Ill-Prepared
In a couple of days, I'll be 27 weeks along. Some people say that's when the third trimester starts; others say it starts at 28 weeks. At any rate, Jonathan and I have completely dropped the ball when it comes to getting ready for this little guy. We have done bupkis. We have not:
- Filled out that pre-admission form for the hospital
- Looked into taking any kind of class (Lamaze, childbirth, Bradley method, newborn care)
- Read up on various models of carseats* in preparation to buy one
- Bought any baby stuff whatsoever
Poor thing...he's going to be sleeping in a laundry basket, I guess. Not really, of course, but I so do not feel like doing a bunch of research and shopping.
* Just today I found out there's some kind of difference between a portable carseat and a regular carseat.

Laundry basket
Why not a laundry basket?
My older son did for a month or two. It was warm, easy to move, light (it was wicker, not plastic). And he certainly didn't mind.
We seem to think now that there has to be a separate item for each distinct task, but it ain't so.
Preparing
I know for a fact that at 26 weeks I had not yet started childbirth classes because that's the week I had T prematurely.
Preparing comes in many forms, and you can never prepare for everything. I'm sure you have a lot going on, and you can take it as it comes.
