How prepared are you..

MrsKEG · November 2009

for LO's arrival? Like how much more do you have to buy for the nursery? Are you doing Lamaze classes?

I feel so unprepared and I need to know I am not alone.

rchelone · November 2009

Nowhere near prepared! But I'll be there soon. We aren't buying anything until after our shower (Dec 21st).

SoldiersHousewife · November 2009

I have a lot to do. I only have 3 long sleeve onesies. Everything else I still need to get. So no, you're definitely not alone.

sleepingbeauty825 · November 2009

Completely unprepared. My kid has a crib, and bedding. That's all. I'm waiting until the shower to get a lot more.

kdiaisfly · November 2009

I have nothing for the nursery. Haven't been reading that many books either. It was a surprise pregnancy so I'm still not ready to accept the fact that I'm going to be a mother lol. I'm going to get on it tho! I'm going to take a birthing class bc I want to go natural and a childcare class as well. We just moved across the country so I don't even have a doctor here in Chicago yet, I'm trying to not let it all stress me out. I'm an extreme procrastinator

I have almost nothing done. And the only things that are done were not my doing. I have some clothes, a swing, and a pack-n-play that were all hand-me-downs, and the the room that will be the nursery is halfway cleaned out, but that's all DH's stuff. So, yeah, you're not alone.

lindsaynjason · November 2009

Well, she has a painted room, some clothes, and a travel system, but nothing else. We probably won't buy much else until after Christmas. My first shower is Jan. 30.

No, I'm not doing Lamaze. The only class I will probably take will be a breastfeeding class.

I have nothing, and have done nothing Embarrassed

I'm being a procrastinator and waiting till Janurary :P

lynsey851 · November 2009

i havent done really anything!! barely started a registry and prob wont buy anything until after my shower. we are trying to move, so we havent bought any baby furniture since we dont know where we will be. i hate it though! i dont like feeling unprepared...so your deifnately NOT alone!!

taagent · November 2009

Not prepared. We have a crib but no mattress, no bedding, a couple of sleep outfits but that is it.

cmritchie · November 2009

Definitely not prepared. I have bought quite a bit but it's all in the states and won't make it here until mid Jan. However, I guess I do have the room cleaned out, a travel system and some clothes. A start I suppose. Don't stress, you'll have plenty of time to get everything together.

BelleIsa · November 2009

Hmmm, well, we have bought:

-a crib, mattress and bedding

-change table & changing pad

But that's it. Both DH's and my parents are divorced and remarried, so they all want to buy us stuff (first grandchild for all sides). So far, they have pitched in: travel system, sling & baby carrier, swing and my mom is making a quilt and bumper pads for the crib.

I figure after the shower (which I guess will be mostly clothes and other knick knacks I need) we'll have most of everything we need and the only other thing I'll need to get are cloth diapers.

Kanne0729 · November 2009

Not prepared at all yet! All we have so far is the crib, nursery set, and a bunch of baby clothes. We have A LOT to get yet.

ali_bl-nov05 · November 2009

All I have is some clothes received as gifts.

leigh517 · November 2009

i feel perpetually underprepared. we ordered our furniture, bought a car seat and snap and go and a playpen with bassinet...otherwise, nothing and i'm getting more nervous every day. you're definitely not alone! we have our childbirth class set up for starting in january!

AnotherChance · November 2009

We're totally unprepared at this point. The nursery is still full of junk, we haven't purchased the furniture or hardly anything else, we haven't taken classes or researched pediatricians, etc. We're buying furniture in December, other stuff in January/February, and I'll worry about classes and peds after the holidays.

izziebee · November 2009

We have only registered..that's about it. I'm waiting for my shower to really do anything and that is on 1/24 (I'm due 3/18).

FemmeNat01 · November 2009

I have not bought ANYTHING or even considered buying anything. I am in denial....

salinaterri · November 2009

I think I'm cutting it REALLY close. I have bought clothes for the first 3 months...hopefully I'll get bigger clothes at the shower and other things. My shower is January 15th and my due date is Feb. 23; I couldn't schedule any sooner, those damn holidays are taking up most of the time.

We're barely buying the crib this week, but we are not going to put it together until we paint the room and Lord know when that will be.

FutureMrsDavidson · November 2009

The only thing I have bought is a breast pump. I'm waiting to find out what I'm having and that won't be until the first week of december. I'm so ready to start buying stuff.

lildevil968 · November 2009

We are buying the furniture on black friday, but other than that we have NOTHING!

MrsHT · November 2009

Furniture is ordered, fabric is purcahsed and have someone who will make the bedding. we have started the registerty but I am doing research on different things as they come up. Our goal is to be done with the registry by the end of the year and the nursery by mid Jan. Books...hahaha I probably should start reading some of those.

Kim B. · November 2009

We don't have a single thing...

Madison789 · November 2009

I don't really see that you need to have that much stuff. We have a car seat, used cradle with bumper and sheet, 12 cloth diapers and wipes, 5 bottles, and some used t-shirts and sleepers. What more could you possibly need at the beginning? The stores are always open and willing to sell you anything you want so it's not like you need to stock up before the birth. We're not having a shower.......
