So as most of you know this is my first baby and have no idea what's going to go on after my little man is born SO I have developed an unhealthy addiction to grocery shopping and such!! I feel the need to stock up on EVERYTHING like I'm never going to leave my house after he's here!!!! I still have 4 weeks but my freezer, fridge, and pantry are all jam packed to the max and I just keep buying more!!!!!!

Some of you will laugh but I have been waiting at least a month or so for christmas cards to come out and now that they have I already bought all I need and have half of them filled out and ready to send off after I get baby's pictures made and put in them!!!

To add to it, my hospital bag has been packed for a few weeks already and all my baby stuff has been washed and set up for awhile now too.. I kind of think I'm going crazy LOL

Most of you know how much of a planner I am and as of right now I have no idea when Jaxon will come so I guess I feel the need to be ready in as many ways as possible. Please tell me I'm not crazy or going overboard!?

If you start cleaning things to the point of ridiculousness, it's called nesting. What you're doing now I think is called being really, really, really well-prepared

My only thought is that while your fridge, freezer, and pantry are full, are there quick meals you can heat up/make? That was the biggest challenge for me because I didn't feel like I had a lot of time/ability to actually put something together (even just making a sandwich). Anything you can pop in the microwave and then scoop out onto a plate is good.

Oh, and make sure your car seat is installed!

The Christmas card thing is pretty awesome, though. I need to get on ordering my cards, but frankly I feel like I don't have a good picture to use :embarassed: Definitely no family pics, but I don't even have a good one of our son by himself! I am not usually a huge fan of the photo cards, but my family (which is the vast majority of my Christmas card list) loves pictures and actually gets upset if we don't send them. Maybe we can do regular cards with a picture in it.

I am completely opposite. My c/s is tomorrow and I have to be at the hospital at 5am. My bag isn't completely packed yet, my DH doesn't have a bag packed. We put the carseat in the car today. We just bought a changing pad today. I have laundry all over my kitchen table, I desperately need to vacuum, my freezer/fridge/pantry is empty, and I have no idea what we are even having for dinner tonight. I don't really care either because I'm uncomfortable as snot and I'm not getting off the couch.

Be glad you did your extra preparation. We are both totally normal, even at the opposite ends of the scale.

You make me very anxious. Our due dates are so close together that I feel like I am behind. You should come to my house and get me ready. I still haven't washed any of the baby clothes yet or packed a bag. This is my second time and I should know better especially since he came early.

I don't think you're going overboard - I have a similar type personality to you, and it's driving me nuts that I haven't been able to do as much as I would like. We have our last shower this weekend so I wanted to wait to see everything we got and make decisions on returns/exchanges before I opened/washed anything! I have a feeling the next few weeks will be full of washing and organizing...I also want to go ahead after this shower and purchase the remaining items we need, but I may have to hold off because my in-laws haven't given us anything yet and I feel like we should wait to see what they might do. Can't wait forever, though! I haven't really been stocking up on food or other items, but chickybuns, the dog food is a great idea
