the baby's things?

Crib, clothes, baby accessories, bottles, etc? Am I the only one?

I feel so totally laid back with this one that I have been a total slug about getting things officially "ready." Could be that I have 2 dd's and I have a lot of the stuff (somewhere). I also know that I don't need a lot of it, including a crib, for at least the first six months. Planning on bf and co-sleep, which cuts down on all the extra bottles and stuff that goes with all of that. I also received a bunch of hand-me-downs from my friend (boy clothes) so I don't even feel excited about shopping......plus boy clothes just aren't as cute, IMO, as the cute stuff I had for the girls.

I figure we'll toss together the co-sleeper so I can lay the baby down sometimes, I got my sling and, if all goes well, I have the powerful boob ready....Now, I'm just kind of waiting for the baby.......

Anyone else this disorganized!?

I'm totally disorganized right now, but it's stressing me out! We live in a tiny apartment and I don't have room to be disorganized! I'm looking for bins of the "perfect" dimensions to help organize our changing table and hold the hand-me-downs we've received so far. I barely have room for what I've been given, and I have two showers to go! Yikes! I hope I get a HUGE rush of energy in my 9th month so I can get it all done. This month is busy with work and Christmas!

By the way, I think that some little boy's stuff is cute too. Little overalls and a tiny baseball cap are so adorable!

I'm about 18 weeks and don't have a single thing. I have only started thinking about it but that only stresses me out LOL.

The only real concern I have (after the baby's health LOL) is carseats...do I get an infant one or use a convertible w/a sling for when we are out?

This is my 3rd, and my others are bigger so I have zero baby items. I'm not getting a crib right away either. The baby will cosleep for at least the first 8 months (DH will be deployed) but I do want a sidecar type sleeper for naps.

Clothes...I live in HI...really only need onesies and a few blankets LOL.

Boobs...have those, worked great w/other kids so hopefully no problems there. With DH being gone, I don't have any use really for bottles. It will just be me and the babe LOL.

Stroller...I might get one, a lightweight type one for zoo trips,etc since we'll be there all day and carrying the baby and a backpack isn't my type of fun. I am thinking of getting a macclaren or something similiar.

Otherwise...I'll just get it in time. There is so much baby stuff out there but really they don't need much, KWIM?

I'm almost 31 weeks and have barely anything for the baby. The closest to organizing was put all the baby clothes and few diapers we have in a big cardboard box so I'll know where they are.

i'm totally disorganized, but i have a long time to get ready still. and a lot of stuff that'll be needed before the time comes. my big thing is that we live in a 2 bedroom, ad we've gotta get the other 2 kids into their room, so that me n dh's rom can be made ready for baby....

problem is dh works 2 jobs- one of which is 24 hour shifts, and he is the one that has to get the other room ready for the 2 kids still- he won't let me go in there because of my asthma. (there is still mold that needs killed/removed on one of the walls under the window.... it is all closed off, and he's forbidden me to go in there.

I don't really plan on doing anything until 34 weeks or later...mostly because we have the stuff somewhere in our apartment, the baby doesn't need much, and really all I need to do is wash some clothes and diapers. And I figure before 34 weeks (maybe even after) the baby's not coming home right away, so I don't need to get anything done. Very very lazy this time, but I've mostly just realized how little babies need. I don't have the room to have anything I don't need sitting out in our way. Plus, this pregnancy has been very rocky so far so I'm not convinced that we'll be bringing home a healthy baby at term. I'm hopeful though!
