I've got 10 weeks left - that's ages surely?? [denial]

[EnchantedWithEdwardCullen]

Ive got Christmas, my sons birthday, 5 other birthdays, a halloween party, my wedding anniversary, our 8th year together anniversary and oh yes... the birth to fit in the next 11 weeks...

it doesn't seem that far away

[ButIForgetMyself]

Oh my God.

I have just over 11 weeks to go.

I have no nursery yet. I have no pram and no car seat. I still have boxes and boxes of my own stuff to move round from my Mum's, she's been nagging me to get my stuff out since I moved in with DP in January. I haven't been able to move my stuff out as we've been getting the whole of our upstairs gutted and re-decorated. The baby's room is still a study.

Panicking much? Me?



YES

Depends how much you want to have in situ. Bear in mind that there is a poss 8-10 week delay in lots of places re pram, tho car seats will be in stock. Basic clothes for newborn are easy to pick up re a week's worth of changes, but you won't know its size til born so don't go mad! I am doing to set my sis up with some cash so she can rush out and get me more clothes depending on size (be it 5lbs or 10lbs - dear god let it be 5). Don't panic but do do some shopping!! Good luck!
