30 weeks here and can't wait for this third baby to make his entrance! Scheduled my csection date but have yet to agree on a name or even a couple of names! Can't wait for my 32 week appointment as I will see this little boy again via sonogram!

31+ weeks. Set up hospital tour for the 16th of next month. Decided against any classes...from the thread I saw on childbirth classes and just the knowledge we have of childcare...we're skipping any classes.

Current debate is on newborn photographers...which one to go with.

Shower is next month.

Nursery is getting there...hoping now that classes are over and it's just testing that DH will be able to bang out a lot and get stuff done.

Next trip to BJ's we'll pick up the free and clear detergent to wash the clothes and bedding. Will do that immediately following the shower.

Can't believe only 2 months left! Crazy how time flies when you're freaking out! LOL!!!

Totally feeling overwhelmed.
Probably because my shower is this weekend and I took full control of it. Ha, it's my personality.
On top of this I have to order the furniture and complete the nursery (first cleaning it out now). We are slow. Since we are Jewish the furniture will not arrive until after the birth. But we still need to paint and find some fun accessories.

Hopefully I get everything I need at the shower :)

On such a happy note.. Went to the doctor for my 32 week appt and brought all 4 grandparents to be. It was fun and exciting and my doctor was so nice answering all of there concerns. So special for them to all see the baby live.

Under 50 days. Craziness - I feel like it's been on high speed the last few weeks.

Hoping to wash all the clothes this weekend and also get any remaining items we want from registry so we can arrange everything in the room.

Hey everyone! How are you girls feeling???
I'm almost 35 weeks, I can't believe it... I'm doing great for the most part. Only in pain when its hot n my feet swell up. And I Lil trouble sleeping at night.

Some of the nursery furniture cane in and will be delivered next week...can't wait.. I hope I like it, I'm so nervous.... Room is painted and molding is up... Dh has to install closet doors and install a new light switch. Then after furniture comes I can start decorating.. Anyone have pics of their nursery if done, would love to see!!!

Was thinking has anyone had their shower yet? Haven't seen anyone post any pics or anything yet... Mine is July 12th and I can't wait.

Had my shower this week. Did a girls nautical theme since we live in Lon beach. The hot pink and navy look. Everything came out amazing except a little disappointed in the service and food at the place. Fm me if you want pics or ideas for the theme. It was really pulled off nicely.

Btw, we got so many nice gifts--- we are so lucky but since the baby room is not even painted yet everything is all over the place so I feel like its total chaos until I can unpack everything. Looks like we are moving in.

Had my 34 week dr. check-up this morning, and we're officially graduating to weekly check-ups starting next Friday. Growth soon @ 36 weeks, otherwise things are progressing well. Just looked at countdown, 38 daysChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

We had our shower in beginning of June - we're almost done w/ the nursery, few pics to put up, wash all his clothes (already washed sheets, blankets, bibs, etc), and put them into place. Going to install carseat in 2 weeks and pack my hospital bag - we're ready to rock'n'roll!

I'll be 33 weeks on Wednesday. I have an OB appointment tonight.

Had my shower on June 21st. We got pretty much all the big things we registered for. The furniture is ordered and should be in end of this week, early next week. Nursery is painted, but a mess with all the baby shower gifts.

I washed all 0-3 month clothes, socks, hats, and burp clothes yesterday. I will be washing all the bedding, white onesies, bibs, and bath stuff this weekend.

I made a list of the things we still need to do to get ready for baby.

I can't believe how close it is already Chat Icon

Feeling good! Time is really flying. Room is taking FOREVER to complete it seems, but DH is doing his best. Havent ordered furniture yet, but DS didn't sleep in his room until 6mo so I know its not crucial. Hopefully we can order it in the next 2 weeks though. Went to the Poconos this weekend, it was a lot of fun. Prob our last little getaway before DS2. I was feeling what I think were Braxton Hicks contractions yesterday in the car on the way home, Im going to ask the dr about it today at my appt.

My fam threw me a Baby Sprinkle last weekend, and all my friends were there too. It was so special! My friend (who's also a LIF mom, and photographer) took some maternity pics that weekend too. They look amazing from what I saw so far, shes editing them now. She's very reasonably priced if any one is interested.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Now that my shower is over... I'm starting to think about the items left on the registry that I will need/want before the baby arrives.

Anyone have a good list to make sure we have everything at home for the first few weeks....

Thanks ladies

We bought almost everything else that was remaining except for a bunch of toys we had on there that he won't use until he's 6+ months. But all the other key essentials, we got. At BBB, you can combine the 10% completion coupon along with the other coupons they offer btw, which is super helpful.

How many diapers and wipes etc are you stocking up on before the baby is born?

I bought a big economy case of Pampers sensitive wipes (they were on sale and had leftover on gift card), and then for diapers, we're going to get a smaller case of Pampers Swaddlers, and then sign up for Amazon Mom once he's here and we make sure that those diapers work for him (I've heard certain babies do better with Pampers vs. Huggies etc) so instead of stocking up, we'll just order once he's here, but we'll have enough to last us a few days.

For anyone that wants to stock up on diapers, Target has an awesome sale that started yesterday and they have for another few days. They have a coupon for $20 off $100 on Infant things, Pampers Swaddlers box of 100 is on sale for $24.99, and when you get two packs, it's $10 gift card. We got 4 boxes of size 1 diapers, and basically paid $52 with the gift cards.

You make all the rest of us preggers look bad...lol! Just Kidding!!! Awesome that you have everything done.

Shower's on Saturday so we'll be able to start really putting everything together after that. Hospital tour scheduled for next week.

DH needs to put together the glider (and any of the stuff from the shower), put up the decal in the nursery.

In a couple weeks we'll do hospital bag and car seat.

Where did everyone find onesies with a matching hat? I am looking for some outfits for the hospital but all the newborn outfits I received as gifts come with matching blankets but not little hats.

Thanks ladies!

^ The nursery looks great!!

Pretty much crossing things off my list daily. The nursery is almost done, just need to get some things on the walls (and the crib mattress, my mom is getting it for us and wants to wait for Sept 1st) Bassinet is set up in the living room for now, need to deep clean our bedroom before I put it in there. Nesting has definately started.

I have enough diapers, wipes, clothes. Everything is washed (clothes, bedding, blankets).

I just need to start packing my hospital bag and we are installing the carseat bases this weekend.

I am ready for this baby but he has to wait until after DH's birthday to come (7/24).
