33+3 … we have so much to do & despite being a staunch member of the ‘babies don’t need that much stuff’ club I’m starting to panic.

  • Car seat - nope, we’ve chosen one & do have the money for it though.
  • Pram - nope.
  • Sling - nope, going to wait until J is home, I won’t be able to sling for a good few weeks post section anyway.
  • Cot - in pieces in the loft somewhere, no mattress, no room to put it up because there are too many boxes in our room (can’t unpack the boxes yet because no storage).
  • Baby clothes - have a large box full, not sure of what because we have nowhere to put them.
  • Nappies - have a few but seem to have lost the most containing most of them.
  • Breast pump - yup, but can’t find the steriliser.
  • Cot bedding/blankets etc - think we’re okay here but I wanted to try a swaddling blanket (I’ll probably end up forgetting about it).
  • Hats - baby has loads of hats.  
  • Bath stuff - have a baby bath chair somewhere, I’ve never bothered with all the baby bath stuff.
  • Changing mat - nope but I found the changing mat cover.
  • Hospital bags - not packed, no lists made.  
  • Postnatal stuff (pads, breast pads, clothes etc) for me - nope   

Of course this is overshadowed by the fact that we still don’t have plumbing in the kitchen or any electricity downstairs tra la la!
