How ready do you feel for baby to arrive?

75% - I have all the basic necessities so stuff-wise I'd be ok if she came now. But being only 35wks (tomorrow), I'd really like her to keep cooking for at least a few more weeks!

This for me, too. We have some shipments of baby stuff coming this week (changing pad, newborn diapers, nursing tanks) that I definitely want to get, and still have a lot on our to-do list, but everything is assembled and ready, the packnplay is in our room, with its sheet, ready to go, so if he showed up now, we'd be prepared. 

But, he better not show up yet - he needs to keep growing

It changes day to day . Today I feel very emotional and just want to meet him. But don't feel like were ready.

I know now how little "stuff" I'll actually need at first, so I feel ready enough. And since he'll be sharing a room with DD, theres no need for me to fill her room with his crap when he wont even be in there for months. I need to wash the covers for bouncer, swing, and carseat, but if that doesn't happen it's ok.

I have a place for him to sleep, some clothes, burp rags, boobs, diapers.... We're good.

Mentally- 100%
Physically- 50% We have a carseat but not installed. We have about 8 outfits, but none are washed. The bassinet is in the hallway. I haven't even thought about packing a bag. We do have diapers and I have boobs and blankets.

Right now school work is top priority. We write narratives for our report cards and the narratives are due next Friday so that is my greatest concern. And I still need to do some grading, teaching, work in DD's room, make a ring sling and make booties for this LO.

Maybe I will do clothes and ring sling and DD's room this weekend, along with school work.

Emotionally - ready! Seeing h boys at their respective ages just makes me ache to have her here and watch them grow.

Environmentally - she has a place to sleep and diapers to poop in but there are a bajillion things I would like to do around the house that simply won't be complete before her arrival but we are making headway
