I have 15 days approx to go. I have not packed my bags, babies clothes are still in containers and I really am not organised yet. I am getting excited and am trying to get things done with 3 other children. But thats just it, I have 3 other children and feel like once I have finished caring for them there is no time/energy left to nest/get organised. I feel this bubs will arrive while I am still two steps behind. I am assuming this is normal or am I having a bad day and getting nervous by the ticking clock.
Better get to bed so I can hopfully get sleep/energy to get things done tomorrow. Another day down.
Looking forward to baby #4
Sounds normal to me and I only have 1 to look after. I have about 3 and a half weeks to go and though the baby's clothes are washed (and have been for almost 2 weeks), they aren't folded or put away. The bubs will be sharing the room with us for the first couple of months so we have put the cot in there but that's it.
My DH is starting to get a bit antsy about my bags being packed so I might do that sometime this week but just can't get the energy to do it.
I am no where near ready to have a baby yet, i'm only 24 weeks, but im actually doing a lil stocktake today to see what we need etc. Will be bringing the cot in in the next week so i can give it a good scrub and clean (easier to do with only 1 though)
I would suggest you get your little angels to help you do stuff. My DD wants to help do everything from cleaning, to puting stuff in the washer and dryer and even folding and puting away (i've trained her well, lmao)
Ok, I have organised with my friend who is like a nanny to the ch. to take them Monday so I can get stuck into baby's clothes and the last few jobs. I think having 3 children and being preg all adds up. Will let you know what progress I make.
I know exactly how you feel, feel like you need to be ready but just can't quiet get there. I'm still not ready yet either. I hope you enjoy your day by yourself
That's why you need to start on all that stuff nice and early. I was always worried I'd go early so I did the clothes washing and bag packing way early. I ended up with nothing to do in my week and a half of mat leave before bubs arrived. I of course had no kids in the house (except for my DstepD coming and going which is quite different), so I can't imagine how busy you must be with 3 kids already. Great idea getting your friend to help out, you will be organised in no time at all.
In last days
