I am feeling so totally unprepared...

This baby could come any day and I am not feeling prepped at all.  Not that I'm not ready to have 2, but like things at my house have to happen that haven't.  We are moving DS to another room, but we had to wait for new doors to be installed (exterior doors to a porch).  That was done yesterday, so now I guess we can move him in there to make room in his old room for the new baby.  But his crib needs to be taken apart to move to the new room and then reassembled, then the new crib needs to be put up...etc etc.

I guess I'm just nervous this will happen and nothing will be done.  Slap some sense into me!

Re: I am feeling so totally unprepared...

  • You know that even when you are fully prepared, you can never be really prepared.  I had everything ready and I was 3 wks early.  I didn't use most of what I spent a lot of time getting ready.  So no matter what, you'll make it work somehow.  Just relax and take care of yourself.  Maybe do some special things with ds before the new baby arrives.  :)
  • It will all get done! And even if it doesn't, you still have plenty of time. The new baby wont know the difference between a crib in it's own room vs. a swing in your room.

    Like the pp said, enjoy this remaining "quiet" time with your DS and DH since things will be a little busier when the new baby arrives!

  • Honestly, with both my girls, a lot of that happened after they got here.  With DD#1, I was induced at 37w3d.  Thankfully, we'd thought to install the carseat and keep the hospital bag with us.  DH had to go home and pick up our last minute things (like glasses and contacts and such).  With DD#2, she came on her own at 36w2d.  I had found the pnp bassinet shelf, but hadn't put it together.  Again, the carseat was installed because we were told they might induce me at 35w2d (my appt the week before) so we had a few things ready.  Even if it gets done after you get home, it's not the end of the world.  As long as you can feed the baby, diaper the baby and find a place to lay him/her down, you're good. 
  • It will all be fine. Don't stress yourself out.
