How soon does a normal person have everything ready for a baby? Over this last week multiple people, friends and strangers alike have inquired over the status of the preparation of our nursery, hospital bags and such. Although I admit being 30 weeks pregnant does make the impending delivery of our baby seem ever more real, I still am no less prepared for her than I was at 20 weeks. I have boxes piled and spilling over as we prepare for our big move into our new little home which is still over two weeks away. I haven't washed any of her clothes, unpacked (obviously since we haven't even moved yet) any of her gadgets, or set up any resemblance of a nursery. I haven't even come close to realizing what still needs to be done before we bring her home.
Suddenly the urgency to start preparing for the day we bring her home has sent me panic stricken to my stacks of boxes seeking for some way to prepare for her. However until we move there is little I can do. The one task I did manage to complete has been packing our hospital bags (which should have been packed two weeks ago after going into preterm labor- pregnancy has certainly induced procrastination). Once we get into our home I'll be about 33 weeks pregnant, with a large to-do list in pocket.
From your experiences what where the key things you felt necessary to have done to bring home your little ones? How did you determine what was necessary verses luxury while preparing your home and heart?
