  • My due date is exactly 2 months from tomorrow and I actually feel like I still have plenty of time. lol  I'm a pretty big procrastonator(spelling).  The only big thing we have left to do I think is finish the nursery.

     

  • Our nursery is 99% done and I have everything I believe we need but I still feel like I have so much to do!

  • I totally feel that way and feel like if can't do anything. My hubby has to finish all the heavy lifting before I can do any more. I did pack Little Man's diaper bag last night, that made me feel better :-)
  • Just clicking on this link gave me a panic attack. At least I bought all the things I want to pack in my hospital bag this week and got a car seat. Those were some biggies.
     
  • Last week I ordered replacement parts for my pump. That was the first and only thing I have done! I need to start making a to do/buy list...

  • Yep I'm in total nesting mode. I want it all done! I've bought things for our hospital bags, but still have not decided on a diaper bag..on my to do list! Nursery is 85% complete and LO has plenty of clothes for now (team green) and I will buy plenty after he/she is born! Just reorganizing and getting some little things we haven't yet. Feeling the pressure for sure, only 7 weeks until my due date.

    My husband wants me to wait until after the shower to buy all the things. It's 3 weeks away and I am going nuts. This girl needs to nest! So yea, I feel yah.

    My husband was determined that we hold off on any clothes type items until after ours, which is finally this weekend. I will now begin buying up all the cute stuff I've been eyeing for weeks! I don't think he realizes that he had created a ticking time bomb with access to his money :D

  • I am just so exhausted! Every time I check something off my list, I have to add like 5 more things. But worst comes to worst I know dh and I will manage somehow.
  • Oh yeah. We seem to spend every weekend DIY ing but there is still a ton to do. Kitchens taken 10weeks to do and I still have one last job to finish it. We only just started the nursery last weekend.
  • I just need a sudden burst of energy to get everything done. Nesting instinct feels like a pregnancy myth this time around... Glad to know I'm not alone!
  • I've nested like crazy as far as cleaning and organizing, but the nursery won't be set up until the end of November. We have all the baby gear, crib, and changing table in the garage and DH could likely set it up in a few hours if needed should the baby come early. No point in cluttering the house with swings and bouncers just yet though. We still have a few things on my list we need to buy (diaper pail, nightlight, playmat, diapers, nursing pads, more 0-3m clothes, dreft, baby's Christmas stocking, etc) but none are things we have to have right now.

  • I am purposely holding off until the beginning to mid Nov.  I would usually have it done by now but then I just wait because I'm done.  The last few weeks (for me) seem to drag on and on.  This way I can keep busy and not have such a long wait.
  • Try not to stress :) the baby isn't even in their own room in the beginning. If you have diapers, onsies some blankets and boob/bottle car seat and a swing(bonus) your good to go!

    If only I even knew what to put on the list! I'm a list person and number one on my list is to make a list.

    I feel like I have a lot to do but I don't think I actually do. I have to finish the nursery which is 90% done and wash lo's clothes. Even though I've been seeing posts about hospital bags it didn't dawn on me until yesterday that "I" have to pack a hospital bag. O I'll get the baby's bag packed this week and start working on mine.

  • I have nothing.  That's right, nothing.  DH doesn't want to get anything until after the shower (which is next weekend) I'm starting to feel the pressure feeling like there is so much we need to do/learn/get and time is running out fast.  On top of that feeling, somehow we are super busy all through November...  Also overwhelmed with feeling like I don't know what to do.  Super excited, but super freaked too. 
  • Well we have a diaper pail now and some diapers, that's something, right? : ) (I keep staring at it, can't believe it is in our apartment).

  • I have a lot of his baby stuff but we still have our guest bedroom furniture in his room and have to wait until mid nov for his furniture to be delivered.
  • I still need to make this list.

    I still am not ready for my LO!! We thought we had two more months and were waiting until after our showers to get everything we needed. Now we are in a situation where Owen is in a race with the shipping of the glider and dresser/changing table we JUST ordered. Until we get the changing table/dresser, we don't have much storage in his nursery so we just have stuff sitting around in there. There is a strong possibility he is going to come home to an incomplete nursery and you know what? It really doesn't matter.

    We have a crib to lay him in, a carseat and stroller to transport him safely and some diapers...I know there is a lot that goes into a baby, but if he were to come home tomorrow (which is not going to happen btw, just using that as an example), we would be OK.
  • Nursery is done but I still haven't packed my bag just yet. I'm debating on what should I dress her in the Hosp and what she should come home in.

    Absolutely. This little girl is going to be her own little star in the hospital nursery and she will be having many visitors coming by.

    At least she won't need to pick out any pants.

    Oooh snap!

    I imagine it's easier to do a lot of things without pants. They're so constructing!
    Damn the pants!

    Edit: wait constructing? Haha

    Are these visitors going to be your awesome ILs? Or the deadbeat boyfriend whom you supposedly left because he wanted you to give up the baby? I'm so confused.
    I thought she was married. Now I am
    Confused.

    How pathetic how some of you always manage to mess up someone else's thread. Constantly on a stalking mission. I bet if I took a crap and you knew about it you would be there to capture the glorious moment lol smh

    OP sorry for the going there in this post.

    Yeah, read the Elisan27 posts. They're very conflicting with her SG posts.
    So noted.
