feeling unprepared

[ShellyLette]

Anyone else? I've got quite a bit of stuff already, but I've been waiting to open some of the stuff I won't need two of until my baby shower in 2 weeks to see what ill need to take back. The waiting game is killing me and my ocd wants to organize alyvias room already!

I feel your pain. I am not having my shower until June 2nd and all I want to do is finish organizing. I  had a small shower form the girls at work so the stuff I got there is all put away an set up. But I still have to set up furniture, like crib and dresser.

I feel the same i havent even started much things for the baby. I have like 2-4 outfits but nothin major like crib or carseat. Im 26wks

I still need a dresser! Ive got a couple of those closet things you have Gordon but I know its not gonna hold all her clothes. I was thinking about getting those plastic bins with the drawers until I can come across a small cheap dresser to fit in her room. Aww flower you still got some time to go! I'm sure you'll get tons of clothes at your shower

I know exactly what you feel like. But at least you have a deadline... Because I'm not having a baby shower I don't have a time scale so I have to wait until everyone brings me what they've said they would and I haven't got a clue as to when that will be :-( I only have a cot & enough clothing to last 0-3 months. And have been told not to buy anything else because I should be getting them. But When? Lol

my1st pudding thats how i am! :"(

[ShellyLette]

Joceey me too! I need a crib mattress, baby tub, more clothes. And pudding I know how you feel I'm still waiting on a play yard I was told id be given but don't wanna seem like I'm bugging them by asking when lol. It took my boyfriends sister forever to give us the crib and turns out it had mold on it and lemme tell you mold is so hard to clean off!

I think I may get a tall dresser that has deep drawers but is slender in width (saw one at Kmart that was about 50bucks). I don't have a lot of room to work with. Those closet organizers are working out great so far, and I still have some room for some other stuff. My thing now is, I have a lot of newborn clothes and I worry that he will grow out of them aster than I can use them, so I'm leaving tags on them until I use them, that way, I can return what he doesn't use and either exchange for a bigger size or get my money back. Any of the other clothes that I do use I may end up giving to a girl I know who is having a boy a few months after me. Some people have told me to keep the clothes just in case, but I don't think I will be having more kids until I end up with a GOOD man and married. Not to mention a bigger place!

[My1stPudding]

Exactly. I don't want to ask or seem like I'm being ungrateful so I guess it's just a waiting game. But as I am only 27+3 I have a bit more time. I hoping I get everything before I'm 36 weeks so I can spend my last month fixating on my baby rather than trying to buy things last minute. Good luck to you ladies, hope everything comes together soon :-)

Gordon ill be returning everything I don't need for the extra cash! And whatever I do use I will try my luck selling at the flea market. I don't plan on getting pregnant again, this pregnancy has been so stressful I don't think id be able to do it again.. I wish we still had a kmart here!

I hope yall get your stuff soon joceey and pudding!

[GordonBaby]

Oh yeah I never thought of doing the flea market or even a yard/sidewalk sale come spring or summer of next year. That's a good idea! Then I would have a ton of clothes in decent condition that I could sell for a little bit of extra cash. My neighbor does a little sidewalk sale every summer, I could just team up. Yeah I don't think our Kmart will be around much longer. Sears bought them all, but I feel like Target and Walmart are huge competition and all so close together
