Wellllllll.....

in March 2013 Moms

My ticker is a little fast. I am 35 weeks today and officially FREAKING out! The baby could essentially come at any time at this point! The nursery is about 80% done...but its NOT. The name is about 80% sure...but its NOT. I have not attended a single lamaze class, BFing class, and I know NOTHING about babies :( I planned to do so much and it just never happened!!!!

I am excited to be a mom, but I just feel so overwhelmed and I honestly still don't feel like it is really happening. I feel a baby kicking around, buying baby stuff etc...but when will it feel real??? I am beginning to worry that I might not bond properly??? Ughh freaking out :(

    I have my name picked out but you have wayyyy more done then I do in the nursery.  My furniture hasn't come yet (due next week), all of her stuff is piled in my garage and her bedroom.  There is nothing hung up all we really have done is paint and her closet has some cloths in it.  I didn't do any classes or hospital tour.  I found a pedi but that's it. 

    I was stressed earlier today about how I am not ready. My mom was supposed to come over tomorrow to help me organize but thanks to the blizzard that probably isn't going to happen.

    Thankfully, I have a great dh and family that would take care of stuff to make sure the necessities were ready for me if she comes early.  I am sure you do too! The Dr and nurses will tell me what to do when I am in labor. The hospital staff and your family/friends will explain things to you before you leave.  I am sure you know more then you think and the rest comes with time.  You have to figure out what works for you and your baby.  Things will be ok.

    Stay calm.  Having your first child is a major learning process.  You will learn.  You and your baby will actually learn together.  I would make sure you have at least 1 book about baby's first year.  I never went to a Lamaze class but did do a tour of the hospital and did a 3 hour course on the basics of child birth (just 4 weeks before my due date).  The baby won't really sleep in the crib for a while.  My son slept in a bassinet for the first few months (the crib was too huge).  The nursery doesn't have to be done before you have the baby.  I moved everything around after having my first because it took having my baby and caring him for a few weeks to figure out the best set up.  It will all work out.  Take care.

    All you need is a few outfits, your boobies, and diapers. Nothing can truly prepare you to become a mom before the baby gets here...and most of the gear doesn't mean much in the very, very beginning anyway. It'll all work out :

    If it makes you feel better im 35 and a half weeks and have less done than you. I too had a freak out, but at the end of the day I can't control when LO comes. So I'm just going to keep working on getting prepared and hopefully wrap up soon, but if not we will learn as we go! I at least have a PNP for our bedroom and the carseat, so if she came tmo that's covered.
