Preparing for a new baby?

Question

Just wondering if anyone wants to share how they prepared for their new baby. Like a checklist or a time line of what you did to prepare yourself, your house, your other children, or just preparing for labor???

Answer 1

I have tons of checklists and a timeline. The house right now we haven't fooled with. SIL is about to have a baby so we did her room that will be finished once her shower in 2 weeks. My room we will do in Jan.  

Answer 2

why do u need to come to YA?? just google it!!! too many people rely on YA too much.

Answer 3

well after my 20 wk scan when i knew the s*x ws when i bought the first outfit...and then i bought bits every month until now (im 35weeks pregnant) and now have EVERYTHING ready - its my first birth and i wanted to feel prepared =)

20-24wks- got the travel system (car seat, pram)

24-28wks - got lots of clothes-enough to last her the first 6 months, the cot bedding

28-32wks - got the cot and a moses basket and stand, and a massive 200 pack box of nappies

32-36wks - got all the feeding stuff, the baby changing table and bits and bobs like blankets, cot mobile, thermometer baby bath and so forth

so yeah i didnt wanna have to rush at the end and also splash out so much money in one wack - i got bits monthly and ticked them off my list as the months went by
