Rightio. It’s officially 1 and abit weeks until I pop this baby out and I’ve been abit slack on the preparations so it’s time to get myself organised and ready!!
FINALLY I’ve packed my hospital bag. Dunno why but I’ve been putting it off and off but I eventually gave in and realised shit I actually have to do this. So….. what have I packed? Pretty much everything except the kitchen sink. We went shopping to primark this week so I could buy some shorts and strappy tops to pack. Even treated myself to a new pack of pants! So in they went. I’ve not bothered with socks cause let’s face it it’s June it’s hot and I’ve not been able to get regular shoes on for weeks now. So I’ve also go shampoo conditioner and shower gel toothpaste and a toothbrush. All the boring shit went in first to get it out the way. Not forgetting those sanitary pads because you bleed like a mother fucker after having a baby! In goes in a bar of chocolate and bag of haribo because hey chocolate just makes everything better! Not forgetting a water bottle medication and a book. PLEASE somebody remind me to pack my phone charger when I go into Labor! Probabley the thing I will be most pissed off if I end up forgetting!! Baby’s bag is just the obvious really. Clothes, Muslin cloths, nappies and milk ect ect not forgetting her first outfit that I’ve had picked out for AGES and her cute little bobble hat. Last thing to go in was a little bag of pressies for Rex. So that when he comes to visit his new sister she has some presents for him 💕
Another priority for me was getting the crib out and buying a new matress because that’s what’s recommended so tonight we found out the crib unwrapped the new matress and put the sheet on so baby bed is all ready and raring to go! all we need now is a tiny baby to fill it.
This may sound ridiculous but a big priority for me is keeping the house clean and tidy. Well as much as I can with a messy 3 year old lurking around every corner! Making sure the washing up is done every night because I won’t going into labour in the middle of the night and leaving a mess/washing up in the sink so weve been keeping on top of the tidying which is really nice now i actually have time to do it with not being at work.
Next on the list is car! For anyone who knows my hubby his car is a pit of rubbish. So tomorow he is cleaning that little bugger out till it’s spotless. Not a chance in hell I’m bringing a new baby home from hospital in a messy car!!
And last but not least one of the most important things for me is sort my body out! And by that I mean tidy up my lady bits and shave me legs which haven’t been done in what feels like eternity! Cause let’s face it giving birth is bad enough without the midwife having a face full of hairy snatch to contend with so I’m really doing them a favour. Fucking hell that’s a mission and a half isn’t it… trying to shave your fanny when you can’t see bugger all! Christ almighty climbing Mount Everest in flip flops would have been easier, it took me a lifetime but sheer determination and I got there in the end. I thought the legs would be the easy part how wrong could I be. You ever tried reaching your ankle with a 9 month old baby in the sodding way? I just about made it without slipping over in the shower I didn’t get away unscathed though multiple cuts from just trying to reach but again I got there in the end. Hopefully I don’t have to go over it a second time before baby comes!!
So that’s it… bags packed, cot ready all we need now is a baby. Which could come anytime in the next 3 weeks. Anyone got any predictions when she’s coming? Let me know in the comments.
