Preparation questions!!

im 33 weeks and I still have so much to do in the house to get ready for the baby. I already have a 3 year old. Worst case scenario she could be here in 4 weeks! Do you guys think it's too early to start arranging her room, make arrangements for my toddler, washing clothes, packing the bag, etc.?? I have my babyshower next weekend

Im a bit earlier than u, 31w, and my cot is up, clean sheets on, my baby drawers arent assembled yet. I haven't even bought the change topper, but I just got the nappies I ordered, all the baby cloths I already have are clean and my glider is all set up. I'm leaving home to have the baby in the capital cityin 3 weeks though and having my baby shower down there. So I will have a heap of crap to organize when I get home with a newborn. But thats the way the cookie crumbles. Just gotta do what I can now and roll with it

Thanks ladies! I didn't wanna be doing too much too soon but I want to be prepared. Not come home and still have things to do or trying to do them when I'm even bigger or more exhausted

It doesnt hurt to start now. I'm 23 weeks and I'm freaking out. I'm having all my babies furniture delivered next weekend and I want to have my hospital bag packed early so I can enjoy and relax. Also, you don't want to worry last minute when your bigger. That's just my view on it.

I'm 34 weeks and had my shower Sunday and will be washing clothes towels and everything else this week. I have already made plans for my other two kids.

I'm 34 weeks today just finished washing all her clothes I would reccomend doing that until after your shower because you'll get more clothes.  He room is pretty much arranged.  Id make plans for your other child in case this one comes early.  Dont stress though
