Big surprise, it's time
New dad here currently in the hospital as my wife is induced at just over 36 weeks. We spent months putting together a birth plan, took our birth class last week, and planned to put our go-bag together today. Well, we had some complications and now baby girl will be here soon, probably today.
I feel horrible. We didn't have a bag ready, I'm still finishing a bathroom remodel at home, the car seat is not even out of the box, I haven't sanitized any bottles... I feel totally unprepared. Nothing went the way we hoped.
I'm looking for a little solidary here. Was anyone surprised by an early birth, felt unprepared, and everything turned out ok? Please tell me I'm but the first parent to feel so bad for this!
I hope you and your families are doing well.
Edit: 8/10, thanks so much for all your replies, I've read them all and took a lot of the advice. I have yet to install the car seat, but I have it. Was able to run home and get things together. Asked my family for help with tangential things. Now, I'm just enjoying the excitement and supporting my wife as we near the end of the road. Thank you all!
