“Don’t over shop get as you need stuff ... you really don’t need a lot! Get a good co sleeper that is the same height as your bed! Don’t bother with a nursery it becomes a glorified storage room for the first year anyway ...
“The love to dream swaddles with the arms up work a treat to keep them from startling ... a bouncer is great for when you need some arms free time ... And enjoy the crap out of the newborn snuggles every damn moment because they grow so quickly. Otherwise take it easy, this last part is uncomfortable,” one Instagram user wrote.
Another social media user advised Greteli to be prepared to welcome the baby any time by having her ready-to-go hospital bag for herself and the baby ready.
“Nesting is kicking in! Have your go bags/hospital bags ready. You'll get the nesting floods of energy, use them. I think, sometimes, we focus on all the 'other stuff' in preparation for the arrival of our baby, and our immediate needs are put together hastily, last minute, or not at all.
“Those bags and car seat are important. Babies arrive when they are ready, whether we are or not. Sometimes late, sometimes early. Things will come together. Especially with the familial and tribe support you have. Make time for you and your love. On a side note, your baby has grown a lot! Wow! No wonder you were so tired. You were wise to allow yourself the sleep! Try to relax and destress as often as you can. Especially when you begin your new project. You've got this!”
