I'm 32 weeks, have no bags packed and the nursery is still just an empty room with piles. Piles for me, piles for the baby, and piles of books that I was hoping to have time to read pre-baby (meaning baby-related books). Oh, and nothing has been washed. I've been waiting for a sunny Saturday or Sunday to wash all the baby things and the only sunny one in ages I couldn't take advantage of as we had plans to be out all day. We have the furniture and car seat all ordered and it's in but I haven't had time to arrange for delivery. I'm also working full time up until 38 weeks. I have no idea how this will all get done, but what I do have are lists...lists make me feel like I have everything in control - if baby comes early, DH could take my list and get everything in order as well as get my bags packed if need be.
I am feeling the rising tide of not ready yet-ness!!
DH has paint all over the carpet in the nursery which isn't finished so no cot/change table has been put together. And isn't going to have it done just yet because he's often busy/away.
No car seats - which I have compromised on and decided if we can at least get one for DH's car then we can bring monkey home from the hospital.
No bags or anything packed and ready, at least we have nappies, but no baby products or anything else...
It's a bizarre thing... you feel like you have all this time to prepare and then suddenly feel completely unprepared.
