I feel bad for my baby

33 Upvotes

So, lately I’m seeing all your beautiful, tidy, THEMED baby rooms and I feel bad for my baby…
He’s 4mo and our current setup is a BabyBjorn bouncer on the sofa (safely, it can’t possibly fall down), stroller in the middle of the living room (since he sometimes sleeps in there during daytime), an always messy dresser shoved in a corner of our bedroom and a bedside crib. On top of that our house is always a mess, no matter how much me and my husband try to clean up.
I feel deeply ashamed, too much to even post photos here.
The worst part is that we would’ve had time and space to think and realize a proper baby room and I feel bad for having spent my entire (high risk) pregnancy on the sofa, doing nothing but praying that my baby would be born safely.
I feel like I’m depriving my beloved son of something beautiful, something that could show him my love, something meant for him, since he won’t ever be a baby again…
Am I the only one? Are there people out there in the same “roomless” situation as me? And more importantly, are there people that feel or felt the same as me? Tell me it’s going to be better…

How many months in do you guys use the nursery?

When do you guys use your nursery for baby? I’m curious because babies are supposed to sleep in the same room as parents for at least the first 6 months but ideally the first year.
