I got the pram at the weekend and ordered the cot, mattress and baby sleeping bag yesterday from mothercare.

Went to the next sale just after xmas and bought a wardrobe of clothes to last her till about 9 months, so sorted all that out into size groups.

Still gotta get little bits like changing mat, cot mobile, cot sheets etc but i moved our bedroom around today to make room for the cot to go up when it comes... i can't wait now

oh, just gotta pack my hosp bag but gotta get some feeding bras to for that.

Well done!! The Nursery furniture is really nice

I think I'm more organised then I feel TBH..Got the cot and mattress, moses basket, wardrobe, bath and changing mat, clothes, steriliser..uhh need to get monitors and bouncing chair, pram and car seat have been ordered.. Oh and pack my hospital bag, I attempted to make a list of stuff I need to put in..got as far as nappies, wet wipes and paper pants then gave up..

 

[moomoo192]

Thats the same cot i'm getting gem, don't see the point in getting a dearer one, i just spent a bit more on a decent mattress as thats what counts.

 

[Babylicious]

well done - i'm finished tho

 

[fothers]

When it arrives you can have loads of fun putting it all up and organising it

 

[paiges_mummy]

[Gem & Leland]

[Gem & Leland]

[clarey]

wow, I wish we were so organised!
This is the first week I have bought anything.... Got the moses basket yesterday so she does at least have somewhere to sleep if nothing else!!
OH doesnt seem to have ANY sense of urgency about shopping either which doesnt help!

OH doesnt seem to have ANY sense of urgency about shopping either which doesnt help!

mine neither, i got 3 weeks left, got such an urge to get EVERYTHING finished, said to him yesterday i need to go into town and get the cot sheets and nursing bra's, he replied 'you can do that next week can't you?' needless to say, i've got the bedding but no bra's yet

 

[Gem & Leland]

financially ive had to spread things out , im also one for bargain hunting and u cant do that aswell if u do it last minute lol

i love bargain hunting! i worked out yesterday that ive saved in total £900 sale shopping.
i got loads of m&s baby clothes in the sale for £1 each that should have been about £15.

i desperately desperately want to get organised... but i can't do anything til the building work in our flat is carried out we're still waiting for the estimate from the builder, then we'll have to wait for the loss adjustor, then it'll take 2 weeks to get the work done and OH and i will have to move out for at least 3/4 days...

and we've still got loads of stuff left to buy (eg crib!), which wouldn't have been a problem before, but now we're not really going to have a flat to put it all in, or at least, not a clean nice ready-for-baby one...

i'm just hoping trog stays put for a good long time yet!!!
