What do you have left to buy?

[tallulah73]

Ive just tried to log on to the Babies R Us website to buy the last few things for LO and the site is under construction...typical, i was really looking forward to some online shopping today.

Anyway im sure there must be some little essentials ive forgotten so it gives me time to have a think about anything i might of missed.

Is everyone else all prepared and ready or do you still have things to get???.....

Funnily enough I NEVER iron, DH has to iron his own shirts!! Yet I spent hours ironing LO's clothes

I've not really got to buy any baby stuff because I've got it all from ds. I do however need to get the moses basket, baby clothes, car seat etc out of the garage & wash it all. I do need to get some newborn dummies and my slings (that MIL is paying for ).

I still haven't really thought about a hospital bag either so still need to get some cheap knickers, maternity pads & breast pads. I need to get the birth pool back off my sister (we bought it jointly ) and get a new liner. I need some waterproof sheets for the house ready for my home birth and a nice soft new towel to wrap baby in when it's first born. I want a big dark t-shirt to labour in and some new slippers just in case I end up in hospital. And some ibuprofen for afterwards .

Ooh and a box for the baby's memory box - we did one for ds so need something similar.

I hadn't realised there was so much! I have to get organised!

i am all sorted now i am thinking about getting a sensor mat and possibly a sling will have to see next payday as i have to get daddy a crimbo present from bubs lol

Only after reading this post have i realised i've got quite a bit left.

I need to buy nappies, cot bedding, still no travel system and car seat and haven't got a baby bag yet. I think that's it actually. Other than that LO's stuff is ready.

I havent bought anything for myself yet apart from toiletries and some slippers (which were a birthday present from my sis).

Hmmmmm looks like i better get a move on yesterday midwife said make sure your bags are packed and i just sorta smiled
