So, you are not alone and you will be fine. Make a list of the must have essentials for the first few weeks and hand it off to someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-32687941721396241372009-06-12T00:31:35.830-05:002009-06-12T00:31:35.830-05:00Tracy you will be fine!

I agree with Andrea, a sling is fantastic & I love my Hooter Hider, too...seems I am nursing all over the place these days! They will send you home from the hospital with diapers, right? Just perhaps buy some wipes now...we go through boxes a day it seems! <br />Other than that, I'd just stock up on rest now! <br />Blessings to you my friend!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697831187370043646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-91786040490738362632009-06-11T21:58:16.579-05:002009-06-11T21:58:16.579-05:00Don't sweat the small stuff, it's not impo...Don't sweat the small stuff, it's not important. You have 2 amazing girls, I have no doubt you will do fine with whatever you end up with before she comes.<br /><br />We didn't even have names decided, Sophia just about came home from the hospital with no name. I was too afraid of picking a name and calling the baby that name in fear I'd jinx myself, so you sound very normal to me.jill Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-57312303922444247652009-06-11T17:51:14.660-05:002009-06-11T17:51:14.660-05:00You will be FINE, and baby will too.

If a friend has to buy a pack of diapers for you the day she arrives and she sleeps in an empty dresser drawer lined with something soft for a few days, she'll be fine. She'll be loved and be in a loving family!!! Just get a carseat so you can get her home and don't stress about the rest!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-46913276958327200232009-06-11T12:36:24.815-05:002009-06-11T12:36:24.815-05:00I am the exact same way..

They will occupy her and show her everything they have, they will sing and dance for her and even try feeding her some of their food! You have nothing to worry about - Eloise and Esther have doll beds she will probably fit in and even play diapers that will last for the first day home! All will be fine. She dolesn't need her own bedroom for now because she will sleep in your arms for months! By then it will be winter and it'll be time to put Jed to work.Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106945329083107498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-40285420402652951752009-06-11T10:16:27.331-05:002009-06-11T10:16:27.331-05:00Seriously, they do not need much!

Best swing IMO)The rest of the time she slept with me in a sling. Ohh, get a sling -they are a lifesaver -your hands are free and baby is happy. Serena and Lily has some gorgeous ones and I love hotslings too. Infant car seat-you need that. Then diapers/wipes and some soft petite bateau onesies, a few swaddling blankets and you are set!<br />She will be here soon -I am so excited for you!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538424754230939429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-60310644576069330042009-06-11T09:28:53.752-05:002009-06-11T09:28:53.752-05:00I know how you feel, up until she arrived I think ...I know how you feel, up until she arrived I think I was in denail that she could actually be real... After struggling with IF I was waiting for the other shoes to drop. The only thing that go me to prepare for the baby (not until I was like 32 weeks) was that my duaghter was excited for her and she motivated me to buy things and get prepared to prepare my DD an keep her involved, so maybe if you involve the girls somehow it will be easier.my hope my faith my lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200210530077039760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-32286985514725929872009-06-11T09:24:32.498-05:002009-06-11T09:24:32.498-05:00I think as long as you have a name and some dipes,...I think as long as you have a name and some dipes, you're all good. :)<br />Sending lots of good thoughts your way.Amanda M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10287459817938983138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603114235004851878.post-76530006529256161892009-06-11T08:33:20.885-05:002009-06-11T08:33:20.885-05:00As you well know... that baby just needs her Mamma...As you well know... that baby just needs her Mamma & diapers...
