I completely feel like I'm drowning I'm 30 weeks and I have nothing done in my sons room mainly cause my finacee works long hours and barely has days off and I can't lift the heavy items out. And my SIL told me to stop buying stuff and wait for the baby shower cause I'll get everything I need so I probably won't feel better 3 weeks before I have my son lol.

We have the essentials to (some) like the diaper genie, diapers, wipes, breast pump, bottles etc

@tgeezy, the hardest part is deciding what u want. I'll be honest my husband and I have spent almost every single night for like 2 months adding items to our list and taking them off etc. it's hard and at first it's fun then it just becomes draining. Following the suggested stuff from baby registry sites helps. We used Amazon and buy buy baby and they have a guideline. That helped a lot. You just have to know what your NEEDS are. Essentials. Once u have that down then it gets easier. And if u are like us you will probably waste a lot of time comparing reviews and watching videos on YouTube to see the products lol. I honestly can't wait till we have all her stuff. I think knowing how much clothing she needs is the hardest. Like how long will she be newborn size etc, even with diapers lol. P

@kaity0117, do you have a lot of the essential stuff already?

@alhynele, damnit lol I was really hoping the closer you get the more prepared you feel! I'm sure it will help to knock out some of the big stuff but there's just so much!! Did you use some sort of checklist or anything?

We feel the same way. We are almost done with her room and have a lot of things. We also waited till the third trimester and well we still just have moments where we are like "omg this is really happening, are we really ready?" I don't think the panic goes away lol

If you start getting the basics you will feel better but at 8 months with lots of things I am still panicking
