The bag, though, was only complete about two minutes before we left our apartment to cab to the hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-ready-for-baby-to-arrive#post-570307 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 17:15:49 +0000 Dandelion 570307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my shower the day before I turned 34 weeks and later that week I bought the last few things I felt like I needed. Since then, I've felt ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-ready-for-baby-to-arrive#post-570304 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 17:13:10 +0000 autumnlove 570304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>36-37 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-ready-for-baby-to-arrive#post-570293 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 17:06:28 +0000 matador84 570293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 38 weeks I packed my hospital bag...that sealed the deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-ready-for-baby-to-arrive#post-570280 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:42:34 +0000 MamaMoose 570280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We were beyond prepared. I would say the only absolute essentials are car seat, diapers/wipes, sleepers, and a bassinet. They don't need a lot when they first arrive : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-ready-for-baby-to-arrive#post-570279 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:40:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 570279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We installed the car seat at 38 weeks and I think that was the last thing we needed to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-ready-for-baby-to-arrive#post-570273 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:28:29 +0000 lomom 570273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As in, had the carseat and other essentials (crib/bassinet, clothes, diapers, and whatever else you consider essential) ready to go? </p>
