It's totally true. It takes time to prepare for a baby. The nine months of pregnancy is a wonderful time to await the life change that your child will bring. But it's also a time when you need to buy items, set up a nursery, rearrange your home, and so on.
We did the normal preparations early, having the swing, bouncy seat, pack 'n' play, etc. ready well in advance. The co-sleeper was attached to our bed for at least the past couple of months, and the car seat was on the living room floor for several weeks. This was a nice way to get both us and our cats used to the upcoming adjustment.
When we headed out of our house on Friday, February 20th to the hospital, we were thinking, "Well, we didn't have this one last weekend for preparations, but at least we're totally ready!"
And we were. Clean house. Baby items appropriately placed. Etc.
After just a few days, here's what her pack 'n' play looks like; can you even find the baby?

I can't help but think how that same 'pack-n-play' will look in a matter of months!! It will be bare except for a sleeping/rolling/ wiggle-ing baby!! She is beautiful (& yes, I did find the baby!!).
Ha ha ha.... this is only the beginning!
