Is Everyone Else Getting Ready?

Just wondering how many girls are ready for their baby? I am so NOT ready. In fact I haven't even really thought about getting baby clothes out or beds set up. Am I the only one without everything set up or at least started? I feel like I should have something done by now, but I realized today that all my baby stuff is scattered EVERYWHERE in my house.... I found a pair of teeny tiny baby socks on my book shelf... it's really that bad.

I'm not ready either lol- I've decided to wait until after my babyshower to actually get ready since I will then know what I need to buy for her- My shower is earlier than usual (28weeks) so that'll give me time. I plan on being ready for her arrival no later than September

I'm not ready either.....I think more things will be prepared in August. So far we have furniture and the room is painted. Other than that...we have nothing! LOL I'm waiting for my baby shower on Aug 22nd to really start arranging things. And I was going to buy crib bedding on ebay...it was there for a few weeks and when I went to actually order it....IT was GONE!! Ahh...so now I have to keep my eye out and see if the same one will appear again! Fingers are crossed!

OH GOOOOOOOOD! I thought for sure I was the ONLY one who is completely unprepared! We are actually converting our garage into a room. My son sleeps in the basement where there is 4 bedrooms, but I want him upstairs closer to me, so I have to make a new room haha. Pathetic I know. BUT the garage room will be good sized... It'll be 14X20 which is plenty of room for my study area and the baby to fit in nicely. I am just anti-stairs and hate going up and down. I prefer everything on one floor haha. SO we are going to have that done by mid-August and then I will move my toddler upstairs to our old room... which will be HUGE for him (= and then get the baby stuff set up after that... I need to do some serious laundry and sorting, I just don't want to do anything. I feel like a whale!

I wouldn't feel too badly about it! I haven't bought a single thing for our little girl but it is because we are getting ready to move on Monday (to a much bigger house) and it seems that no matter how short of the move something always gets lost or damaged. I wanted to wait and I am actually thinking about painting her room a really pretty girl color. I haven't decided yet and I will put it off until I do I am sure!

I'm not ready at all yet either. I am moving back home at the end of July so everything will be set up there, but right now I have nothing done and I keep worrying I won't be ready in time. I wasn't worrying too much until I reached the half way mark and I felt like I should have more done lol. This is my first so we have to buy everything.

I'm not ready yet either. I am getting ready to move to my father in laws house because I will be less stressed there. So everything that I have here at my moms has to go over there and have to figure out where it needs to be so we can use it. All Naomi's clothes that people have given me are washed and in a box. I want to get ready but I have to wait a little longer b/c if I put it out now then I will have to wash everything. So I'm not ready either.

I'm not ready yet, but that's just because of everything else that's going on right now.  I've been working on a sewing project that NEEDS to be done soon, I've been working on a 11 page essay to get into grad school.  In July or beginning of August I plan to get things set up and ready to go.  The Fall semester starts the last weekend of August (I think), so I've got to make sure it's set up by then unless DH will do it all!  

This is also our second, so we have all the stuff, we just haven't set any of it up.  The crib is still in toddler bed form (but not in use), and other than that things are in storage.  It'll take 1-2 days to get things set up.

My mind is going CRAZY trying to get all ready for this baby lol. I havn't even started to turn our extra room into the nursery at all, I just feel like there's not enough time to get everything ready and in order before he arrives. Everyday I look and see posts of people that have EVERYTHING ready for their babies already and I'm like gees whats wrong with me lol. I have bought most of the baby items already there just not up, and I havn't started washing the items yet, I will probably start next month or the end of this month, I also need to buy our nursery set, and paint the room as well.

I'm not ready at all as well. We just moved into a new house and I'm waiting until everything is settled down to paint the room and only then will I purchase the furniture. Most people won't have everything ready until AFTER the baby shower which is usually about 6 weeks or so before your due date because they wait to see what they get from friends and then buy everything else. My last pregnancy I even had someone buy me a crib so you never really know what is going to happen.
