Time to start preparing..

I’ve decided that its about time I started to prepare for the imminent arrival of baby number three, given that I only have 4-5 weeks to go. At this stage of my last two pregnancies the clothes were washed, pressed and hung in the wardrobe, hospital bag was packed, cot was assembled and all other supplies (nappies etc) were bought, sorted and stored. This time the cot is in the attic with no mattress, some of the clothes were washed but then put in the attic so will probably need done again, my hospital bag is half packed but none of the babies stuff has made its way in yet and I’m not even sure that we have a pram as I loaned it to my aunt months ago and she’s not entirely sure that she still has it.

However I have made a start, today I bought two nursing bras and a breast pump as I intend to breastfeed for at least a year as I did with Jay and Ray, and a few babygrows for the hospital. If I can motivate Mr L tomorrow he can get all the attic stuff and maybe then it I will feel a bit more prepared. This pregnancy has seemed to last for so long that now the end is in sight it just doesn’t seem real. I just better hope the nesting instinct kicks in soon or my washing and ironing is going to start forming mountains all over the house!
