to read, and types of furniture to consider. I’m 15 weeks tomorrow. I also had no idea that some cribs can take upwards of a month to ship to you! So now I feel like we should be making some choices on the crib and dresser in the next month. Have any of you ladies bought anything already, or have your furniture picked out but just haven’t actually bought it yet?

Answer

I don’t need a lot since I just had my daughter 14 months ago and I’m having another girl. However we do need a crib which I’m in no rush to buy as my daughter still doesn’t sleep in hers. But I don’t think it’s too early at all. I just ordered our double stroller yesterday as well as a diaper bag to accommodate two littles vs one. Start buying stuff when ever you feel comfortable there is no written rule to when is the right time. With my first daughter we were buy stuff once we heard the heart beat and then more gender base items when we knew the sex.

Answer

I actually had a crib given to me before i was even pregnant, it's just been sitting in storage. When it warms up i plan on painting it. I'm not getting a changing table, every mom I've spoken to said they NEVER used it. I was advised to get the thin storage bin the fits under the crib for extra storage. We're not actually going to put the baby furniture in the nursery until i decide how i want to paint it.

Answer

I bought my crib and change table around 8 weeks because the store I wanted to buy it from had a 15% off sale! They’re still in boxes in a spare cupboard for now.

Answer

We went to stores to look at baby stuff in general and had a good talk about what we wanted versus not.  Definitely need a crib and will add a changing pad to a table we already have so we decided against a separate changing table.  We are also putting everything on our registry and will close essential gaps after the shower.

Answer

I made our amazon baby registry. Everything that’s on it, are products I researched and am at least 90% sure I want. It’s a good way for me to keep track of the things I want and what things to look out for on sale/used. I have started buying things but only because I have been watching for good quality used items and I grab them when they come up, who knows when they’ll come up again? 😀 Just got a brand new baby bjorn cradle with 2 sheets for $200 CA that would normally cost $550!

Answer

We're going to use the crib/dresser from my 3 year old for the new baby.  Just bought my 3 year old new furniture last weekend! It should be here in a couple of weeks around her birthday.

Answer

I’ll be 14 weeks tomorrow and I’ve been looking around at what’s available now. Mostly because I have been trying to decide what to do. My 3.5yo has a convertible crib that we have converted into a double bed for her right now, so I’ve been trying to decide whether to buy her a new bedroom set and pass hers onto the baby or buy the baby a convertible set to grow with him/her. We really only need a bed & dresser and I have everything else from our first 2.

Answer

I am very happy that with my first i did not buy very expensive crib. It was around 200$ 
When  she was around 1 she bit and peeled  paint and wood lol . 
I think expensive cribs do not worth it:)

Answer

We had ours all set up before my son was born and he didn't use it a bit until we transitioned him into it at 6 months. This time, we have relatives that will be visiting from out of the country about 3 months after my second is born and will be staying in the nursery (we don't have any other rooms for them to sleep in). We aren't even going to set up the crib until they leave, lol.
