Is everyone ready for the new arrival?

[kadesmummy]

All i've got to do is wash the moses basket sheets/blankets etc and the bouncy seat cover and that's me.. totally ready.

Had mine and little one's hospital bags packed for a couple of weeks now.

I seem to be aiming towards getting everything ready for 37 weeks, rather than 40 weeks lol.

Sounds like you're really organised. I feel like I am, but still got a bit to do. Need to pack hospital bags, wash crib sheets, iron last load of baby clothes. Plus I have loads of other stuff to organise in the house before he comes, we just found a huge patch of damp , so the baby really needs to stay in until we get that sorted. xx

 

[Jen & Her Men]

well we have pretty much everything from when we had James. Its just a question of getting it all out and wipe down. I have washed all James's baby clothes and they are hanging in Olivers wardrobe now

All we need to get are nappies. Everything else we already have from James!

Poor kid and his hand-me-downs already!

 

[Vicki83]

I'm nowhere near blooming ready,l but I've still got plenty time left!

*Hopefully I don't jinx myself by saying that!*

 

[mum2A&L]

Im really scared as well.... my hormones seem to even more all over the place this past week and im so up and down its unreal. One moment I get this grin on my face thinking about what it will be like when I get to meet him and the next time im sat wanting to or crying about the fact of "can I cope" and then I think 12 weeks and then labour b4 I even get him, can I cope with labour etc etc my heads a whirlwind at the min....

 

[pickled_onion]

I don't know if I'm ready or not, tbh. Practically - I've only got a few little bits and bobs left to buy. Haven't prepared a bag yet. Nor have we visited the birthing centre and decided for sure if we're having bub there but I think we are. Heh. Waiting for my nesting instinct to kick in. Need to blitz house. Hope the nesting instinct will help in that regard cos, as it stands, I don't feel overly motivated to clean.

Emotionally - I feel a bit overwhelmed to be honest. Alternating between impatience/wanting to meet him or her and hoping I go overdue so that I've got more time

OMG hun seriously i could have writen that! thats exactly how im feeling! this morning i was sat almost in tears wondering if i'd be able to love my LO enough, then this afternoon im washing all her clothes, thinking about how cute she's going to look, and counting the days till i meet her.

Yip exactly like me hun I sometimes think while im doing baby stuff that im doing it so as not to sit down and think about the labour too much, ya know? but then I look in my wardrobe and see his little bits hanging up and think awwww I cant wait. I think its just all of the "un known" if you know what I mean

 

[Betula]

We got pretty much the last of what we need yesterday. We just need to wait for the cloth nappies and cot to be delivered now. We realised we should be prepared when we heard that someone we know, who was due at the same time as me, had her baby a few days ago.

 

[JoanneC]

I have still got quite a few things left to get yet.I should really be more prepared though as went into labour at 30 weeks with my first child out of the blue and I am now 27 weeks with my third.
I am ok for clothes as kept all of my daughter's but still to get the pushchair and a few other things.
Must get organised!

 

[Aida]

The baby's bag is ready but mine isn't yet. Emotionally for me it's like a roller coaster as well

I'm all excited one min and scared to death the next. I'm always full of questions and doubts and anxious I won't be good enough as a mummy or that I will harm my baby in any way....

 

[nikkix]

Almost there, cot is being delivered tomorrow and then were about ready wanted to get ready early

 

[JayK2387]

I am NOT ready... at all..

oh god xx
