Still waiting. .

I am 33 weeks.. I haven't bought anything,  I am not prepared at all. I just don't feel the urge to start shopping and preparing yet.. when will it finally kick in? I feel like i am waiting for that moment, when i start shopping, nesting, and getting all ready. Everyone thinks i am strange. Any ideas on what will help me? Lol

I shopped online. I have only been in the store once. Just lightheaded all the time to walk around. Got some great deals on clothes and free shipping if u spend $50 OR more. So compared prices and bought just what i need. After he gets here guess i can get more stuff if needs be.

I didn't start nesting seriously until work 34, then BAM!  I put the entire crib and dresser together, bit by bit all myself... and stained the rocking chair, washed all his baby clothes and blankets!

Earlier though bought a travel stroller, with the carseat/ carrier. And a pack and play pen, only because I saw they were having a good deal at Walmart LOL but didn't set them up for months after.

I cleaned the whole house at few weeks ago and the garage, and did all the yard work haha

I think it was the baby shower that started it all for me!!

made me feel like I ran into a glass door! I was like crap, this baby is coming whether I am ready or not! And I am a FTM so I had to get everything ready asap. I am now week 36 and almost done! You have time! You just got to start doing a little at a time!

Have your mom or sister or friend help you get the ball rolling! Go look at items, then look up ratings on them to make sure they are good, and then once you buy something you will want to get more! Promise.
