As the title suggests really, who does not have a nursery for their baby?
With Tomos I did up his nursery when he was about 3 to 4 months old, up unitl then he slept in a moses basket in the spare room and one of us would sleep part of the night in the spare room. He was such a noisy sleeper I just couldn't sleep all night in the same room as him!!
This time round whilst pregnant I thought about doing up the nursery for Ana, but she will eventually go in what is now a spare room with a double bed in it. We have ordered a new 3 piece suite with sofa bed for the lounge as if we loose the double bed then there will be nowhere for anyone to stay.
The 3 piece suite is due to be delivered next week, but now I'm thinking I shouldn't rush to turn the spare room into a nursery as I'm quite happy to have her in our room for a while. And part of me thinks I could get rid of the desk in the spare room and her cot would fit there.
But then the guilt sets in.
I spent a lot of time and money on Tomos' nursery as I wanted a specific jungle theme. I ordered cot bedding from USA and painted the walls in a jungle design myself. He is now 2 and a half nd still has the same bedding on his bed and the same paintwork on the wall, and I know it will last a while for him. And I feel I should be doing the same now for Ana, but first of all I have no inspiration for what I want the nursery to look like and second she probably won't even go there properly for a few months.
Also as silly as it sounds I see others with photo's of nurseries done at like 20 weeks (not just on here but friends/colleagues etc) and I think why on earth haven't I done a nursery!!
