16 weeks 4 days: a nursery

This week i'm going to make a really good start on the baby's room. It's the only room in the house that hasn't been unpacked, and it's also where we keep chucking the things that we don't know where to put! I can just about get through the door so it might be a good idea to start sorting it out.

Its tricky though, because I can't by anything and set it up how I want to. I'm incredibly supersticious on this. There's an old jewish proverb that says you can't bring anything in to the housr until the third trimester. With oliver I brought home a baby monitor at 7 weeks which we were going to give to mum to keep at her house. With george we bought a new monitor to use with sophie at the time but to be for the baby afterwards. That was around 8 weeks.

So i'm not buying a thing, even though i'm tempted to start stocking up on nappies and wipes and blankets. I'll just clear the mess out of the room and set the furniture up. That can't mess with the superstision can it?

I got some feed back this week from a young lady who is pregnant with her first and having a hard time of it. Its good to see that my struggle is helpung someone else with theirs.
