I've worked with some very pregnant horses that were beyond over it at the end of their 11 months (I'm not kidding or anthropomorphizing when I say they were bitchy! But after experiencing 37-39 weeks with my first, I understood!) I can just imagine an elephant with their intelligence!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297453 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:44:11 +0000 Dandelion 1297453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: This makes me feel sorry for large animals, like elephants. Being pregnant for 18 months for one baby is pretty annoying, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297449 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:42:55 +0000 lemondrop 1297449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: :heart: I'm so ready for you and your family to get that big reward at the end, friend!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297438 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:39:48 +0000 Dandelion 1297438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Same thing for me! When people ask how far along I am, I just say I have about 3 months to go. MIL asked a few weeks ago if he can hear, yet, and I had to look it up, cause I had no clue, lol. </p> <p>Nothing is cool for me, lol. I'm sooo over pregnancy, lol. I'm way more impatient to fast forward to the end on this kid, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297426 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:35:15 +0000 lemondrop 1297426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: people keep asking what week we are in, I have to check my phone app to figure it out. My husband doesn't remember either. One night at dinner he kept trying to ask me something and kept saying "nevermind" finally I'm all "WHAT?" he then asked what week we were in, and I told him I have no idea and had to look it up :silly: </p> <p>I'm trying to savor the cool parts of pregnancy (kicks, movement) but really it's just uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297385 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:17:45 +0000 lavender 1297385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>31 weeks and have yet to do a thing. Well I'm lying I picked out and bought the paint for the nursery. We plan on painting and clearing out the extra bedroom NYE's- LO's daycare is open and we have the day off so we can take advantage of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297377 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:13:51 +0000 erwoo 1297377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here... just washed my oldest's clothes for his little brother to wear when he is born. Just had to move his big brother out of his room and into big boy bed. It's must easier when your second is the same gender AND born in the same season. My boys' birth months are one month apart. Although, my youngest is taller and heavier so he is already wearing 2T and 21 months; whereas my oldest was always on the dot with sizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297341 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:02:50 +0000 matador84 1297341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>31 weeks and haven't really done anything. We have all our stuff from dS so I'm not as anxious this time around and not worried about not having anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297320 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 09:57:14 +0000 Amelieisme 1297320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the same way! I'm almost 26 weeks and haven't bought a thing. Its the opposite gender too so I will need clothes and bedding, etc. But most of the big purchase items are taken care of, I guess. I'm not going to have a shower either so I better get on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297275 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 09:42:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 1297275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant yet, but I think I will have "most" of hte things I need so prepping won't be as intense, expecially if it's another girl. I already know our photographer/daycare/have most neutral gear/ect. So if we have a boy I will need clothes/nursery/blankets, otherwise we are pretty much good to go! I will redo the nursery some if it's a girl to make it "hers" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297140 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 08:34:29 +0000 Dandelion 1297140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Third one here, but not really...I'm not really into the weekly updates about what's going on inside of me, either. I'm more interested in skipping to the end. </p> <p>I have been shopping a bit for him, but not as much as I was with S or DS. I figure once he's here, we'll get whatever it is we need for him. We have basics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297133 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 08:30:43 +0000 Bao 1297133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 27 weeks and all I have is some diapers and a glider. Of course we still have A's clothes she can use. I've been horrible at keeping up the journal, I never take bump photos on the right day and I sometimes forget how far along I am. We need to buy furniture, paint etc still. With A this was mostly done by now. I think I just learned babies really don't need much so no need to go overboard :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297123 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 08:17:07 +0000 MamaChin 1297123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28 weeks and haven't looked at anything. She will just sleep in our room for the first few months and then we'll figure out where to put her. I've bought one pair of pants (on sale for $3) and a girl version of a necklace I own. We are reusing most of the gear from LO #1. I am counting on gifted clothes and gift cards from friends and family since she'll be the first girl born in a long time. We will need a new crib and a double stroller but ugh so lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297068 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 05:56:02 +0000 Beyond2 1297068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much here either! I'm 23 weeks and we haven't bought anything yet. I'm planning to reuse most everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297032 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 01:51:02 +0000 lemondrop 1297032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much- more so planning the toddler room since we aren't changing the nursery at all. We have enough clothes and supplies, so I'm not really worrying about it. </p> <p>I'm driving my MIL crazy since she wants to buy things for the baby, but we are pretty well set. I'm slowly coming up with a list for her, but it isn't much- new hooded towels, rock n' play, stroller skateboard attachment. </p> <p>The only biggish thing we need is a dresser for C, we've gotten his toddler bed ready, although we aren't planning on using it right away (pack n' play in our room for the newborn at first). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1297029 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 01:47:42 +0000 wonderstruck 1297029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pregnant again although we are TTC, but I can't imagine that I will do as much prep for #2 just because some of it will carry over from last time (no searching for a hospital and doing the tour and such because I liked the one we used last time and will just go back there, already have my midwife so no need for that research either, many of the baby items can be re-used, etc.) and partially because there were some things I did last time that ended up being totally unnecessary, like my birth plan that never left the suitcase. I also still have room and photo ideas left over from last time since I couldn't use everything I liked.</p> <p>The one thing that will be different this time around is doing a ton of research to decide if I'm going to try for a vbac or not. Although, like the birth plan last time, that could end up not being necessary if like last time LO makes that decision for me - but hopefully that won't be the case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-as-much-prep-for-baby-2#post-1296989 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 23:53:50 +0000 polkadots 1296989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 17 weeks and I haven't even looked at baby things yet. I haven't made any plans, haven't been interested in looking online at cute baby clothes, room ideas, photography...nothing. With #1 I had been looking things up all the time from the positive pegnancy test until she was here...(and after). I'm excited but I think I've realized that the baby doesn't really need much so I don't plan on spending much money this time around. </p>
