I get down on myself because I feel there's so much more I should be doing to prepare for this baby but yet the lost thoughts of being a FTM & not really knowing what I need to be doing at the same time, can I get some feedback back?
1. what I should be doing to entire apartment?
2. where to start in my spare room to prep for baby's room to be?
3. Getting myself ready to be a mother for the things that don't come naturally?
4. Any good useful parenting books anyone would recommend?

1. get covers for ALL the outlets, baby gates to block of stairs/kitchen.
2. if carpet vacuum, if you have the crib put it up hang things on the walls make sure outlets are covered,
3. learn how to "work" a diaper lol. mentally prepare yourself to know you will lose sleep. practice patience, it's always safe to have baby gas drops, so if Babys tummy starts to hurt you have them on deck.
4. none that I know of lol.

@brooklynnsmommy I know my biggest procrastination is not having any storage space & currently that's what my spare room is made up. I Pinterest all these organization ideas but have a hard time putting them into play because I can only do so much with the room I got Lol && the BIGGEST thing is throwing things away I have accumulated over the years. I have been raised since I was old enough (15 yrs old) to work for what I wantedbeing raise with a family of 6 kids so I have shit that is years old but can bring myself to throw it out bc i know i spent hard working money on it. & i have no idea on how to move past that aspect. I'd say I'm a bit of a pack rat/ horder. I really think I need a professional to come in & do a clean swoop lmao. it's pathetic

lmao. I'm pretty good at organizing things, and throwing stuff out.. if I was by you I'd come over and help you out lol. there is this app called let go. and you can sell yourself stuff it may be hard but trust me when I tell you your gonna buy a bunch of stuff for baby. Lol. and your gonna need the room. haha.

@brooklynnsmommy awwe thanks wish u were closer too!! &yes I know i gotta do it. Maybe after tmrws anatomy test it will be a swift kick in the ass with ideas & drive to have a sense of direction bc normally. I'm the biggest OCD freak & probably being off my meds isn't helping the motivation. But im determined to not let it be a last minute project! &maybe I'll check out Let go, maybe getting paid back in a sense for the items will give me more ease to let them go! lol

Lol. trust me your not gonna wAnna put all this shit together when your huge and can barely move lol.
