Still haven't packed my hospital bag...

in February 2012 Moms

Nine days until my due date and I just can't make myself pack this bag!  It is one of the last things I need to do and I feel like if I put it off maybe she won't come early...or maybe it still isn't real?

Such odd thoughts huh!  I just can't imagine that in less than two weeks (hopefully!) we will be parents!

    I just packed mine last week, and BF just packed his yesterday.  So you're not alone!!  Our procrastination was pretty much from laziness.  And, we knew we'd (most likely) have time to pack once I went into labor.

    I have about three weeks to go and haven't really packed mine either. I have the little essentials packed (bra, older undies, pads), but nothing big like PJs and actual clothing. For my babe, I keep changing the outfits I want to take with me. lol

    Mine isn't packed either. I had it packed by like 35 weeks with DD, but I never went into labor on my own and was induced at 42 weeks. So I just can't be bothered. I don't believe it's ever actually going to happen, and I need the clothes to wear right now that I'd pack anyway. Sigh.

    We haven't packed ours yet either!  It's mostly laziness.  I know we need to get it done, but it's low on the list of priorities.  I figure we'll have time to do it once labor starts, but I also need to go out and buy some things for it, and I'd really rather not do that in labor.  

    Last night I was having a million BH contractions, and H finally took it out of the closet.  So now it's empty in the living room, but I guess that's a step in the right direction :)

    Yeah, mine is on the chair in the nursery but all I have thrown in it so far is a list of things to pack!

    I feel the same way! Last time I bought doubles of all my toiletries so I could have my bag packed early. This time, I think I'll just pack when I'm in labor.  I do have a list of things not to forget though.

    I had only packed a little before we thought I was going into labor last week. I was having contractions every 14 minutes for several hours, so we finished packing then. Don't worry, you'll get it done.  I was procrastinating too.

    I've been thinking I need to pack mine for awhile and haven't done it.  I'll probably be in the same boat.

    I'm due in 9 days and havent even taken the bag out yet.  I have LO's clothes all ready to go, sitting on my dresser.  I figure (and hope) that I'll have time during labor to pack it all up.  I keep all of my "travel toiletries" packed in a closet for when we go away, so I know I can just grab that bag and put it in the suitcase.  So I guess that helps alleviate some of the stress.

    DH and I just packed last night and that was only because I was having contractions and a lot of pressure.  Since they've stopped and everything's back to normal, I think I need to re-do the bag because he was throwing stuff in it like a mad man.  We live 3 minutes from the hospital so if we forget something, he (or family) can come get it.  You'd think that after trying to have a baby for 3 years and she's finally almost here, we'd be 100% ready by this point.  Her room's not even ready (decor wise).  Crib is up and clothes are washed but that's it.

    I'm in the same mind frame as you.  If I pack and finish her room, it's real.  She's really coming and I'm really going to be responsible for someone else.  It's still completely surreal to me.
