[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, OCD? This is way beyond normal nesting!
OP, you've gone a little coocoo.
But, we forgive you as you are expecting.[/quote]

OP here. I do suffer from mild OCD. The main thing is I will be the one to handle all of this stuff even after the baby comes, so I’m saving myself from doing it with it a baby. He hates clutter but never seems to mind when he buys stuff for no reason. All the stuff I bought fits in a walk-in closet in the guest room that we never use. The only things out are things for the baby like a swing, bouncer, and some stuff I will be making freezer meals with. [/quote]

I think you need to dial it down.  Admit that you went a bit overboard to him (and yourself) and ask him for some grace in return.  You’re not going to be in a bunker you will be making plenty of trips to cvs.  Meanwhile please see someone about your anxiety for many of us it gets worse after birth (although better for some) and you really want to have a therapist on hand you can talk to and get prescription from if necessary.  Also you need to start outsourcing and letting dh take care of some things, even if it’s not to your standards.  [/quote]

OP here. No. I won’t be making any trips to the store. My husband works 11-12 hour days. We will not have any help because we are not comfortable given the pandemic. He has made it clear he doesn’t want any childcare help ( we considered a PT nanny at one point) because we want to protect our baby as much as possible. My husband hates having packages constantly delivered and gets annoyed. I decided to save myself the time since I will be doing all of the shopping, meal prep, and cooking once the baby gets here as I usually do.

On a side note, I had two friends says the pampers they bought from Amazon were counterfeit. Apparently that is becoming a thing with third party sellers. Also amazon has been called out for selling expired items like formula. I don’t really trust it for baby products like that. [/quote]

Ok, I see why you annoy your husband.

You will have to take the baby to the doctor.  You will need a 6 week checkup.  [/quote]

OP here. Actually no we won’t. My husband found a service where the pediatrician and doctors come to your house. He did not want our baby in a doctors office. [/quote]

Does the OB bring his/her own stirrups?

Do they isolate from everyone else?

I don’t believe you.[/quote]
