Yesterday I was in a somewhat grumpy, irritable mood,and last night I figured out what is it. I am completely overwhelmed. By the evening of the 9th I have got to have 3 bedrooms and a living room completely empty of furniture, So Monday morning Wally the floor guy can start sanding my wood floors. The floors are going to take 3-4 days (sanding, staining, and pol lying). My house is going to be a disaster. After that is done I have to vacuum the walls of all dust, touch up the paint in the living room and hallway, Repair the walls and paint the guest room. Then the fun part.Buying, painting and putting in base boards throughout the house.Sure...I can do all that in 30 days. Also in those 30 days I have a haircut and 2 doctors appointments.
Of course none of this involves the baby's room, except the floors. I need to repair the walls in the baby's room. Steve and I need to agree on paint color(s)which will be interesting, then base boards. Being that this is out first child I do not even know where to start when it comes to buying furniture, strollers, clothes, and every other necessity that comes with having a child. When do I need to start buying these things? Is there a time line to follow? This is the stuff that keeps me up at night, and the stuff that I stress about during the day.
Yes, I could delegate projects out, but when I am in the mind set to get something done...I want it done yesterday. So, we will see how things go and if I can stay on my 30 day time frame for floors and paint.

I'm just proud of you for getting them done now. Don't wait! It'll feel feel so good when your done and ready for the little one to come.
Whoa! Slow down sister! Just take it one step at a time and it will all fall into place! I don't think there is a time line to buying what you need for the baby! I say if you find a great deal buy it! Also, if you wanted to wait a little I am sure people would want to help out with the big items at baby showers!
Just don't kill yourself mm-kay? Take help wherever it comes! It sounds like a lot for one lil ol' pregnant lady! As for baby furniture, get a crib for sure--whenever you want, there is no "time frame" necessarily. But the stroller, bed set, clothes etc...will hopefully come with the baby showers. If anyone asks you when you want to have a shower-do sooner rather than later so you have a better idea of what you will have LEFT to buy once all the showers are OVER and still have time to buy...make sense? Right now you could go to Babies R Us and have them help you start a registry. It will give you an idea of what you will need or want and which direction to start going. They even have lists of the most commonly used items you will need that you never think of. If you need help with anything I am a phone call away! Good luck sweetums!
