There's currently little ice pellets falling from the sky, I just dropped DS off at preschool, so DD and I are cozied in again and I'll do some baking after my coffee. I started this mostly because I wanted the opportunity to AW our little nursery, the change pad came in yesterday and really brought it all together ☺ ETA the kids painted the canvas above the crib for their baby. Hope everyone has a good day!

That looks great tiffrobot! I love it. I am so excited about nurseries this morning too- I just ordered our crib, dresser, changing station, rug, curtain, bedding....yay! Can't wait for it to all come next week.

I am behind on the nursery front. I have just been so busy and exhausted. Next week MH is off from work so I think we will get some stuff done then.

tiffrobot, can I pay you to come set mine up? I'm still procrastinating on it. For the most part everything is in the room but nothing is organized or set up. I really need to get on it.

I have not done a thing in the nursery. Not one thing. It is still a guest room and my mom is staying there this week.
But I finally booked the window guy so the windows are getting stripped of lead paint, new chains and glass where needed, and new custom wood storms. I'm hoping that gets done in November. Then I will still need to paint. Plus I want to put in new picture rail and wainscoting. So. I think the baby will be in our room for a while, lol.

I definitely hit nesting phase September. But we had to move DS out of this room and into the basement and had some stuff we wanted to do in DD's room too, so I wanted them to get adjusted before the holiday rush (Thanksgiving is this weekend..so it begins eek!).
ETA I haven't even taken a peek at our clothing bins yet. My other two, while one of each sex, were born in the late spring/early summer so I have a plethora of clothes either way but I'm not sure how much I will have for the complete opposite seasons that this one will be growing into, at least in the baby stages where they outgrow everything every few weeks. I'm less worried about toddler size clothing because they wear it a year at a time anyway.

All the nursery's posted in the last couple weeks look great! We rent right now and our lease is up in June so baby will just be sleeping in a pack and play in our room until then. I'm too lazy to convert the office into a nursery (which would require painting and heavy furniture moving) for the 4 months that the baby will live at the current house. We'll set one up in the new place though so I'm loving all the inspiration

Hi!
I'm starting to get excited for the new nursery. I'm going to do navy and blush I think and try to talk DH into painting the nursery grey - we have leftover paint from the sunroom ceiling. I'll do everything else myself- decor etc. I want to do a woodland theme.

Hi everybody! Been a busy week since we have the ILs visiting. Long story short— it’s the WORST time for them to be here but they came anyway and I’m exhausted after a month with my husband gone and he literally came home two days before they got here. Add a bunch of weird passive aggressive stuff from my ILs and I’m so ready for them to leave haha.
BUT the good thing right now is they took SIL (10th grade) to the ymca for a bit so I am alone in my house!!! (Well DD is here but she’s napping lol)

I feel like I should take a pic of our "nursery" right now to share...to give you guys a good laugh. We have a partially assembled crib (which I don't even know if I want to use), a big pile o' rugs that don't go anywhere, a bunch of DH's speaker equipment (or crap, as I would call it! ), random baby stuff, bags of clothes to be sorted/donated/sold....the list goes on! I'm surprisingly zen about it but hopefully we can start doing something with it over the next couple of months!

I just can’t commit to anything for any of our girls’ rooms. The big girls will have the most change, need to paint theirs, but I’m just so indecisive. But we’re headed to IKEA and Home Goods this weekend so I need to make some decisions and get going.
Currently getting my hair colored and trimmed. Yay.

It's packed with shit we don't currently have a home for right now.... I see a lot of purging in my future

I know the room we will be using and I'll be reusing DS1's crib but it all ends there. This is going to be my November project but I'm also kind of in a bind because no one knows that we know the baby is a girl so I'm not sure when we will do stuff!

I really want to redo the nursery now!!! Love seeing pictures! Today is v-day for me, so a good milestone! DS is napping in his crib but sleeping at night in the big boy bed... he’s waking up suuuuuper early every morning, though. I hope he gets used to the new room and goes back to normal sleep soon. We’re heading to Minnesota this weekend for a friend’s wedding, and I’m looking forward to some cooler weather! And also the long weekend

It's past 4 pm and I saw the title of the thread and went... "isn't it Wednesday??" I even had class today so I know it's Tuesday. It's our wedding anniversary and while I wanted to make a nice supper, I just don't have the energy plus I'm trying to be super quiet while the toddler naps. I spent way too much time watching CNN yesterday and I'm just in a funk. I don't want to start a debate over it I'm just tired of psychopaths giving us responsible, safe gun owners a bad name.

I am getting excited for the nursery! I got one thing accomplished of putting M in a big boy bed and it seems to be going good! (Hopefully I didn’t just jinx myself!) I will now have the hubs convert M’s crib into the bassinet! At the end of November I will start washing clothes and what nots!

We have some room rearranging before a room is empty to make it the baby's room.
Does anyone have a good nursery chair recommendation? We didn't like what we had for DD

Hello ladies! I've been MIA for awhile because life has been busy. We found out last week we are having another boy! I had a girl nursery all planned in my head (I felt like I had used my one and only boy room idea), so I had to do some serious boy nursery planning 😉. Here's what I'm thinking. Nesting has hit hard and I'm currently cleaning out the guest room which will become the nursery. It's a hot mess. I have piles of keep/toss/donate and they are all spilling into each other. I've at least convinced DH to move out all the furniture that's in there so I can start painting. Also, going to check out a dresser I found on Facebook this weekend. Hope it's as nice as it looks in the pics. I'll be painting most of it, but I hope it's good quality.

yellow711 I love my pottery barn small comfort swivel! I’ve used it everyday since M was born! We just moved it out of his room since he’s got a queen bed in there now!

We didn't like what we had for DD we have this one: m.toysrus.com/product?productId=99288996We got it with DD and it has held up amazingly. It looks like it might be discontinued 😩 I had to hunt for that one. We got it in the color “Ash”. I have spent many many hours in that chair and have slept very comfortably in it many times. The gliding ottoman is a must too. We didn’t have that right away, thinking we could get away with just using a pouf or something, but it is so comfortable with the gliding ottoman.

We got a hand me down glider that is really nice...if I remember I will check the brand. It is very comfy and durable! I feel like it is a German brand...could be very wrong!
