I prepared and the Universe laughed. When my son was born I realized I had too much stuff. It is when I became a minimalist - for my manageability and sanity. He is now 32 yo and is getting married. Plus, he became an opera singer. Enjoy each moment.
If your little one ends up sick and throws up or blows out the other end a few times in the night, you may want a little bit more than just 2 sheets. Sure, you'll wash it right away, but you'd want to go back to bed and have your little guy go back to sleep too and if you have one sheet in the washer and one in the dryer, you're left with nothing. Just a suggestion ;).
I am so ready for you to have your little one! Everywhere I look something new is happening and that's the beauty of it all. I wish you and your little family the best! I hope it all goes as smooth as possible for you!
So exciting! For what it’s worth, I’d get 2-3 extra bassinet/crib sheets. You will go through them very quickly when he wets, gets sick, etc while in bed. I loved nesting when I was expecting. Enjoy it!
I enjoyed watching this. I had my son at 21. I didn’t have a nursery. I didn’t get to experience this aspect of pregnancy. My dad died when I turned 18. I had to move out of my home. And didn’t get to even go through his room. He raised me after my mom died. So when I got pregnant, my life wasn’t in a place of peace or comfort. I was just working and trying to make things work. So it’s fun to get to see these experiences.
Hi Cathrin! I manage a Peds practice- you can always talk to your Pediatrician regarding diaper rash creams and washes. Our practice also carries samples of Dreft, baby friendly detergent and other samples for moms to try.
As a mother of 4 kids, you will always need something that you do not have. Each kid is different and so when you think you have being a parent down the next one will blow all that away.
Hello Catherine, thank you so much for your inspiration in my TH-cam journey. You have helped me a lot in the TH-cam creating. I also got epidemic sound through your promotion. Thank you very much I wish you all the best in your journey of motherhood.
Please don’t trust the forehead monitor and only do a rectal thermometer. I got mastitis and was running a 102 fever and it always said 98 degrees when compared to the 102 mouth one. Your pediatrician will also tell you to get a rectal thermometer
This is your permission to forget about hanging or folding the tiny onesies! Pick a drawer and just toss them right in. They're going to get grown out of, stained, etc. so quickly! ❤ I can't wait to see reaction vids 2 years from now (or reaction to these during your next pregnancy!) to see what you changed, laugh at, hold true to! I'm so absolutely stoked for you - new babes are so exciting. 😊
Babies have a mind of their own and come early. Wash the baby clothes now. My water broke at 35 weeks and I was packing my hospital bag while in labor and having my husband install the car seat.
Total mommy mode here: pardon me for the unsolicited advice. Wait to get a lot of diaper rash creams, personally my baby can only handle the dOTERRA one and it does suck because I had prepared with a few more :c. On another note, I love this era of you :) I'm so excited for a babyyyyy.
Waiting for diapers is probably the best idea! That little guy is going to decide what he can, cant and wont use anyways when it comes to soap, diapers, bottle nipples, pacifiers, all of it. My 1st daughter could not wear pampers withought getting a rash...I had hundreds of them that i couldnt use...my second was very sensory sensitive and wouldnt use certain blankets and stuff because she didnt like the way it felt. Youll have to do some trial and error and see what works best for both of you. ❤
When I got pregnant of my 1st girl i know this is crazy but TH-cam kept introducing me videos of stillbirth babies that I end up having a nightmares, that my baby was born prematurely and my baby was in fact was born at 34 weeks! 😭 but I guess bcus I was GD! Anyway, I’m excited for you! I always love watching videos pregnant doing NESTING!
can you possibly do an update about your skin? it looks amazing and I see you introduced gluten back so I was curious to know how long you avoided stuff and what have you been able to bring back and still stay clear
I thought I was the only one hanging a million little baby sleepers... Loved the video as I am in the exact same spot now. AND do your BASKETS best decision ever. My 3 year old is stil using his baskets and it even helped him dress himself now.
So so excited to see this next chapter with you your gonna be the best mama just always remember to trust your instincs and what you feel is right for you ❤
Make sure you wash in Dreft....other soaps/detergents remove the fire retardant from baby clothes. Make sure you have at least 1 pkg of newborn size diaper. How did it feel the 1st time you heard yourself say MY Son???
Ooh!! also incorporate an empty container bin in the bottom for the clothes that are to small, toss in there and you can fold and pack away it once a month.
Beautiful nursery. I would definitely put some onesies in the dresser and plenty of crib sheets as you will find with newborns they can spit up quite a bit xxx
Just had my first baby boy in April. My recurring dream was forgetting to feed him! 😅 also, if you have a hard time getting him to latch (I did), I highly recommend meeting with a lactation specialist. It was the best!
It sounds like Coca Cola is your craving LOL With my oldest daughter I was all about Cantaloupe, and Arizona Green Tea with Plum (I wish I could still find it!), and with my youngest daughter it was steak. I couldn't get enough of it lol
I'm not sure of when you were actually due but I hope you and the tiny human are doing ok. I do have to admit that It's kinda weird not seeing updates from you but I'm not complaining, just thinking about you. Much love
Don’t mind me watching every video and every IG story PRAYING for a mention of what’s going on with the pod. Seriously starting to worry about the reasoning since there’s been ZERO said about it. Is Patricia ok?? I know that it’s up to you how much of your life you share and we aren’t owed any explanations but I can’t help but be concerned and curious since us “OG followers” have been invested in your journey for so long!
I am not up to date on the podcast. And I don’t catch every instagram story because I am working several jobs. What are you concerned about? What happened?
@@StormSmith they never missed a single week for an entire season and a half and then suddenly, radio silence without any explanation. I’m concerned that they aren’t giving any information because the reason is something very personal or concerning. It’s so hard to be invested in the content (which is about their personal lives) and then also know that they must be allowed boundaries and that we aren’t owed any explanation.
@@AMothersNature my assumption is baby boy has been born. Or is so close that they are taking a break. I figured radio silence would occur around the same time. Of course Catherine would want to enjoy that privately. And as organized as she is, I assume there is a small back log of video to post in the mean time. But those are my assumptions. Regardless I appreciate anything they have been willing to share. I’ve enjoyed watching the journey and find it truly inspirational. And as I’ve stated, because I didn’t really get to enjoy my pregnancy experience or baby journey, I am enjoying seeing Catherine’s.
@@StormSmith she’s still pregnant and posting to her IG stories every day so baby is definitely not the reason for no pod. She did say she has videos to post while she is on Maternity leave and the content she’s been posting here on YT is definitely not in real time and probably won’t be for a long while.
@@AMothersNature I just saw the insta stories. Still pregnant. But perhaps just busy with the workshop tour and that’s why no pod? Workshop tour was not on my radar because I couldn’t afford to go.
It is SO human nature to fill up our space. 🙃(We plan on moving and my hubby is scared I’ll just get more stuff 😂) You’ll know when that instinctive nesting kicks in, usually a sudden burst of energy right not too long before you go into labor. That’s great to know what gender the baby will be in advance because you know just what to get as far as clothes!! Looks amazing, girl!!❤❤
You could create a registry and just keep it private 😊 that’s what I did and then it helped me keep track of what I needed/didn’t need .. or items I was debating between. Plus the 15% discount when you get two months out from your due date 😅
I’m so excited to see all the process you’re doing. I just wanted to ask you to grab you a Safety Baby Healthcare and Grooming Kit. It was the best decision that my best friend received from her baby shower.😊
IDK if you would like this.. but you could hang things on the back of the doors to the bedroom and closet doors...just another idea to store things(: I have four kids(: Good Luck
I’m a momma of 4. I will say boys are so much easier than girls. (Except for when they get their license… then it gets crazy!) congratulations 🎉 on having a baby boy!

