You probably can't go by me because I'll be starting to actually paint sometime in the next couple of weeks. I am 31 wks and I am well past that 'energy burst' stage. But I am very superstitious and don't believe in having 'everything' ready before the baby arrives. So we'll do everything except assemble the crib before the baby arrives.

Well, I'm probably the minority, but I've bought my bedding and I'll be painting the week of 5/9 - I'll be in my 21st week then. I want to have the room done by the time the baby is here....

Thanks i feel like i am jumping the gun but i know i will probably be on bed rest so i don't want to leave it to last minute because it will never get done.

if you think that you are going to be on bed rest then you should do what you can now...but if you have someone else to paint for you then let them...you really shouldn't be around the paint fumes.

My DH is going to do the painting. I just want to decorate it the way i want it. I am not allowed to paint, lift so on and so forth.

My mom actually did the painting and the border for me cuz she knew if FH did it I would be in there as well and she didn't want me in there. Marissa was born september 2nd and mom did everything in the middle of july so that gave us enough time to get the carpet and set up the furniture

I didn't do any registering or furniture ordering until after my Level II Sono as I just wanted peace of mind that everything was looking good with the baby. My husband painted the nursery a few weeks after that and my furniture is coming this week (I'll be 32 weeks). Carpet was installed last weekend and then I just have some pictures to hang, shelves etc. Everything should be one about a month before my due date. I am definitely getting anxious now to have everything ready though - must be that nesting instinct!
