Overwhelmed

Anyone feeling so overwhelmed with how much you need to do before baby comes? It's our first bub so we have to get everything and we still have things to do around the house as we recently moved (crazy to do it whilst pregnant I know) sat here making lists of things we need and do and feel like my head is going to explode 😅

i am stressing so badly to the point i’m having the most vivid dreams!
i’m panicking about what we need to get and organise and last night i dreamt i had the baby, had no cot, no moses basket, no car seat, no bottles!
the poor baby got left at home on her own whilst i went out to a store supposedly that was matalan to buy a moses basket!😂

i’ve got to calm down😂

Ahahah I had a similar dream that baby came and all his clothes and bedsheets were unwashed and we had literally nothing ready 😂 glad I’m not the only one!!

Yes! I have a 2 year old already and have decided to move all the rooms around so I can move my eldest into his room for Christmas and use the nursery for baby no2. I have so much in storage at my mums as well so probably won’t even get the chance to think about that until December. Xx

Yes! I feel like it could suffocate me at this point. I need to move also but currently trapped and that alone is stressing me out. Argh

Yes! We only sold our house a few weeks ago so I’m keeping everything crossed I can get moved into our new home before Christmas, or at least before baby arrives! I’ve only bought a few outfits and ordered the pram, desperate to start on the nursery but not possible at this stage! X

Just remember that the main thing you need straight away is a what the baby will wear for the first week, car seat to bring them home in, and where they’re going to sleep, where you’re going to change them
Everything else you can get as you go along, and you’ll know what you need now. Delivery is only 1-2 days, supermarkets have got essentials, you’ll be absolutely fine. Focus on the most immediate necessity

You’re not alone!! We moved 3 weeks ago! I feel exhausted and my feet and hands started to swell up since then! There’s just too much to do and get for the house! And now I’ve decided I’m actually going to turn the 2nd bedroom into a nursery! I wasn’t sure at first but I will and there’s just soooo much and I’m soooo overwhelmed!
So yep, you’re not alone 🙏🏼😭🫶🏼

I feel you. First baby here as well, 25 weeks and it's insane how much stuff you need. We haven't even started work on the nursery 😂😳
One step at a time, I guess.