Love seeing you organize his little things. It's so exciting knowing your baby boy will be here soon. Time is flying!

So sorry for your loss. I'm proud of you for doing the best you could!
@@CarolaEugeniaShady thank you so much. You have no idea how much that means.
I know how you feel. We have been trying to clean our house for several months also and it has been so hard to get started and finish with everything.

IKEA sells skubb drawer organizers in white that should fit his drawers perfectly ❤
Thank you for the lovely vlog! So excited all the baby stuff and organizing 🥰
Congratulations
You are waddling 😂lol I love it!!!

Yes 🥰😁 I’m in my second pregnancy. 12 weeks pregnant and I won’t have a baby room, no crib etc 😮😂
Babies have a mind of their own and come early. Wash the baby clothes now. My water broke at 35 weeks and I was packing my hospital bag while in labor and having my husband install the car seat.
Nice video
Everything is looking good❤So excited for you
Coffee shop is in my neck of the woods! I’ll have to try it out!

Oh yeah and leave room for lots and lots of toooooys!!😘
Your going to be such a good mum! I am loving these videos Cathrin keep going your going to be such a brilliant mum

“I’m quickly realising this is going to be this snowball project”,- should be my life’s motto 😅❤
YAY

What happened to your hand Cathrin??
I wanna know too!
It's the simple things that bring such joy. And the organizing is the nesting. LOL God Bless
Please post more!
can you possibly do an update about your skin? it looks amazing and I see you introduced gluten back so I was curious to know how long you avoided stuff and what have you been able to bring back and still stay clear
Loved the opening credit transition with the car! So cooool! You always inspire!
I thought I was the only one hanging a million little baby sleepers... Loved the video as I am in the exact same spot now. AND do your BASKETS best decision ever. My 3 year old is stil using his baskets and it even helped him dress himself now.
I would suggest to use the spare curtain rod to put in the closet and hang more clothes!
So so excited to see this next chapter with you your gonna be the best mama just always remember to trust your instincs and what you feel is right for you ❤
Ahhhhh June 29th is my bday!
Make sure you wash in Dreft....other soaps/detergents remove the fire retardant from baby clothes. Make sure you have at least 1 pkg of newborn size diaper. How did it feel the 1st time you heard yourself say MY Son???

I’m so excited for the baby and the workshop tour! I’m trying to get my ticket!
Hi Cathrin good morning happy Wednesday morning and happy belated 4th of July Independence day and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

I feel like it is hard to organize and renovate. That is why things aren't that organized probably.
You could create a registry and just keep it private 😊 that’s what I did and then it helped me keep track of what I needed/didn’t need .. or items I was debating between. Plus the 15% discount when you get two months out from your due date 😅
I was obsessed with coke with my 3rd daughter
Since you're not having a shower or a registry, I decided I'm gifting you my 4th trimester course! Definitely a must have! 😉
I’m new here so I’m curious is she married
good luck for the workshop:D I am really happy that you are sharing and helping others! Can't wait for the baby as well! you rock mama❤
