Still Don't Have Everything That I Need For Baby

Ok so I'm 34 weeks n all I have for my bby is clothes, a organizer, receiving blankets and a boppy. Which I brought in I asked my boyfriend when are we going to get the rest of the stuff for the bby because when he get her we won't have Anything. N all he replied was "we will". Like is he not exited about the bby being here soon??,  his going to wait to the last minute to get everything! We dnt have bottles, a crib, a diaper bag, pampers or wipes . This is so frustrating I swear everything always falls on the mother!  
Anybody else going thru this or any suggestions ??

All I can say is talk with him about and see if he has a game plan. It's hard waiting and like a couple of the ladies said, its getting close to the time baby will be here and ther is no gurantee you will make it four weeks. Best of luck hun.

Nope we're not having a bby shower, I did get some hand me down clothes, but that's it. I just feel like I'm nagging I say something all the time to him about what the baby needs. But he still don't buy anything it's so frustrating. N  sent him a picture of a diaper bag that I liked n was going to order offline but he wants to get a name brand bag for the bby. He just getting on my nerves !

Its best to start pressuring him because who's to say your baby will make it to 40 weeks or later? I had to pressure my husband to where every time he got paid he bought some things for her. But we also had help. My brother have a 7 month old daughter so I took some of her clothes and some of my other niece's clothes. I bought bottles and blankets new. My in laws sent me $100 towards a car seat/stroller. Even if you can't afford the carry all at least go get the car seat itself. I pray something happens soon because technically baby can be here any day now

I do think about the bby that's why I still go out n buy him things, but I don't have a job so the big things like the crib n stuff is hard to get. That's why I need my boyfriend to buy them. I hate waiting till last mintute to get everything. I just want him to at least go out n buy everything b4 I'm 38 weeks

Honey, you have to think about that baby whether he is going to or not. I would say go out and start buying what it is that you need because you don't want to be stuck in a situation where you have a baby and nothing to take care of him with. You definitely need to be thinking about getting a carseat because the hospital won't let you take him home without one. Also, maybe consider asking friends and family if they have any hand me downs they are willing to give you for him. It will save you money and cause you less stress. But, if all else fails make sure you have the basics. Pampers, wipes, blankies, bibs, somewhere for baby to sleep (crib, bassinet, playpen), car seat and a stroller if you need one, onsies, socks, hygiene items, bottles, and a few outfits. At least to get started.
