Carseat & get packing...

Hi all...

I am trying to decide when is the right time to install the carseat and pack stuff for the hospital. For some reason I cannot seem to remember when we did this with our first born. Thanks a bunch.

Well, in the child preparation classes my husband and I took, they said to have your stuff ready and packed by 37 weeks. But my family was throwing my baby shower when I was about 34 weeks, and it was a 4 hour drive to get there. SO I packed my stuff before we left for the shower in case I went into labor in another city...I would at least have my stuff with me. Oh, yeah, I got the car seat at the shower and my husband installed it the night we got home. (He actually unpacked everything and put it all together and played with it).

Hope that helps...
