How prepared do you feel for baby's arrival?

Question

How prepared should we even feel? 
This is my 1st. Its a boy!! I don't feel too prepared. We've bought a stroller and car seat set already. I have 2 diaper bags and some NB-3Mo clothes. 2 pairs of shoes. But i don't really feel prepared! Yes I plan on having a baby shower and I know I'll have more then. But personally, this feels too easy. Like what am I missing? A crib is taken care of already. I plan to breastfeed. So when my son is here is really all that's left is diapers and wipes and clothes here and there? Please chime in and let me know if you feel prepared and ready. I'd hate to be scrambling in the end! 14 more weeks left!!!

Answer

I haven't bought 1 thing

Answer

Baby washcloths/towels. Bath items (soap, lotion, etc) diaper rash cream. If he's gonna be circumcised you'll need Vaseline or A&D ointment. Baby Q-Tips.. I'd have a few bottles to be on the safe side. Blankets, receiving blankets. And the list goes on. That's stuff you can never have too much of!

Answer

Just breathe and tell yourself it'll all come together. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, you can always get what you need after the baby gets here. You'll have to go out with the baby for doctors appointments, you can always go to the store afterwards!

Answer

We got our crib delivered today (woohoo🙂) and the changing table was ordered today too. But all we have is some clothes, diaper pail, and rocking chair/glider. But that's it. SO told me to wait until the baby shower which is in mid July to see what we get and then get what we don't have afterwards. I'm due with a baby boy on August 24th....We registered a couple weeks ago and I'm really more so wanting the car seat and stroller so I don't feel too behind...

Answer

i am 26 weeks with my first, a baby boy, and i think i have a lot (baby bath, soap, wipes, diapers, NB to 9 months clothes, towels, burping and receiving blanket, crib and matress, bassinet, changing table, 2-3 bouncer, high chair, playtex bottles, stoller, 2 car seat sets, baby toys, a breastmilk pump, and probably alot more) i will have a babyshower aswell but i dont think i miss a lot of stuff.. maybe rashcream, baby Qtip, bibs, more diapers. 
But im afraid of missing something important😕

Answer

I'm 25 weeks expecting also my first too, baby girl 💗 and kind of on the same page as you! As far as it goes with material items I feel pretty good so far. I've started purchasing clothes/booties slowly, her crib set is on the way being delivered, and have a few nursery items already. What I'm worried most about is registering for a hospital and how to go about maternity leave.

Answer

Not at all! Lol We have everything we need but this is our third ( 4, & 18 months boys ) and our youngest son has been having a really hard time behaving lately. I wanted him and this baby to be close in age and now I'm really regretting it. 😩

Answer

If you start a registry they have checklists to what you should add. I think it's nice way to determine what you want/need for the baby.

Answer

I have basically nothing and my baby is due 6 weeks after my shower so I do feel like I'm cutting it close but what are ya gonna do?? 😝🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I would recommend doing a registry if you haven't yet, they'll give you a whole checklist of things you need. I don't have a whole whole lot yet but I'm waiting for my babyshower because I have most of my items on my registry and a huuuge family. We have clothes, blankets, swaddles, socks, beanies, mittens, a bouncer, a bassinet, a crib, an armoire for the baby's clothes but that's about it for now... we will get more important things as we go.
