How much does everyone have done?
azeliag posted:
Since we are all down to the last 3 months, what do you ladies have left to do/get before LO gets here?
I haven't gotten much of anything done, we recently (well 3 months ago) moved and we still aren't all the way unpacked. We haven't gotten very much for LO yet. We have a crib (not put together), new mattress, crib sheet and some blankets (still undecided about getting the whole crib set), a dresser, and a bassinet, and a few clothes.
I am excited and nervous at the same time. Sept seems so far away but the last few months have flown by.

We have the nursery painted (including an adorable mural that my brother and one of my good friends painted, a pond scene), but we still need to do the floors. We're replacing the carpet with bamboo flooring. I haven't really bought anything except some tiny outfits that I couldn't resist. Two baby showers are being thrown for us in July, so we won't purchase anything else until after then. Time really is flying by now, but I'm sure it will slow to a crawl after the showers.

I still think time is flying by. It just seems like each week passes and I'm like, OK, now I'm in week --. And it just seems like it's going by so fast. I think time will continue to go by fast for as long as I am able to be up and about, keeping busy.
We have:
Travel System
Cradle-sized crib (for first 3-4 months) with sheets/mattress
Baby bath tub
Towels
Blankets
Onesies (long and short sleeves)
some sleep gowns (lol he's a boy- kinda hard to say "gown")
Socks
Hats
Bibs
Outfits for up to 6-9months
I'm undecided about a PNP- thinking I may save the purchase until next Spring.
We are not getting a changing table either.
I need:
Breast pump
Bottles and accesories
Diaper bag- thinking about just using my coach tote, it's getting old anyway
All basic necessities like lotions/creams/baby wash that kind of stuff
Full sized crib and mattress/sheets- also undecided on crib set
Bouncer
Boppy
Having a baby shower, in July, so I'm not buying too much more until after...
AND we need to paint his room, set everything up still!
Depending on when he comes, I have 9-12 weeks left so I'm starting to slightly freak out, lol

My baby shower is in less than a week. I'll be planning a lot more after that. However, it's REALLY hard to plan when we don't know if it's a boy or a girl....
We do have a crib, changing table, recliner, a few outfits, onesies, boppy cover, towels, all our cloth diapers, travel system, high chair, and exersaucer.
I'm so afraid time will just crawl by...

We've got clothing (from Ds1 and a few new things purchased) closets and dressers are almost organized from 0-6mos anyway,
From ds1, we have the bigger items such as crib- dresser- change table, vibrating chair, bouncer, tummy time mat, bumbo seat, toys books and stuffies galore new bottles, new pacis, high chair booster seat blankets, receiving and lovies onesies u name it, we have it! This is why it feels like the house is going to explode from the inside out!
DS1 is only going to be 2, so all of these things are in great condition and he is such a big boy he doesnt need or use even these things like his booster seat to sit at the table for dinner!
The boys will eventually be sharing a room so room is already painted and pretty much organized with supplies (cream oil powder diapers wipes etc)
The main thing we need to get now is a bassinet for our room. maybe a few new face cloths and towels...

I haven't done anything for our baby girl. We still have gender neutral stuff left over from our son like, a bouncy chair, bumbo, boppy, swing, high chair, some gender neutral clothes, bottles, pump, pump accessories, etc... We still haven't bought a crib, dresser, changing table, painted her room or bought her any clothes. I guess I should get going on making room for number 2, but I just can't get motivated. I have my baby shower next week, so I'm thinking I'll wait until then to purchase anything.

I have very little done. I have a crib and changing table and thats about it. My babyshower will not be until mid August and I have been trying to wait until after the shower to buy anything, but I'm afraid that the closer to my due date (9/22/10) the less productive I will be....I hope the hubby will be ready to shop alone.
