[EnchantedWithEdwardCullen]

My minds blank, about 5 times I've sat down to try and make some sort of list and I just can't.

The nursery is done and pram and carseat here. The pretty things are done

The practical? No chance.

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

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

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!
