To all the moms feeling guilty about their nurseries, I'm being induced tomorrow and here's my corner o' baby crap in the living room
I always see posts on this sub expressing guilt over not having tons of space or money for baby stuff. I don't have space either, but I also don't have guilt.
We live in a 1 bd apartment in NYC. The living and dining room is also the baby room. I put all this stuff here because it's farthest from the radiators and windows and we want to keep the bedroom as just our room. One of us will sleep in the living room while baby is super little.
I'm gonna take the tree down early today and put the ornaments in that tub. I don't want to, but I'm not gonna do it once the newborn is here. Nursing chair will go there once it arrives from Costco. This corner was my husband's practice space so now the music stand is homeless. Under the secondhand Snoo is a box of formula and a baby tub filled with adult diapers for me (I drilled some holes in it so I can hang it in the shower). Changing table is a mess of returns and family baby blankets. That red painting still needs to be taken out of the splash zone. The carseat is under the dining table. We don't have a car.
Most of what you see is generously made by family or scored on FB Marketplace.
No theme, no special room, very little decor (my grandma is very kindly making a nursery rhyme themed wall hanging 😭). Baby will be safe, clean, fed, and loved. It's really okay if your don't have a nice nursery!
