HAHA. oh boy. I've also realized that she won't be sleeping in her crib for a couple months anyway...so I'll have to likely rewash before she starts sleeping in there. might as well just wash them now so I can leave the crib all pretty!</p> <p>maybe I'll try to hold off another week or two on clothes...I'm afraid if I do everything now, I'll be sitting super bored waiting for her arrival! </p> <p>but @mrskc has a good point, I could always rewash them if I was feeling crazy again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244331 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 05:24:12 +0000 MsLipGloss 244331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's the capacity of our washer, but I could have fit everything in one load . . . maybe two (if I included the second mattress cover). A lingerie bag (or two!) is nice to keep all the little booties and mittens together, too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244288 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 23:46:39 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 244288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it can be done in a day so maybe start now with the clothing and next week do sheets? You could always sticks the sheets in one of those huge ziplock storage bags until 38w or so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244285 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 23:14:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 244285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 36 weeks. It took me a good week to wash all her clothes, sheets, etc. I don't think it'd be bad to get started around 32 weeks... I was feeling so heavy by 36 weeks that lugging the laundry basket around was a total workout! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244257 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:10:24 +0000 littlek 244257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in labor at 34 weeks and had nothing washed. My BF had to come to our house and wash everything while I<br /> Was in hospital. It ended up not being huge deal since<br /> LO was in hospital for 10 days and all the clothes that were washed were too large for him anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244253 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:03:34 +0000 eeh 244253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it at 37 weeks which was right after both of my baby showers. It was nice to have it all done before I got really huge feeling but I didn't want to do it before my showers because I wanted to wait until we had pretty much everything so I could do full loads instead of partial ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244152 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:42:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 244152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>37 weeks :):) But if you want do it now! I was HUGE at my 37th week and very uncomfortable so going through all his clothes, washing, folding and putting away was no menial task. If I'd had all his clothes at my 32nd week, I would do it then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244147 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:38:58 +0000 Mrsbells 244147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I washed everything around 36 weeks but I put everything including sheets in her dresser so it couldnt get dusty. we didnt put sheets on the bed til we brought her home from the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244109 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:38:38 +0000 mrskc 244109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it makes you feel better, you can always wash it all now and do it again when you're farther along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244104 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:36:21 +0000 photomommy 244104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 32 weeks too, and just went throught the same nesting thing. I felt like I needed to do something and washed all of her clothes and bedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244089 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:29:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 244089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 37 or so weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244085 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:27:28 +0000 Rubies 244085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around 35 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244084 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:26:42 +0000 chopsuey 244084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around 37 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244064 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:13:23 +0000 matador84 244064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just did this last weekend at 35 weeks. I haven't done clothes yet, only blankets, sheets, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244063 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:13:14 +0000 MsLipGloss 244063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have already washed all her crib bedding, but will do it again in the next few weeks. I haven't washed any of her clothes yet. (I am 35 weeks tomorrow) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244060 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:11:42 +0000 MsMini 244060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I washed and put away everything at about 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-wash-baby-clothes-sheets-etc#post-244059 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:10:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 244059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>might have put this in the wrong section. </p> <p>I'm 32 weeks but all of a sudden have a really strong nesting urge as far as baby things go - I feel compelled to have everything ready in that if she came tomorrow, we'd be good. </p> <p>my mom says not to wash anything until right before I'm due so it doesn't get dusty. this makes sense, I guess, when you consider the changing pads, crib sheets, etc. But her clothes will be in the drawers.</p> <p>Should I save this as something to do later? How far along were you when you washed everything? </p>
