AT 31 weeks I felt pretty disorganised; had packed a very basic hospital bag but not much else. The DH's nesting instinct kicked in one Sunday and it all got done in one day, the biggest of the stuff anyway. And it was only about 2 weeks ago that we could say we were ready - when the curtains were up in the nursery.
It'll be fine though. Get through your exams; the rest will fall into place.
Yep, I feel terribly disorganised. We are still yet to paint the baby's room from the horrible yellow colour it is at the moment. Baby has no change table or chest of drawers and I'm not sure when we will be able to afford to get those, so I still haven't washed his clothes because I have no where to put them besides in his cot. He doesn't have a car seat yet because DD is still in it, and I have to get her a booster seat to swap them over. We don't even have a car to put it into, which is why we haven't done anything about it yet. I havent even thoguht about buying nappies or anything for hospital, or what to pack yet. Though I'm not quite 30wks yet, I just feel totally disorganised.
At 37 weeks I had nothing organized much to my concern and frustration at DH. He kept telling me we had a few weeks. At 37+1 my waters broke so I immediately sent DH off to pick up the car seat and get it installed. Whilst he was doing that I packed my hospital bag.
DS is now almost 14 weeks and his room is still not ready but he's in a basinette in our room so it's working out fine.
Good luck with your exams and then focusing on your babes arrival.
my water broke with DD2 at 35 weeks and i was in hospital for a few days, i had 2 days to organise literally everything!!!
this time everything except the car seat is done, including hospital bags for both of us! not rushing again lol
I didn't have a room for DS, I just had DD's cot in my room but we ended up co-sleeping. As far as packing I had 3 or 4 of both 00000 & 00000 suits in a bag. Everything else for hospital got packed when my waters broke.
ETA- we put DD's new carseat in the car 2 weeks before DS was born because she vomited in the convertible one & I had to take it out & wash it. We put it back together & back in the car just before we left for the hospital
Yes i'm only 27wks but feel very disorganised. I think i'm also stressed about everything being more crazy this time round ie having a 2 yr old to clean up after constantly as well. i'm trying not to let it worry me to much but can't help it. I'm still working as well and with xmas and new yr taking up so much time it feels as though i won't get everything done. Having said that i just want dh to do the moving of furniture etc and get the main stuff done so that when i give up work i can spend time on the finishing touches such as washing and folding clothes. I don't want to be totally bored at the end. Dh is away until next monday though and by then i will be in the third trimester so will definatly be trying to achieve some major stuff then.
