ok so i still have around 4 months till baby is born.
but I feel we arent even ready for this baby (as in not got enough baby stuff) the baby's room isnt even anywhere near ready. we have a cupboard in there with computer stuff in there which I want out but my husband has about 6 boxes in our computer room with computer bits and pieces. which he needs to sort out so we have room to put the cupboard in there. I told my husband I want him to start sorting those boxes by august 1 and that I want the baby's room ready by November 1. I just dont want it to get to late October and nothing has been done. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I know what you mean Megangrace! I have just changed to double digits today and it is making me realise how much I have to do!! Our baby room is still the everything rom (Computer, Gun Cabinet, spare room, baby collection space...) and so there are alot of change s to make! I meant to do this weekend, but was too tired to do anything... ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

| I was the same as you and then all of a sudden you realise....its ready! I didnt think we had nearly enough clothes for bubs until I actually organised them into drawers and then went "oh sh*t!!! we have HEAPS". |

Dont panic MeganGrace, I think a lot of us are in the same boat! Draw up a list and do one thing each weekend, you will be suprised how quickly it starts to take shape! We cleared out the wardrobe in the babies room this weekend (the study is becoming the nursery, and the challenge for us is that we both work from home at lot...and run our business from home...) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I know what you mean about time... we are also turning the office/spare room into a new room for Lucy, so trying to move 3 years worth of stuff out of there is turning into a mission! Not to mention all the stuff in the wardrobe, don't want to even think about that one  I have loads of neutral baby clothes, so not stressed out there.
Another good thing is to stock up on newborn naps, we have stacks already, but good thing to buy a new packet everytime you go shopping. Just do little bits at a time, that is what I do  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Don't panic! We are still in the collection mode too.
I agree with SimSam, a list is a good plan, and just do a little bit each weekend, there's still plenty of them left! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

doing a bit each week sounds good.
the boxes in the computer room 99% of them are my husband's stuff and I would have no idea where to start on them so leaving them to him. anyway lets hope he starts this weekend. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
