Too soon?

Question

My SO is a little apprehensive to start decorating our nursery. We are 23+1 with our second due December 25th. Due to a repeat csection we will like deliver 7-10 days early.  I   feel as though the end of the year gets busy with holidays and we will quickly run out of time. We both work 50 hours a week and have a 3 year old so it will likely take several weeks to get everything completed as it will get done a little at a time. Am I crazy? Or is too soon to start the nursery.

Answer

It's never to early to start the nursery in my opinion. We've had ours set up by 18weeks and slowly adding decorations now at 25weeks. You definitely don't want to wait until the 3rd trimester, as you'll more than likely get tired quickly and sore. Plus with the holidays closely approaching, you don't want to be too stressed out.

Answer

Nope! Start now rather than later! I have to work every other weekend, so we are only able to work on our nursery on the weekends I'm off. We started around 22-23 weeks. I'm 25/26w & we still have a little while to go. We still need a second coat of paint on two of our walls (pictured below), getting new carpet in the room (previous owner had their dog in the room we're using as a nursery), and then still need to purchase the rest of our furniture & put it together (we only have our crib, which is still in the box).

So if you have 50hr weeks, I HIGHLY recommend getting started & doing it little by little versus having to rush at the end & not having enough time.

Answer

I'm due 12/25 as well. My husband and I are going to paint the baby's room this weekend.

Answer

I'm 24 weeks and ours is still a guest room at the moment. Lol. With my first everything was done and ready so far in advance. This time I don't feel rushed to get it all done.

Answer

Now is about the right time to start! Im 22 weeks and just ordered the wallpaper and hope to order furniture next weekend. Things take time to arrive and there's always little details to do so it takes time. I also want mine all set up before my baby shower in late October so my friends and family can see. :)

Answer

I have been preparing since I found out the gender.  It's too much fun to wait.  And why wait!?

Answer

I'd definitely start early- actually, I did! There's lots of holidays in between, and if you both work lots, then you don't want to be stressing at the last minute, around the holidays, trying to get it all finished in a short amount of time. Plus, if you do it a little earlier, you can just do a little at a time and not feel pressured to get it all finished right away. And you'll still have enough energy to help design and be a part of decorating, without being extremely preggo and uncomfortable. 😀 I'm 25 weeks and started working on mine here and there, starting around 21 weeks. Baby will be sharing a room with big brother during the day (and have dresser, diapering gear, etc in the room), so I also wanted to do it a little earlier to allow big brother time to mentally prepare himself and get used to having baby things in his room.

Answer

If you plan to help, you don't want to wait until the third trimester. You'll tire easily and won't be able to maneuver around as nimbly.

Answer

I am 24 weeks and mine is almost done. So it is never to early to start IMO.

Answer

I'm hoping to start mine soon....I'll be 26weeks tomorrow just waiting till I can pay off my layaway
