So, when the OB said ‘come back in 2 weeks and then we’ll schedule a C-section for 10 days after that’ I went into panic mode a bit. Not about the baby nearly being here, but about being ready for the baby to nearly be here!
I still did not have:
The Amby Hammock
Sheets for the cot
Bumper for the cot
So I went online on Sunday and bought the Amby. It was delivered yesterday. WOW!
Then on Tuesday, I remembered that a friend on Mumsnet, when I had expressed concern about the lack of a baby bumper, which are not recommended for small babies due to possibility of suffocation, whereas I was worried about baby hitting its head, told me about the Airwave Cot Bumper. That was ordered Monday. I received it yesterday. WOW!
Then Wednesday I popped into Mamas and Papas to look at their sheets, as they had been recommended by a friend. The problem I had was that they had no waterproof mattress covers. In fact, when I asked about them, the sales woman looked surprised I would even want them because ‘all of our mattresses are specially covered already.’ To which I replied ‘lovely, but I didn’t buy my mattress here.’ And promptly left. So a web search for waterproof mattress covers sent me to: John Lewis. Where I also found sheets. So those were ordered on Wednesday. They arrived today. WOW!
So within 5 days, I had everything left on my list for baby.
Now I just need to put the sheets and bumper on the cot and set up the Amby.
And have a baby. 🙂
