So, I am 34 weeks pregnant with my forth child and the first without complications. Everything seems to be going so well - it is almost scary. I am nesting big time (like picture me waking up at 2am to discover - GASP - I haven't cleaned the top of the fridge...so I waddle down barefoot and pregnant on a chair to clean it before I can go back to bed...makes complete sense right? The baby will be spending so much time up threre / looking up there! LOL)

Anyway - Since I have a 15 mo. old and a 27 mo. old not many baby things have ever "gone away". I am replacing some of the girly things (bibs, burp cloths, cloths) with the boy things...but I have a nagging sense I am forgetting about something and I can't get over it. Today I noticed that I had no bottle nipples - but that didn't seem to quench it. (I throw out bottle nipples after a year - we only get six at a time and I think they go bad...) Where I try to BF as long as possiable that is still only until about 6 months and I do give the baby bottles of breast milk when I have to go in for CT scans and such.

So - what am I forgetting?!

PS: At least I have comfort in that this is our last...getting rid of some stuff (girly stuff, girl clothing) has been such a great feeling!!!

I would say the only TWO things you really need are a carseat for the newborn and childcare arrangements for your older children when have the baby.

The rest, especially if you're nursing, you can run out and get (or send someone) after the baby is born.

I agree there but also make sure your fridge is packed with food once you are home I sent my BF to the store after I had my last baby, what a mistake, he came home with a 60.00 steak I was not a happy camper! good luck with your baby, you will do just fine!

Not sure if you have family and friends near you, but if not, I would make a freezer full of food. If you search on the cooking board, there have been several posts in the past with receipes and ideas on making complete meals and freezing them.
