Re: July Mommies....
I am right there with you.
C-section July 8th
this is #2
I have a 2 year old (turned 2 on Saturday)
I haven't done ANYTHING 
DS's room is just getting worked on and then we'll do the nursery. I still have to shop for a layette, take out DS's clothes (neutral and boy since we're team green), we have to put together the swing, bouncy, bassinet, etc
So much to do and just weeks away!! Plus, DH and I WFT.

C-section scheduled for July 14 unless I go into labor before than to attempt VBAC.
DS is 3 years old (Happy Birthday to your DS ) and I am too tired from work and then spending time with DS to do anything - I need to do everything you just mentioned plus DS will be sharing the room with DC#2 so I have to organize and set up. We bought the crib but haven't picked it up from the store

Re: July Mommies....
This is my 1st .. and I feel like I'm nowhere near ready. I'm due July 19th.. and I keep hearing all these girls delivering like 3-4 weeks early and I'm getting extremely anxious and scared.
We haven't even ordered a crib yet.. but I figured that since the baby is going to be sleeping in the basinet for now, that we still have time.. fingers crossed!

Re: July Mommies....
I am due July 14th with my first.
DH is still getting the nursery ready, it is ready for paint and carpet this week, he just finished priming.
We were told our furniture is delayed until beginning of July which I am upset about cause I can't put anything away in the dresser or hang anything up till it comes ( we ordered it in April so ladies who are or will be looking for furniture give yourself more than 3 months time)
My shower is Saturday so I will be organizing, buying and returning next week.

Re: July Mommies....
I'm due July 24th with my first...we have the nursery ready (painted & furniture) and that's about it. I have Lamaze on June 18th (8 hour long super class) and I haven't had my shower yet so once that happens I'll feel alot more prepared! In a few weeks I'm going to make my bag just so I'm well prepared. BTDT moms what else should I be doing?

I'm feeling the same way regarding going into labor early!! Every cramp, ache, Braxton Hick, discharge  I'm worried that I am going early!

Re: July Mommies....
im due july 14th with my first.
the nursery is painted and we're waiting on the furniture to be delivered. my shower is next weekend, so the rest of my June will consist of cleaning, washing everything, organizing and helping DH build whatever we need to set up. my last day of work is July 1st, so i can't wait to just relax at home, get a haircut & mani/pedi and just wait for our little girl to arrive.

Re: July Mommies....
Due the 25th with #2 but hoping to schedule my c section tomorrow for the week before..so maybe around 7/18?
Anyway, I also have NOTHING done to get ready for this baby. I was just saying to DH last night that I feel really bad because by this point last time, we had the room brand new and totally ready, all the clothes ready, started to pack my bag etc. I have done nothing this time! I need to maybe get DH to pull out the newborn clothes bin and go through it to at least get me started. Then work on figuring out a double stroller and um, a name! yeah we have no name yet! that is kind of important!!!

Re: July Mommies....
Im due July 30...& my shower isnt until July9th! It was the only day that fit into my schedule and my mom/sisters. So not until then will I really be running around like a looney trying to get everything washed sorted and prepared! My last day of work was going to be July 15th-- but man with this heat I think I may have to change that to July 1!!!
Ok after writting this Im starting to freak about not being prepared at all!!!!

Re: July Mommies....
I am with you ladies! Time is flying by!
Due July 19 with #1 but I have a feeling I might go a few days early. LMP Was Oct. 4 which would make July 11th 40 weeks.
Either way, starting to panic but we have mostly everything we need. It's just a matter of putting it all together. The shower was last month but all the big ticket items are still in their boxes, no clothing is washed, the furniture is in the house but the nursery is still a mess. Walls are spackled. Hoping to get the painting done by the weekend. Going to get the bedding between today/tomorrow. Carpet has been rolled up in the living room for several weeks.
We took our first childbirth class last night (3 more sessions which will end June 21). We are 99% set on a name which is good.
There's just so much to do still!
ETA: And we haven't even started the Christening process (we'd like for it to be asap after LO is born). Haven't even agreed on godparents yet!

I've done everything. Just perusing the internet for more wall art for the nursery, but all the big stuff is completed. Just have to drag my suitcase up to my closet to start packing for the hospital.

Re: July Mommies....
i got myself pajamas for the hospital, bought a hat, and dug out DS1's coming home outfit so DS2 can wear it. We got DS1 a toddler bed and we're starting the transition. I have to move a file cabinet in the corner of my bedroom for the bassinet, but that's about it!

that was us with DS. WE didn't have anything and our layette was at Denny's.
This time with #2 I told DH I have to buy stuff b/c we really have everything in the house anyway, but he's still a little supersticious. LOL

Re: July Mommies....
We are not ready at all. We are still getting the nursery ready. We still have to sand the floor and paint. I am not too worried about it though because the baby will be with us in the bassinet when he/she comes home. We have the names picked out. I got pj's for the hospital. I just have to pack for the hospital and finish the nursery. The furniture will be coming the first week in July.

Re: July Mommies....
This will be our first. My due date is July 9th but right now the baby is breech. We have a section scheduled for July 6th so that will be our day unless this baby flips!
The nursery is done (carpet, paint, etc.) but we are still waiting on the furniture. We have put together a few items but still need to wash clothes, pack hospital bags, install car seats, etc. We also have to make a final decision about our pediatrican but I think we are going with Seaford Pediatrics. I'm definitely starting to get really excited but also really nervous/anxious as well...our lives are about to change forever :) I can't believe we will become parents...next month! Craziness!

Re: July Mommies....
I can't believe that I will be a mommy next month! Time has flown. I had my shower and got so many wonderful gifts-- I feel like we are in relatively good shape. I am just trying to keep these girls healthy and hoping for a mid-late July delivery.

Re: July Mommies....
Can't believe it either. I'm due July 1st and I feel like we still have soooo much to do. So far we set the crib up last week. My shower is this Sunday so once that's over we'll see what else we need and go from there. I still need to pack my bag, clean/organize. Yeah theres a lot to do this month

Re: July Mommies....
Due July 24th... although today the doctor said she may be making an earlier appearance..
As I'm typing this I am washing all of her baby clothes and organizing her drawers..
I have her bassinet, swing, bouncer & car seat all ready (put together & washed).
I also made a changing station on my dresser for her last night.
This is for the time being until we close on our co-op, then i'll have a whole nursery to put together!
oh and I also have my hospital bag packed.
I think i'm pretty much ready for her arrival & even though i'm scared to death, I cannot wait for her to be in my arms!

Still have to buy a portable changing table, an infant carrier & sheets for the crib.
I'm semi ready- getting there.!
