Is it too early to buy furniture?

Cindy
I found a used Delta convertible crib for $70 and its in great condition other than missing screws. I don't think the screws will be a huge fix.
Anyway, my husband wants to wait to buy anything until we see what we get at our baby shower. I don't know if I agree though. I'd rather buy a cheap, used, good quality crib and the let people purchase other stuff on our registry (if they want to of course).
Just wanted to get some thoughts. I'm also worried about not having energy to do all that stuff AFTER our baby shower.
