Thanks! It took us ages, years and years and saving up to finally get a place like this however we have lived in absolute stinkers of flats in the past! We're so lucky. I hope one day you find our dream home

It looks fab!! xxx

 

[xSamanthax]

It's looking fantastic!! You have done such a great job!

I missed having a nursery for Ellie as we were living with my parents and shared a room and by the time we got a house she was too old so we just did her a big girl room. This baby isn't going to have a nursery either he/she will have to share with me and Daddy

 

[daddy2b]

Think I'll get this....

In the right colour of course

You've done a great job, it looks lovely! Our Lo is 6 months old and his nursery isn't at the same stage as yours! Keep up the good work

 

[amitootold]

Looks fab!!! May sneak some of the ideas into ours :0 we are going to start when we have had the first scan I think. Anything else seems like tempting fate. Thats one lucky baby!

We did the same. After the all clear on the 12 week scan, we went out and bought all the furniture!

Good luck on your scan. I hope it goes well

Well, I'm nearly done now! It's been a long journey and well worth it. It's cost a lot of money and virtually ALL our wages have gone on the little baby. We just want him here safe and sound now.

I just have to do bits and pieces now but I'm pretty much there
