When we were expecting Ben, we had a completed nursery stocked with clothes, bath equipment, diapers, furniture...you name it, we had it, and it was done months before he was due. We weren't done as early with Sam, but we had plenty of waiting to do in a completed nursery before he came. To prepare the boys for Ellie, we moved them in the same room seven months before she arrived. We waited till the last minute for clothes, but we still had a completed nursery and enough unisex onesies that we could welcome a girl home at any moment. Here we are, 5 weeks away from number four and we've done nothing. Yep, nothing. Clothes aren't washed, a baby book has not been bought. We have no going home outfit for sport. We still haven't even 100% decided on a name. No rooms have been moved. In fact, we are now questioning the original room swap we had planned. We are 5 weeks away and we've done nothing to prepare for his arrival. We have 3/4 of a completed "where are the kids going while we're at the hospital plan" but 3/4 isn't making me feel confident right now. I know it will get done and I know we still have 5 weeks, but I would like to be able to say we have one thing done and ready to go.
Ben is all about hiding from us lately. He's discovered that hiding in the pillows of our bed makes him really hard to find!
