Not prepared!?

Question

I feel so unprepared this is my first and up until now I've been sick so I had to quit my job in Jan. I have only some clothes for her nothing big not even a name picked out yet I feel stressed out and I'm almost 6 months anyone else not get stuff yet? My bf works full time but has tiwns and with only one person working and one car money is tight i will have a baby shower in May but still feel like I'm no where near ready for her!

Answer

Haven't bought 1 thing. Only a maternity pillow. Not planning to buy stuff until at least week 28. I'm too scared if I buy something will go wrong. There is no rush

Answer

I have 17 weeks left and have only bought a few onsies and gowns. I don't know the gender yet so as far as clothes, it's whatever I have from my previous two, which is very little considering I didn't think we would have a third child so I only kept super special outfits. But here is the kicker, I don't even have a room yet. We are having to do some renovating to make a nursery and we haven't even broken drywall yet... Oh the fun of being a procrastinator. My reveal is Saturday so I'll be able to start really buying stuff next week, maybe that will push the hubby to really start on the nursery. Fingers crossed.

Answer

Go to second hand stores. That's where I got a lot of my stuff. 5 1/2 months here.

Answer

I've only bought one new outfit and one second hand outfit... We were given some clothes and some new clothes.... Nothing that will fit right off the bat (but I am so thankful). But our nursery room isn't even cleared out :/ I'm so stressed... Haven't even bought diapers!

Answer

I feel ya. We were gifted a crib and a few sleepers by my parents. 
 
The only thing I have purchased was a cute newborn outfit from a second hand shop. I did that on a day I was feeling really down and it cheered me up.

I'm not sure when is the right time to share our registry (no shower) or to start buying stuff ourselves.

Answer

I haven't bought anything yet. I don't know where to begin. I see a bunch of car seats and cribs online and all sorts of other things but I'm the kind of person that likes to see what I'm buying. Also we are struggling with money right now due to me not working cause doc says for me to take it easy since this is my rainbow baby cause we lost the first and my SO doesn't have a job right now due to the economy going to crap. He didn't work very much in February and not at all in March and won't have his construction job starting until the end of May. So that's another reason we don't have anything yet.

Answer

I have a total of 7 outfits for my handsome I completely know how you feel!

Answer

With my first daughter, I found out at 34 weeks. I didn't know where or what to do with anything. It was alot to take in mentally, I had 6 weeks or less to prepare for a baby. Thank god, my friends came together and got me their baby clothes and we looked online for swings and stuff. I Bought a crib and carseat cause I didn't want them used but everything else was used, newborns don't need alot of clothes, I was actually nervous putting clothes on her lol she was pretty much just in a diaper for the first 3 months unless we went somewhere or people were coming over.

I don't know where you live but look for free baby things, that will save you so much plus your shower will get alot of the needs. I did a meet and greet after the baby was born, and asked instead of cards, to bring books for we can read to our little girl at night. And people signed the books and now I have alot of books!

Answer

With our first it was like as soon as we found out what we were having we went out & got everything.... We are expecting baby #2 & all we have is clothes, diapers, wipes, & a bath tub. I don't want to know the sex of this baby but my hubby knows.... So I'm like hey we have like 3 1/2 months c'mon let's get stuff. I picked out all the stuff w/our daughter so hubby is picking this time.
