are we ever truly ready?

[kirstybumx3]

im only 27+4 so im not concerned just yet, but ive been thining about labour.
(partially because I had a dream last night my waters broke on my OH head, strange!!!)

are we ever really prepared for labour and having a new baby?
when should we be 'ready'?
I know so many people having their babies early just lately, and on here ive read about some early babies too.. up to around 4 weeks early..
this never crossed my mind!!!
im worried I wont have everything in place for my little boys arrival, at what point should everything be sorted and waiting??? x

I am SO paranoid about something happening so early! I have things ready for when I'll be about 32 weeks. We'll be 4hrs from home for a week for my baby shower and we'll have the car seat ready and a couple bags packed (one for bub and my bag will have my hospital essentials in it) and my parents have their 'grandma and grandad's port-a-cot' ready lol.
I know it's highly unlikely He'll show up SO early as we're both fine but I still can't stand the thought of not being 'ready'..... by 'ready' I mean just the bags
