We're only 21 weeks and have got most of the big things organised. We were so excited that we couldn't wait. But I am glad that we have lay buyed our pram, cot and change table early. The pram we lay buyed before christmas and it has only just arrived in the store. The cot and change table we did in early Jan and they still aren't in stock. So it doesn't hurt to start sooner than later.

Other than clothes and stuff we don't have anything at home with us. We've just started doing the big clean out so that bubs will have their own room. As soon as that's done, we'll start picking up our lay buyed items and getting the room ready.

When it's your first there are so many things to buy that you don't think of initially (thermometers, bottles, breast pumps, linen, and the list goes on and on) that I don't think it hurts to start early. And it is so much fun! I just put all the clothes we've bought into a drawer the other day, you wouldn't believe what a good feeling it is just to open the drawer and look at them all, I think it makes it all feel a bit more real.
