2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Mississippi03]

Mississippi I love that idea! I just put up the cot bed today... Baby's room is tiny, it is the box room but I am grateful my LOs won't have to share as my DD likes her own space! I am in love with his room and can't wait to show it off when it's finished x

Im glad someone else is into it lol im obsessed with nurseries.. Cant wait to show it off when im done!

Lol nobody else responded? Not sure if anyone else is into it? I dont post often because i feel bad that a lot just gets looked over and never acknowledged in big threads like this

We won't have a nursery, as we have a one bedroom apartment

 

[Tink1o5]

I won't be having a nursery either as I to am in an apartment

 

[Charmed86]

I love the idea of sharing nursery photos I can't wait to show everyone Oliver's room.. I think we might have found someone to decorate it. I just hope they are as reliable as they seem!!

I've got my whooping cough vaccination this morning.

I think I might have SPD.. My hips are so so sore when I go to bed now. I'm barely getting any sleep! Last night, I somehow ended up sleeping on top of my pregnancy pillow! My hips feel better for it, but my bump was so sore. Just can't win

My nursery is still done from #1 so it isn't going to change tbh but I am happy to post pics when it is all sorted again

 

[MissR]

Yay other people want to show theirs off too we will have to get that going when we have our nurseries ready! I know what you mean, it is very hard to keep up with everybody on here. I do my best to respond to everybody but it is difficult!

I am struggling to keep up with my DD now, she is so so active and with it now being summer holidays in the uk, I won't be getting the little break I do when she goes nursery. She just chased me round the house 3 times while I was trying to tidy, and now I am exhausted!! I just don't want her to feel like I'm not putting enough energy into her but it's hard to keep up at this stage x

I'm not sure what to do about our nursery. We're thinking of moving house so I don't want to get the nursery done for us to move house and not use it (esp given LO won't be in there for several months anyway). I think we might repaint and then put furniture together if we haven't sold after baby is born. It's tricky! With DD the nursery was done by now!

Our nursery is just painted and got the curtains hung. We bought all her furniture from IKEA, and I'm going to refinish and paint all the drawers, so it's a bit too much of a mess to show yet!




Here was a pic I took of the paint while it was drying:

And here is a pic of her curtains, grey and white:

I have a question ladies: I have been receiving a lot of gifts in the mail and will get more when I put up my registry, what is the etiquette around thanking for gifts if you do not see the gifter in person? Should I call/email/message them right away, or wait and send a physical card? How are you tracking what you receive? I'm not having a shower as most of my friends and family are long distance.

I just have a list going of who gave me what, and I'm going to mail them all thank you cards when I get a chance.

Gp- I wanted to share this with you just in case. It probably doesn't apply to you but rather safe than sorry

I looked at the malm, decided on hemnes. Fyi in canada they include wall anchoring kits. But does this solve the problem? I betcha most people opt not to use them. I didnt use mine.. Yet! But i did keep it for when babe can climb so that i could anchor it then

 

[Tink1o5]

I'm not exactly sure if the wall anchoring kits fix the problem or if there is some kind of defect with the shelves themselves.

 

[Twag]

Eeek double digits :happy dance:

 

[Hit Girl]

Congratulations Twag!

 

[tallybee]

It does. I have already ordered my wall anchor kits.

Our bedroom set is Malm. It came with the anchors, we just didn't use them. But we did keep them to add later. Her nursery furniture didn't come with them, though, and they are mailing me free ones.


Thanks for checking, though!
