The one thing I learned from being a mother is that kids are like snowflakes, no 2 are the same Chat Icon

The more I think I know, the more I laugh at myself Chat Icon

In the end it will all work out ( well at least thats what I keep trying to tell myself Chat Icon )

I have some time but I feel like I'm not worrying about doing anything when I should be. I think I will be in the exact same place in 2 months that I am now Chat Icon

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

I haven't dont anything yet for the second baby. I had my baby shower at around 32 weeks so I think I also had nothing done at this time with the first pregnancy. I'm 30 weeks.

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

I think we are on track....I have been very anal about getting stuff done. I just have this overwhelming feeling this little man is coming early. We set up the bassinet today, I have all his clothes washed. Next on my agenda is to pack my bag, put together the swing and bouncer, install the carseat base. I am getting exhausted really quick these days, so when I get a burst of energy, I try to get a lot done.

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

We have 9 weeks and the nursery is barely started! It was my "craft" room which was loaded to the max with scrapbooking stuff. I have been trying to pack stuff away and waiting for friends to come and take stuff that I just can't store. Right now we are waiting on my uncle to come and do the lighting and fan and then we can start painting. But with DS #1 his room was done when I was like 6 months pregnant! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon So to answer your question..... we are WAY behind!

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

Funny u posted this.....this is just the issue that kept me awake for about 2 hours last night. I had DS at 30 weeks and I will be 30 weeks with this baby on Tuesday so in my skewed mind this baby can come at any time, and DS is still not in his big boy room and nothing is done for the new baby. I am starting to freak out a little ......

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

I think I'm a little of both. I'm behind on some things but ahead on others.

I'm using everything from #1, the car seat, swing, bouncy seat..etc.

She'll be in our room until she can STTN, so I made sure to buy a PNP for her months ago.

I've slowly been picking things up here and there. I'm about 34 weeks so I'm glad I still have time left to get some things done.

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

I'm doing better than I thought I would be! I am due March 30. We aren't changing the paint or carpet in his nursery so that is easy. We are going to clear it out the first weekend of February and may get the carpet steam-cleaned. Furniture is ordered and should be here in beginning to mid February. The double-stroller is here. I bought bedding a few clothes for the new baby. I still have a few more miscellaneous things to buy him but will probably wait until end of February to do that.

I was way more behind with #1!

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

Yes...but we made some progress this weekend. DS's new room will be completely painted today so he can probably move in next weekend. Then we need to install a closet system in his room and repaint his old room. Baby #2's crib came today and I already bought the bedding for it.

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

3rd for me too and with 11 weeks to go the only thing I have are names for Chat Icon .

I think I settled on bedding one for each gender and now I just need to order them so I can pick out the paint.

Furniture, I can't decide on what I like. Actually, not true, I found a brand (Romina) but it is very $$.

The guest room will be the nursery and needs a cleaning out but DH needs to help me move some things out.

Over all I feel very unprepared.

I'm in the same boat though I have a little more time... 3rd baby, 26 weeks, NOTHING done! I was a little behind on things when I had my 2nd daughter but everything got done in time. This time, I'll be lucky to have anything done!

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

I'm only 12 weeks so I dont have anything at all done but I think its pretty common to feel this way. I feel totally overwhelmed when I think about getting stuff ready for this baby!

Re: 2nd time mommies...are you behind on stuff?

This is baby number 3, and I have done nothingChat Icon I do want a new infant seat, so I am going to order that soon, though I was to go gender specific this time, so I am going to order 2. We do have a room for the baby, but aren't decorating it, because it will depend on what the baby is.

The only thing that I feel stressed about and am focusing on are names...but I better get my butt in gear!!!
