Granted-I got one shower over with so I feel much better about where I stand as far as supplies &amp; nursery go.... But I have a huge stack of insurance and hospital admission paperwork that needs to be submitted before I hit the 36w mark....and I don't have a pediatrician yet. Agh...I know I'll do it but thinking about it makes me tired </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215229 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:12:36 +0000 hilsy85 215229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, also feeling very overwhelmed here as well! I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and am pretty sure I have been hit with the nesting bug...but feel like I can't do anything! We picked our paint color, but we don't know if we're doing the painting or if we're hiring someone; we don't have any of our nursery furniture; and picking out nursery prints is really overwhelming because I am so bad at visualizing how everything will look! :( I also need to apply for unemployment this week... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215219 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:05:05 +0000 Running Elley 215219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I'm planning on doing mine in April too. I have an OB appt tomorrow and I'm going to ask him which ones he suggests, etc. and then I'll get us registered. Eeeeee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215214 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:00:10 +0000 mrskc 215214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Ugh, I forgot about registering for classes at the hospital. I think I'm going to do them in August. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215210 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:54:01 +0000 Mrs.B 215210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot to add preregister at the hospital and tour the birthing center. Ahhh We live less then 5 mintues from a hospital with a birthing center but my OBGYN who I love delivers at a hospital 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic. So we are preregistering and touring both. My DH is terrified we won't make it to the hospital I prefer because I plan to labor at home until I HAVE to go to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215208 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:51:05 +0000 ninja 215208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 weeks as well, and it seems like there is just an endless amount to do!!! </p> <p>@mrskc: ugh...the disability paperwork...I've gotta get that figured out too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215206 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:49:31 +0000 Running Elley 215206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I'll be 26 weeks on Wednesday and I'm definitely feeling overwhelmed! Just the thought of making a list is overwhelming LOL. Let's see.....<br /> -Register for classes at the hospital<br /> -Find a pediatrician<br /> -Maternity leave paperwork<br /> -Insurance information research<br /> -Put the nursery together (will be started RIGHT AWAY after we move this weekend)<br /> -Buy stroller<br /> -Make guest lists for baby showers (end of August)<br /> -Coming home outfit</p> <p>I'm sure that I'm forgetting tons. At least we ordered our crib/dresser yesterday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215194 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:42:30 +0000 Mrs.B 215194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ Celmentine I am due in October. I used to be on the weddingbee October boards but I am starting to make the switch over here. I will have to join it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215185 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:36:41 +0000 mrskc 215185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can definitely relate. I'm almost 25 weeks and I feel like my to do list is a mile long. I haven't even made a registry yet or really started researching any gear. The nursery has a long way to go. Then there's the whole figuring out my maternity leave and starting the disability paperwork. Finding a pediatrician, figuring out childcare like daycare or nanny and figuring out how to add LO to either my DH's or mine's insurance. Ugh... I try not to worry too much about it. I know that I can get it all done. Oh and are you due in Oct? I don't think I've seen you on our Oct due dates board. Come join us over there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215182 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:33:29 +0000 matador84 215182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am about 7 weeks out and I am sure there are a million things I'm forgetting. Really, I'm less that 7 weeks out...that's only if I make it to 40 weeks, which doesn't look like it's going to happen.</p> <p>People keep asking if I have my bag packed...I'm like NO? Who packs a bag 7 weeks before a trip? HA...kidding, but I don't even know where to start to get it together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215179 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:31:49 +0000 DillonLion 215179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a little bit of an overwhelming feeling this weekend. DH and I had no plans and spent the whole weekend relaxing and doing little odds and ends around the house. I got a little freaked out that this portion of our lives and the freedom we have is most certainly about to come to an abrupt halt with an infant around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/26-weeks-and-starting-to-feel-overwhelmed-anyone-else#post-215159 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:17:34 +0000 Mrs.B 215159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 26 weeks and 1 day and starting to feel overwhelmed but at the same time I feel like we are still so far away from meeting our LO. In my mind we has so much stuff left to get and do before LO arrives (in reality it's probably not that much). My baby shower invites have been out for a few weeks now and so far my MIL is the only person to buy us anything off of it and it wasn't even something we really needed just some of the random stuff we put on it for people who didn't want to spend alot of money.<br /> Here is my to get list:<br /> Bassinet<br /> High chair (this can wait till after LO arrives)<br /> Baby Monitor<br /> Carrier/sling<br /> Bottles<br /> Breast pump and supplies<br /> Newborn cloth diapers (we have small gdiapers but need to get the tiny ones)<br /> All things for my hospital bag<br /> Get the big brother/big sister bags done for our older children<br /> Crib sheets/the crib mattress pads<br /> Playpen sheets<br /> Make cloth wipes<br /> Cloth diaper hamper/hamper bags<br /> And alot more my pregnancy brain is forgetting.</p> <p>Yikes.<br /> Anyone feeling this way or want to share your to get list before LO arrives? </p>
