We started ours last weekend, had both families down and we cleaned out the second bedrom, which was being used a s storage, we packed up everything as we will be moving from this house in about 7 months time.

We now just have a wardrobe, and set of drawers, and we still have a queen sized be set up as well, as we don't have anywhere else to put it!

We have bought or ordered the following:

Pram: Bugaboo Cameleon, red topper charcoal base, with a breezy, footmuff, uv shade and cup holder, ordered it in February, still hasn't arrived, apparently the middle of this month, but who knows! We plan to use the bassinet of the pram as bubs bed while bubs is small
Nappy Bag: Ooi Ooi Red Messenger
Car Seat: Safe and Sound Meridian, a friend has the Platinum and said to get the Meridian as it is the same except for things like speakers - which they have never used!!
Cot, Tall Boy, with Change Box addition : We hope to order the Mali Euro - I think in Cherry, just trying to find the best price, fionas - you got a ripper bargain!!! Also going to get a good innerspring mattress
Nappies, Nappies, Nappies: We picked up a couple of boxes of H Newborns, when they were out for $29, but we are planning to be mostly using MCN's got 10 Pea Pods, and going to order another 10, got them plus two Night Boosters from the Baby Expo for $160. Also have some "Real Nappies" also got a started pack from the Baby Expo, so think we are set, oh and we have the Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper as well.
Wraps: Plenty of muslin wraps, patterned and plain, a few flannelette ones
Clothes: We have one 0000, but mostly 000 and some 00 plus a few bigger things we have picked up on special. Today I washed the 0000 and most of the 000, plus the Pea Pods
No Bath: We arre going to see how we go using the laundry tub!
Play Mat: Fisher Price Rain Forest Mat for tummy time
Rocker: Getting one from my Cousin

Family is busy making clothes, cots sheets, gro bags, large playmats, wool blankets, Cot Quilt, and probably more I don't know about!!

We aren't painting, but at the moment we don't have carpet in there, but I think we will get it done... depends on $$

OMG eej - that artwork is gorgeous, I have just looked at the website, I will be getting some at some stage, if not for the nursery, but maybe the playroom (actually a bedroom for when we have more kids!!) in the new house! The colours are just amazing - Exactly what I love!! Might have to add it to my "wish list" on my blog!!

I didn't think that I needed to have to room cleaned out, but now that it has been done I found that I need it!!

Good Luck Snoopea, it is a great time!
