Re: Do you think 35 1/2 weeks preggo is cutting it close...

Thank you everyone for your responses, I really appreciate it.

For me that's too close...BUT in general it seems fine.

I without a doubt think it's too late. Was there a reason she wants it later on? Is there family that you need to come to town or something?

I had my shower at 32 weeks - and I had TONS of stuff to return.

My husband had three work showers - all after I was 36 weeks - and there was a complete difference in how I felt. It took me much longer to sort through everything and the returns were just completlely exhausting. It took me days to go through maybe 20 of his gifts - and I went through hundreds of gifts from my shower in less than one day.

As time goes on in your last trimester everything just gets harder and harder!

I had mine at 36 weeks. I gave birth a week later, so I made it, but it was close!

Ahh I understand! If there is no other time then I guess there is nothing you can do - but try and see if there are people around to help you with the returns and stuff. I was completely overwhelmed with how many gifts and returns I had.

ETA: I am also really really anal. I had everything put away the next day, I wanted sheets and clothes cleaned soon after, I wanted everything to be in place before the baby came. We just finished everything last weekend - so it did take a good 6 weeks to do it all - but you can always put a rush on things!

Also another thing to think about is thank you notes. I was writing them forever.

Not everyone sends a baby gift, but everyone gives a gift at the shower.

I can assure you, it's the last thing you want to do after you've had the baby.

The longer you wait the longer to get things done. I took me 2 weekends to saw 2 window valance. It's just exhausting.

So, I still have a few thank you notes to do myself. Thank you for reminding me!!!!
