Not ready

I’m not sure what to do. I’m not ready for this baby. I already have an almost 2 year old. But my flat is a mess. So unorganised and nothing has a home. We are looking at getting big storage boxes but we aren’t in a great place with money. I just don’t want to bring a newborn baby into this mess but I’m already struggling to get around (23 weeks but feeling like 35). My motivation is a big none. I just don’t know what to do or where to start and I need to rant so your welcome for my rant 😆

Honestly, don't stress. It will happen when and how it happens. Baby is not going to mind of there's a box of stuff in the corner of the house 😂

Hi …. Its okay we all have our ups and downs. Have you tried talking to a professional counsellor or therapist. I dont know how many beds you have..May be try selling some stuff that you dont really need right now of storage isnt helpful. Also we have been trying to make space for the baby and putting away unnecessary clothes etc. may be see if an ottoman bed can help with storage. I would suggest you can try speak to your midwife if you have any feelings or a counsellor/therapist.

I find it helpful to remind myself that the guy I bought our 3 bed semi from was 1 of 5 children and LOVED his childhood growing up in our house. There's no way there was enough space for all of them or that they had much of anything but thats not what he remembered. Find storage solutions that work for you, not the kids they don't need to know where anything is. And if you need to wait to save for the things that will work for you long term then that's absolutely fine, or look on marketplace etc, so often people give things away too, doesn't matter if it fits the decor! Real homes are not what you see on instagram and you better believe my house looks great when there's visitors, but if they ever opened a cupboard so much random stuff would come tumbling out!
