    I put my layby on after the 19 week scan and am hoping to get it all out the first weekend in November! Other than that DH gutted out the wardrobe and renovated it with the wire basket system thingo once I got my tax cheque, cause that paid for the renovation. Other than that I have nothing else other than some clothes that people have bought me. Ah thats right DH bought bump 2 goldfish last week and I set that up in his room. So he has 2 pet fish even before he is born.

    I have alot of hand me down things left over from my daughter so I think Ill be right. I am thinking of grabbing a bassinette so bubs can sleep in it in which ever room we are in ! Oh and I think ill have to grab a new change mat , but the rest of the other things are in storage. My sister is pregnant too so Im going to lend her the cot that I used with Cierra

    Bub2be.

    I started setting up my babys room at around 20 - 22 weeks while i could still lift certain things. I have most of it done just waiting on my cot that will be here for xmas ( i hope ) but we are in no rush bubs is sleeping in a cradle in our room to start with, so we are taking our time.

    If it makes you happy sweetie, then it's never too early - no matter what anyone else thinks
    We just moved and so re assembled all of the big stuff we had in storage. Then all the other paraphernalia got chucked in there. I'm waiting for a weekend to myself to just get in there and play.

    we bought he big stuff ie: cot, chest of draws at around 18 weeks. We wanted to start getting things early so we didnt have one big expense. I still have a lot to get but go shopping for certain things whenever there is a sale on.
    We keep moving furniture around and playing with the room so start now so it can all be sorted in time.

    I have just started to empty out the 2nd bedroom. It has been my study for years so it is full of junk.

    Once it is emptied (another week or so) we will start buying the nursery furniture.

    It is so exciting

    can i suggest, if you're after particular pieces, NOT waiting too long - some of it takes up to 12 weeks to get in to the store... you can always layby what you want if it's available, but if it's not, you can get the stuff in on time. would hate for you to set your heart on something and not get it on time
