Scared yet excited?

Jas029 · Nov 11th, 2009, 13:07 PM

Ok.. Today I just realized I'm only two weeks from my third trimester.
I'm so excited because that means my L/O will be here in just afew short months!
Yet I'm scared. I have NOTHING set up yet for my L/O..
His "nursery" still looks like a computer lab.. We don't even have a bassinet for him!

What if I have a preemie? I'm not prepared at all for this child to come early!

We have plunty of clothes and some baby things (Strollers/ect) but we have nothing set up and like I said, No bassinet!

Is anyone unprepared still or am I just like the lone wolf for not having every ready or almost ready?

Feedback is appreciated although it might take me a day or so to reply because I'm spending the night at my grandparents tonight for the first time in.. before I was pregnant so over 6 months!
(Wish me luck because my grandma is still alittle unsettled about the whole me being pregnant thing. It doesn't help that I'm the youngest grandchild out of 6 and I'm the first one having a child..)

Thanks for reading!

Hi hun, I wouldn't worry too much, you've got 15 weeks, realistically to set it up, that's plenty of time.

Harry was born 10 weeks early and we had nothing even bought, never mind set up!! In the time that he was in hospital, as hard as it was, we managed to buy everything and set it up.

Don't worry, be happy

I try not to but it just keeps going through my mind...
I'm the kinda person that like's to be prepared for things and I realized I'm really not prepared for a preemie at all!

I have nothing at all. :/ im worried to buy anything. i wasn't able to find out what it is and just having to much trouble finding neutral items i actually like.. ill probably start within the next few weeks though.

I don't think any preemie mum is ever prepared for a preemie because you don't expect it. I certainly didn't!

Between my grandma's, my aunt and uncle and my mom I haven't had to worry about baby shopping...
They go out and buy everything!

This boy already has a bigger wardrobe then me.

Even before I found out the sex there was alot of unisex stuff they already bought.

Gotta love family..

I didn't prepare anything until I was pretty far on...found it hard to make decisons etc! Try not to worry about it too much, and just start looking now
