I think I tackled #s 1,2 and 3 about a month before my son was born (but he was born early, so I guess I had it all done between 33 and 35 weeks. Around 33 weeks is when I started seriously nesting, and *needed* to get everything done (or I would have driving myself and my husband crazy).
I started stocking my freezer at 37 weeks (as soon as I finished working)... but only got 3 days into it when I had the baby.
1.) When did you pack your hospital bag? Since we planned a home birth I didn't have one packed. Joey ran to grab things that were on the list (made that at 32 or 33w) when I was at the hospital preparing to be induced
2.) When did you wash baby's clothes? I washed a few things before he was born but most of it after he was born and we knew what he would fit into. Now I wash it when he is ready to wear it.
3.) When was your nursery set up by? We finished it probably around 37-38w or so.
4.) If you did freezer meals, when did you start/finish those? I made chicken with marinade on it and that is about it. I found that we really didn't need them and had more than enough time to actually make dinner.
1.) When did you pack your hospital bag? Most of it was ready 3-4 weeks before my due date. I added toiletries and some food as I was going in.
2.) When did you wash baby's clothes? About a month before my due date. I did it in stages so that it didn't seem like so much work.
3.) When was your nursery set up by? We started the month before DS was born, and finished the week before.
4.) If you did freezer meals, when did you start/finish those? Never did them. I did stock the shelves with toilet paper, paper towels, toiletries, pantry items, etc., because I didn't want to have to run out for them for a while after DS was born.
Re: Wednesday QOTD
I don't have any suggestions but I have some questions if anyone wants to answer
1.) When did you pack your hospital bag?
2.) When did you wash baby's clothes?

Some suggestions for further questions;
What was the most helpful thing someone did for you when your LO was born.
What was the most helpful to you in labour?
How did you find your mom's group?
What are you looking forward to doing with LO this spring? this summer?
What is the best part about raising your baby where you live?
I like your QOTD, we need to get this board hopping!
