Things I'm feeling guilty about

sgrlsgrl member
in 2nd Trimester

1. I started reading both the Dr. Sears baby book and The Happiest Baby on the Block and I haven't finished either. I feel woefully unprepared for a newborn! I have a book on breastfeeding which I haven't even cracked open yet. I don't even know how often babies are supposed to eat.

2. My friend bought the Moby wrap off my registry months ago and while I've glanced at the directions, I have yet to take it out of the bag and actually attempt to learn how to use it.

3. I bought a used stroller on Monday and I haven't washed the cover yet.

4. Nothing is set up in the baby's room yet.

 

OK, I know I have a while, but I think I need to get busy.

    I haven't read half of my baby books either. I have also not done all the organization I need for the nursery and I am just now getting the furniture this weekend. I don't feel guilty yet. I feel like I still have plenty of time. At least the room is painted.

    I have to laugh a little at this because The Happiest Baby on the Block has been sitting on my nightstand gathering dust.  I read maybe the first two chapters and that's about it.  My friend told me there's a DVD that's like 20 minutes long, so I think I'll just get it on Netflix.

    don't worry or get upset! you have plenty of time!! i get in modes where I want to and have to get things done and then other times where i can't be bothered.

    i took forever to clean out the room we're converting into a nursery and it's still not 100% cleared out. but i'm doing it this weekend along with painting... after that I'm sure I'll take a break and not do anything for a while...

    Are you a SAHW?  I haven't done any of those things but I don't feel the least bit guilty.  It's not like working and being pregnant isn't tiring enough.  Don't beat yourself up about it- you've got time!

    I haven't done a thing yet..Friends have bought me some clothes and things like that but I haven't bought a thing yet...

    We are looking to buy a house and I don't want to set up a nursery yet because we have no idea where we are going to end up...

    I feel behind but I know it will all be just fine. Baby will be with us in his bassinette in our bedroom for the first few weeks  anyway so the nursery can wait a bit...

    The video is a good synopsis of the book- like the coles notes! My hubby and I watched it before our son was born an it was really helpful.

     Welcome to the Mommy Guilts OP!  They are here to stay!
