Getting ready

Last time I was pregnant I don't recall being too fussed with getting things ready. We had a pile of baby stuff (cot, pram, hand-me-down clothes, etc.) under the stairs, but I didn't start sorting through until the last few weeks before due date. Washing baby clothes, assembling furniture and such.

This time I can't wait. I just want to drag all my stored and newly bought baby stuff out and start sorting and arranging. I even have to stop myself from starting to pack the nappy bag for the hospital. I have allowed myself to make a list, but that's it.

I want to get the cot ready, get the change table up and stocked with varieties of nappies, wipes and onesies, fold down the pram bassinet ready with blankets and all... But it seems a bit premature to do all that now. I'll leave it until August. If I can.
