30 weeks and having a slight panic attack!

in 3rd Trimester

I just wanted to know, how behind i am with everything? Or are there some other 30 weekers that are still not prepared?

I have cleaned out the den and moved the pc and books to other rooms in the house, but the room is still a disaster and needs painting and the carpet cleaning; and because the room isn't done the crib still isn't built.

I still haven't packed my hospital bag, and don't really know what to pack.

I only have a few bits of clothing, but they are not washed nor put away for LO.

And lastly my belly button still hasn't popped! Waaaaa!!

Am i really crap, please tell me there are some others who are not ready!

    There are lots of others who are not prepared. DH and I just bought our crib this morning and there's no telling when it'll get put together. Don't freak out, you have plenty of time. Plus, if it's not all done by the time our LOs arrive it won't be the end of the world.

    I still haven't packed my hospital bag, and don't really know what to pack. This isn't really that big of a deal. See posts below.

    I only have a few bits of clothing, but they are not washed nor put away for LO. You don't need much clothes the first few weeks. Mainly sleepers and onsies.

    And lastly my belly button still hasn't popped! Waaaaa!! This may never happen, i wouldnt worry about it.

    Oh yeah, my belly button isn't popped out yet either and I don't think it's going to pop out before I give birth. I had a really deep belly button pre-pg.

    We are not ready AT ALL! We have to move at the beggining of December... So in all reality we may not be ready until after I'm 37 weeks...

    Your doing better than me!

    My nursery isn't done either.  DH and his friend are going to paint the second coat and hang the border paper today.  My crib is put together, but the dresser isn't.  Its still sitting in the box, in our hallway.  I haven't even thought about packing my hospital bag, nor is my carseat installed.  All of LO's clothes are washed, but they are not organized as I'm waiting for the dresser to be put together.

    In a nutshell, you're not alone.  You still have plenty of time left.

    I'm 34 weeks, and still don't have anything done.  All I have ready is the baby furniture, but I haven't painted, washed clothes, installed a car seat or packed a hospital bag.  I don't even have a lot of clothes.  Just a couple of sleepers and a pack or two of onesies. I'll probably start getting on the ball within the next week or so.  That reminds me...I should add 'inflate birthing ball' to my list so I can literally get on it and help my back pain!

    I'm 30 weeks and while I have bought a few things for the nursery - none of it has been assembled or arranged.  DH is building the crib and the kid may be in high school by the time it is done.  I own some clothes, but not really the most practical kind and certainly not washed.  I am a little worried, but I know it will get done in time.  Our first shower is this weekend and second is three weeks after that.  Once that is all done we will know what we still need to get and go from there.

    Um, you still have 2.5 months until your due date. That's more than enough time to get all of that stuff done. Seriously. And I wouldn't pack my hospital bag til I was much further along. Mine is still only 1/2 done because I can't decide what I want to wear home. Just breathe.

    Thanks for letting me know i am not alone, i guess i just needed a slap from the Elders to know that i still have forever to go, and it's not a big panic!

    If you look in my blog you will see the current condition of our nursery- I am slightly freaking out over this so don't feel bad. Also, I haven't even thought about a hospital bag and probably won't for another 6 weeks. I think you have plenty of time.

    We aren't ready either. Don't freak out. We are moving mid-November, so we won't even begin to set things up until then...Maybe not the smartest idea, but you gotta do whatcha gotta do....It only takes a little while to throw some clothes in the wash, and if LO decides to come before you are ready, you can always have DH make some shopping trips! No worries!

    Our nursery still isn't done.

    You have 10 weeks for your bag. Chill.

    My belly button hasn't popped either and honestly, I hope it doesn't.

    Try to relax... you don't need a crib right away or even a designated "baby room" right away. As long as you have a place for the baby to sleep he/she will be just fine, you could get an inexpensive bassinett to keep in your room until you get the baby's room ready. as far as washing clothing, i am actually waiting until after my baby shower to do that (I will be 33 weeks at that point). Hospital bag, I wouldn't worry about that now, you have 10 weeks to pack! Maybe if you just write a list of what you want to go in your bag and put it on the fridge, you'll feel a bit better?

    everything will work out just fine :-)
