I'm Currently Feeling: | Anyone else stressing? So anyone else finding themselves totally worked up over nothing? I know i've got plenty of time but im sitting here writing out lists atleast three or four times a day of what i still need to get, what im putting in my bag and bumps bag for hospital, and then binning them all because i've come up with different things everytime. even stormed to tescos today to get my nappy wrapper and baby monitors because i felt i needed to get something off these lists (and our tesco has excellant offers on tommee tippee atm) but AHHH anyone else find themselves doing this? i dont wants to beee alonessss  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Im exactly the same ive felt like all ive done this pregnancy is stress out and worry over things i need to do and things that are easily solvable. The lists do help loads though so if i feel stressed out i just make another list lol. Hope you stop stressing out soon  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I did do this for a while then lost all energy and decided whatever I dont have Ill get after I know I have all the basics for now and have monitors etc moses basket sheets blankets and a rather large set of boobies to feed her with so everything else can just wait. relax hun you have plenty of time, however I do keep repacking my bags and crying while doing it Maiya's bag just makes me cry I cant believe Im packing cute little things for my bubs because she will be here soon god what a reality check then I cry when I pack my bag because its horrible filled with the biggest pants I have ever seen massive towels yuk and an assortment of breast pads, and crap charity shop towels so I can just throw them away afterwards(its a waste I know but they were only 50p from a charity shop dont worry I boiled washed them and put loads of fabric softener in them there quite fluffy now). you will get through your list and dont forget if people ask you what you would like as a pressie give them something off your list not only will you save money and your time but you can mark it off your list woop woop   |

| I've started doing the list thing too - writing down everything I still need to buy, everything that needs to be done before the baby arrives (random stuff like painting the bathroom ceiling!?!), books I need to finish reading! I feel like all this totally pointless stuff has to get done before LO arrives. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I did exactly the same! Some days I would look at my list and think, sod it I'll get it another day and other days I would look at it and no matter what else I had planned for the day, it all went out the window because I felt I HAD to get some of these things done!
Perfectly normal hun, blame it on pregnancy hormones lol

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm loving lists at the moment, but think I actually spend so much more time writing then re-writing lists, than I do actually doing all the things I need to do! lol

xx | I'm the same way. I write list after list but do I actually complete anything on these lists...no. Although I have planned to start getting everything ready once September starts so the month goes by quicker. |
