Does anyone else feel so unorganised for baby?

[Crystalwings]

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.

Lucky the only thing a newborn REALLY needs is milk and somewhere to sleep, lol! Oh and clean clothes I guess, hehe!

Eek! I am 31 weeks this week and wasn't worried at all until I read this post and realised, I have no idea when I should have my bags packed and everything ready by?!
:-)

And we are moving house in a couple of weeks too so I can't do anything about bub's room until our settlement is done and we get our keys. Then have to get DH to paint it and set it all up etc. (tho I do have all the clothes washed and only 2 things left on my shopping list)

Not to mention having whooping cough or Bronchitis, I won't find out which I have til I get my results this week!

So I know how u feel xoxo

Hun, the most important thing for you to do is rest by the sounds of it. If all you need is a couple of things for baby then I wouldn't be at all worried. As for hossy bags, with DS I didn't pack mine til about 38ish weeks. As I said before all a newborn really needs is boobys or bottles, enough clean clothes to wear and a place to sleep (which can be your bed!). Just rest up for now, it sounds like you have a really big few weeks ahead, not mentioning a new baby coming!!

I have a room full of empty cardboard boxes. With a pram in it. So, nope, not organised. We do have clothes but they either need to be seriously washed or still have tags attached (and still need to be washed). I finished uni a couple of weeks ago and we moved house that weekend so it's taken a while to get the house organised. I still feel like I have aaagggeeeesss to go though! But I guess it's not really that long!

This is totally us. Planning a HB we've had stuff we had to get sorted, like the birth pool, and we've managed to do that. I've finally got all bags packed and clothes and things pretty well sorted though I think this baby will need more clothes... but I'm planning on just waiting and seeing what we want/are given now. We haven't set up any baby space- they willsleep with us so that's that really I've focused on having loads of meals in the freezer, and my post-natal care sorted instead this time!

Oh yay I'm not the only one! Thanks all for the reassurance.

Lilias you are right, boobies and sleep is all she will need.

Bron.nt sorry to put you into a panic too! I agree get better first and then it will all fall into place.

Im 37 weeks tomorrow and i am not ready at all!!! my poor little man still doesnt even have curtains in his room yet lol
I started a pile last night of things i need to pack for the hospital !!
this is the most dis organised i have ever ever been!!

[tinkerbelle]

YES! I had been feeling exactly the same way... but now for medical reasons I have no choice but to stay calm and relaxed! And Im forced to rest and cant do anything! Relying on hubby and family to pack bags and buy everything I need for the hospital, and to get everything ready for the baby which is pretty frustrating because they are so much slower at it than me.. but at least Im getting to relax. In terms of meals in the freezer which I had planned to do.. that wont be happening now, so I will just have to do what I can when I get home from the hospy!
I learned the hard way that I was doing way too much for a pregnant woman.
Its so important to relax these last few weeks so make sure you do!!!!! Thats my primary focus now..
Ive had to learn to ask for help and thats its ok to do so!

Makes me feel more at ease.. :-)

It is so strange, the time goes so slow, then near the end it creeps up so quickly :-)
