  • Installed the car seat 2 weeks ago.  Still haven't packed!  Hmmm. . .probably should get on that. . .  :D
  • I hope to have this done before 37 weeks but I haven't done either so far.

  • I actually JUST did both this past weekend!! I don't have everything in my bag yet though...but most of the essentials! Now I just wait...it is kind of funny driving around with an empty car seat, I can't wait till there's a LO in there!
  • Installed the carseat this weekend. We intended on also packing the bag, but didn't get to it. It will happen on an evening this week.

  • Havent done any of that yet, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks
  • did both of those at 30 weeks.
  • We did it on saturday, but we have to fix the car seat and then go have it checked at the firestation.
  • Installing early (IMO) at ~34w because DH has to be out of town for a month.  I want to install together; it's just not something I want to do on my own (I know, I know...).  Car seat check will happen ~36-37w.
  • ...Install the car seat?

     one month before due date

    ...Have your hospital bag packed?

    a few days after we get the car seat installed... followed by getting the first diaper bag ready

  • started my bag (found bag. put robe in. bah) will finish slowly, and be done at 37 weeks. carseat 37 wks.

  • We have the car seat but will install it when LO is here. I do have my diaper and hospital bag all set and ready to go. All I need is comfortable clothing and panties being that I?ll be having a c-section. And tons of pads being that you do not want to use the hospitals!  
  • Car seat, done in both cars.

     Bag-I keep adding more to it.  Waiting for nursing bras to come in mail and I want to buy some new underwear this weekend.

  • I have done neither.

    We will put in the carseat bases in the next few weeks.  I figure even if I go into labor today and have her DH can pop the base in even in the hospital parking lot.

    I plan to make a list for my hospital bag soon.  That way if something happens I can just check things off and throw evernthing in my bag without having to think it out.  I want to wear my comfy clothes I plan to pack up until the last minute.

  • Plan on doing both at 34-35 weeks:)
  • We are waiting to see if we get our car seat at our shower on June 27th & if not then we will buy it & install it that weekend so that we can get it checked out & then I have my bag & diaper bag sitting out to pack.....I just have to put everything actually in the bagsSurprise
  • I just installed the carseat this weekend.

    I haven't started the hospital bag yet. I'm just not that worried about it for some reason.

  • have not done either yet.  DH can install the infant seat after DC is born.  DD is currently in the middle (safest spot) and we are not going to move her until DC is born. 

    I really don't need anything in my bag until after delivery so I can always send DH home to get it.  I'm not worried.

    not for awhile. maybe 36 weeks? i dunno....
  • We're planning on doing both next weekend (June 6-7) and I'm scheduled for induction June 10. I doubt I'd go before then.

  • All I know is what bag I am going to use. and that is it.

    All in due time! lol

  • I finally checked that off the 'to do' list on Saturday
  • We haven't done either yet, we wont install carseat until LO is here but I will have it in the trunk in the next couple weeks along with my bag just incase. We are out and about a lot so I prefer for it to travel with us at all times.
  • We installed the carseat over the weekend in my car since we'll be using mine when LO is born...I told DH to install in his car when he gets the chance (sometime in the next couple weeks!).

    I will be packing my hospital bag this week....

  • Car Seat: This weekend we're going to put it in

    Hospital Bag: Slowly working on it

  • We did both this past weekend. I am having my baby in 2 days. I kept trying to pack the bag, but then ended up taking stuff out of it. I'd wait. It doesn't take long to pack it as long as you have all the little things (I went to Walgreens and stocked up on tucks pads, mini-toiletries, snacks, etc.)

     

  • We took care of that stuff about 2 wks ago. Get on it girl, you don't want to get stuck running around like a chicken with it's head cut off last min. if you go into labor earlier than you expect or anything. Always better to be prepared in advance Smile
