35 weeks is very late for most people, the baby might make an appearance within weeks. I think it is a little mean to put that kind of a dampener on other people's excitement...what was the point?

We're going to start over the Easter hols I think. Otherwise we won't have time, there will only be half term (teachers) and I will be huge by then and we'll have other things to do. We're not repainting, but will sort furniture, storage etc I expect...just the bulk of the 'bigger' stuff so that all is left is fiddling and sorting and filling. Our weekends are so busy normally that it is important to us to make the most of our time.

because of the lack of BandB this weekend i found some motivation to get the painting done. I read somewhere it should be done at least 3months in advance in order to air the room. We havent ordered our furniture yet as we are away over easter so will have it delivered after that. Im so excited to get everything set up. pleased with the paint job so wanted to share.

why do you think it's too early?

well it is... i mean i wouldnt like to jinx things... thats just my way of thinking tho. not to be negative but anything could happen. i got nothing for my son until i was 35 weeks and i had the exact same thinking then too. that just me tho.

I'm definitely not superstitious- I have a few friends who asked me why I am ready so early but TBH I just ignored it - I have the energy and enthusiasm to do it all now. I've actually WASHED all our little one's clothes! I suppose it depends what you're like normally. I am ultra-organized, my job also depends on having that skill. So I have been planning and thinking about every possibility since Day 1.
I think if something bad happened at this stage, I would be upset anyway, doesn't matter if the nursery is finished or not. i.e. seeing all of her clothes and everything wouldn't upset me more than if I just pretended like nothing was happening till 35 weeks.

Oh wow ladies! Your nursery pics are beautiful.

Well we haven't started on the walls yet (using Wall Decore Art) but we have got most of the furniture in, so I can show you our progress so far.

Loving all the nurserys, I wish I could get to do it too. Baby will be in our room because we have a one bed flat, but I deffo will do a nice room when we get to move in the future. Keep up the good work ladies!!!!

35 weeks is pretty late to get started. I could barely walk...and there was no way I would be doing any shopping. Plus, I gave birth at 37 weeks. I am going to be setting up as soon as I find out the baby's sex. I have almost everything stored away from my previous two children...just need to figure out if I need to get the boy stuff or girl stuff out.

Because we want to? No reason that we have to wait. Each to their own

. I am finishing work early, and will not be getting paid maternity leave...So why wait until we don't have the second income to start preparing?

All the nurseries look great! I had thought hubs and me were getting a head start by ordering our furniture this weekend..but I guess not. The stuff we ordered is taking 10-12 weeks to be delivered... which puts delivery right at the time of my sisters wedding...

anyways here is what I ordered..

Lovely nursery pics ladies. I know I'm only 13wks but all being well we should be starting ours begining of April, reason being we have to decorate our sons new bedroom so thought we may aswell get them both done, this LO will also be going into DS old room so the furniture is in there already (his new room has built in wardrobe) and the cot will only be down for a matter of weeks before it has to go back up xx
