Re: when did you start getting everything ready?

I just had my baby at 36 weeks. I was planning on doing it on maternity leave and the day I went into labor was my last day before maternity leave. I say start now!

Re: when did you start getting everything ready?

I'm 35 weeks with my third and just started. I need to get a bag together just in case. Plan on washing clothes in the next week or so.

I never went early with my other two. I was a day early with my first and 6 days late with my second. I feel like this one will be early so I'm starting to get things done.

I'm 36w3d and haven't washed anything yet. DH keeps asking me if I packed my hospital bag, which is still a negative, lol. I'm gonna try to start this week.

With my first I think I had everything washed and ready by about 32 weeks!

Right now I'm 37 weeks with #2 and we just took out some of the baby stuff (rock and play, tummy time mat, boppy, etc). I washed some of the clothes, but I still have one more load of clothes and burp clothes that need to be washed. Hoping to do it over the next couple of days. And if I go into labor before that happens, I'll just tell DH or whoever is staying with DS to wash them for me.

I am 34w tomoro.
eventho we are Jewish we have been setting things up little by little. we are so damn LAZY that the only way to have the 2 of us get anything done is by trying to do one little thing each time LOL
I am taking a week off next week and plan to have a lot done then - to set up crib, hang a tapestry and shelves, laundry some of the stuff we already got, wash the stroller (we got a used one from a family member).

Havent figured out the pediatrician situation yet, which is giving me a bit of anxiety. DH was in charge of that and it kinda tapered off. Need to get on that as well.

Re: when did you start getting everything ready?

I'm 30 weeks and just started going through DS #1's old clothes this past weekend. My dad is making furniture for the new baby's room but it isn't ready yet, so I can't organize too much yet. All I've really done is figure out which stuff we can pack away for a while longer (anything over 12 month size). Next weekend I will probably start washing things like the infant car seat insert, swing liner, cradle bedding, crib sheets/bedding and things like that.

With my first DS, I think I had my hospital bag ready by 35-36 weeks. Can't be too prepared, IMO. You never know!

Re: when did you start getting everything ready?

I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow. We have the room painted but that's about it. We ordered the furniture in February but it was on back order. I'm really hoping it get's delivered to the store by next week but that doesn't really help because my shower is also next weekend.

After my shower, I will wash clothes and DH will install the base of the car seat around the 36 wk mark.
