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!
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.
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!
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.
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 bags
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.
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!).
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
Re: When did you or When will you...
I hope to have this done before 37 weeks but I haven't done either so far.
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 readystarted my bag (found bag. put robe in. bah) will finish slowly, and be done at 37 weeks. carseat 37 wks.
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.

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.
