Pretty much 36 weeks for all of it.

Yes, me too. It was as a result of my OB telling me that I was 2cm dilated and could "go any time." I spent the next five weeks on the edge of my seat!

Lol, yup, OBs like to get your hopes up. :-) it's true, you could go any time after that, but most likely won't.

This time around I'll know better!

We are totally at that so close, yet so far stage. Gah!

No kidding.  I'm SO done with being pregnant.

I finished buying everything at 29 weeks, but this is my second, so I'm not having a shower. With DD, I waited until after my shower at 34 weeks and had everything ordered by 35 weeks. Although I ended up forgetting some things like nursing pads and had to send DH out when we first got home.

I already bought some nursing stuff like tanks and bras, but I'm waiting until after my milk comes in to buy more pieces.

I plan on waiting until around 35 weeks to start packing the bag and installing the car seat.

...install the car seat base in your car?
Next week (36 weeks)
...pack the hospital bags?
I'll start this week and make a list of essentials
...finish purchasing the baby gear/essentials?
I did that last week.
...purchase nursing clothing?
I'll buy a couple nursing tanks this week but that is it.

...install the car seat base in your car? After my trip to L&D when I was tested for pre-e, we installed it. That was around 35 weeks.


...pack the hospital bags? What hospital bag? We actually talked about packing one on the Saturday of my 36th week and I told dh it was too early. I went into labor 3 days later and dh had to go home after the baby was born and get us stuff.


...finish purchasing the baby gear/essentials? We thought we were done around 35 weeks (just after my shower when we went and purchased things we didn't get that we wanted). DS is 3.5 weeks old now and we are still making trips to Buy Buy Baby for stuff we didn't get.


...purchase nursing clothing?  I got a few things I found on sale around 30 weeks. Then I waited until after ds was born to buy more when I learned what worked best for me.

Ahhh, this good to know. I thought maybe I was behind (30 weeks with none of these crossed off my list yet)!

...install the car seat base in your car?  I think around 35ish weeks...a little early because it was the only time we could get it inspected where we live. 

...pack the hospital bags? I started around 37ish weeks and finished the afternoon that I went in for my induction at 39 weeks. 

...finish purchasing the baby gear/essentials? We finished this pretty early...I think we had everything we felt we needed probably somewhere in the early 30ish week range. 

...purchase nursing clothing? I started buying nursing tanks at 36-37 weeks, bought some tops that doubled as maternity and nursing tops early on. I went out and bought more tanks about a week and a half postpartum.

...install the car seat base in your car? Once we have bought our travel system we will decide if we are getting a base. Last time we just used a seat belt. If we do it will be around 38/39 weeks. My mom arrives at 38 weeks and we will probably only do it after she arrives.
...pack the hospital bags? Around 30-32 weeks
...finish purchasing the baby gear/essentials? Depends on the sales, but hopefully by 35 weeks.
...purchase nursing clothing? I have some bits already, but will be a continous thing, even after baby has arrived.
