no nursery

[organicmama]

Due any day now and cannot sleep. Feeling frustrated because I don't have a nursery and everything is just in stacks and boxes and totes. Hubby didn't want to set up a room because we have spent the past year house hunting and are now actively trying to buy a house and it didn't make sense to set something up and take it down. And we didn't want to spend money on furniture when we need it for down payments, etc, so we just got a pack n play. Which will work. I know. But its so frustrating to have nothing organized, no baby furniture or decoration or or anything set up, (baby doesnt need any furniture! They say) and be living out of boxes and totes and its just so uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Hate knowing I'm going to come home and just sit on the couch in the living room recouperating and feeding baby til we move. (If the sale goes through! If not then just stuck here til we start all over with a new house... Ugh and that process is so stressful and expensive) Graah. Next time I am not house hunting and having a baby at the same time. My nesting is kicking in and I'm going to claw my eyeballs out repressing it because nobody else understands they just say don't worry about it. "All babies need are boobs, blankets and diapers." Every time hubby catches me looking at furniture or cribs or wall art or closet organizers or lamps or curtains or anything nursery related he reminds me that we don't actually need any of that and its a waste of money that we can't afford right now. All the other pregnant people i know had darling rooms set up by 5 months in, and showed all the pictures of sweet peaceful color coordinated rooms with bookcases and baby names on the wall and comfy chairs and neatly organized closets, etc. Just a rant I guess. Anybody else not doing a nursery?

I don't have a nursery either!  Just a bassinet and changing table with boxes of diapers and wipes under our bed. We're buying a house in a few months and with our in laws. It's OK.  Baby doesn't care & it will be more fun setting it up when you know it doesn't have to be taken down. Try not to stress!

When i had my youngest,  (now 6) we moved in with my in laws to save money to buy a home.  We ended up there for a year.  We had a playpen next to our bed. Oh and twin 7 yr olds too.  That was it. I felt the same as you.  However,  I was totally fine when he was born! I realized I didn't need everything I wanted.  Now,  Im due in a couple of weeks with our girl and since we do own a home I went and did the whole nursery thing after one of the twins agreed to move in with the 6 yr old. Idk if you're planning on having more kids but if you are you can do it then.  Your baby won't know they don't have a nursery. Just make them a cool room later when they're old enough to appreciate it.  ♡

I know the feeling of not having a room set up. I have a crib and furniture but we don't have a separate room for baby right now because we are moving too. However, don't let it stress you out because you will quickly realize how much time baby actually spends in the nursery is slim to none.

Thanks guys. At least I'm not alone in not having a room. Gotta let it not bug me.

Im not buying a house or anything like that. We are trying to finish a remodel on my bf's house and he's been really trying to get it done and up for rent so it's not draining us anymore. We have 3 bedrooms here but have only been using 2 as my other children are used to sharing a room but my 10 yr old wants her own room now. We started fixing and painting that but it's stalled right now since I can't paint. We are going to put baby in with my 7 yr old but that is stalled as well for paint etc. Baby will be in my room for now. And even with that I haven't found time to clear a spot for her crib. I'd like it to be done but there just isn't time. Three days until my C-section.

Same here.  We're looking for a new place to live. And I'm the same way. We have everything we need for her room but haven't set anything up due to living with my mother at the moment. So hopefully were moved out by April since I'm due in may and want to have everything ready.

Im not atm. We are hopefully moving too but i still have 3 and1/5 months left. But i plan on having the baby stay in our bedroom no matter where we live in his crib right next to my bed. No u dnt need all of those things but it makes u feel good just to kno ur baby has all those things have u tried actually telling ur husband how much u want to? What is it really going to hurt to have to pack everything up again, a little extra time? Seems worth it to me and im sure to u as well. Ur husband doesnt have to be the one to set it up or pack it all back up when u do move why should it be a problem to him to just set up what u have already? Try not to stress abt it to much but if it really gets to u just do it.
