So stressed ! Need to vent :( I'm gonna lose my mind

Long story short? Or I'm gonna try to make it short. I'm 36W and we have 9 DAYS to move into the house we are BUYING. The reason we have 9 days is cause we were renting another property and well our lease ends the 20th. I am sooooo stressed because the house we are buying still needs work. Our bedroom is half way painted. Our living room does not have trim. Our kitchen STILL needs the counters put on and well I was just informed my stupid husband cracked the tile and we need to replace it... How the hell are we suppose to replace a whole floor , finish the other stuff and MOVE our things in 9 days!? Or am I just over exaggerating? My husband is taking his sweet little time and is like ooh well make it we have plenty of time but it takes him 9 damn days just to throw the trash for me ! I wish I could just move stuff myself and get situated but uh being 36W is so hard. Today I was trying to pack up things to have him take them and half way through I started getting small contractions and had to stop. Now my feet are so swollen and I'm exhausted but I NEED to do stuff. I dont have any friends so I can't ask for help, my mom is 60yrs old lol so she can't help me much. I have to ***** and yell at my husband to do anything and I just don't know what to do. I feel like I'm alone in this whole situation :( and I'm scare me stressing so much will cause me to go into early labor and I definitely dont wanna have that and not be moved into the house at all ! :(

The important thing is that you take care of you. And try not to over do it. Don't worry about the house not being done a lot of ppl stay in their homes while renovations are going on :) just make sure when they are working with paint you stay in a different room away from fumes.
  I know being pregnant with a toddler is hard enough without having to get moving done. what if you left for the day and told your hubby you need a certain room packed before you get back, I feel like guys do better when we aren't there to micromanage them. Or what if you asked to hire someone to help you pack. Where I live many of our community members live off of odd jobs and would more than happy to help.
  We lost our home in a terrible storm almost 3 years ago I was pregnant with my first, it was heart wrenching. We hired 2 stay at home moms who do odd jobs to come help me salvage what was left of our belongings. They only charged $10 for 4 hours of help. And we bought them lunch. It was horrible having to move again! I hated it but I am excited we are in a better home now than we were before. Way better for my little's.
  Sorry that was so long. Basically im trying to say focus on the good stuff. Remember you are moving somewhere better for you guys. Give your significant other a chance to get things done while you go out and relax and if all else fails hire someone for cheap to come help. It'll be over before you know it. :)

Its okay ! Calm down. Everything will fall into place. Just keep reminding him things need to be ready for that baby. The baby can be here at any time. I'm on the same boat with my husband. Today i flipped out because I'm almost 38 weeks(already have a 2 year old) and we need to have the nursery ready. I am no longer playing games. I let him have his down time so the next time we have that conversation he cant say i didnt let him play xbox with his friends for a bit. He understands tho that our project needs to be finished.

I have a 2 in a half year old and shes been super clingy. So it makes it harder for me to pack up things but its all just so over whelming I feel lost :(
I tell him everyday but again I have to scream my head off to just get one thing across. Like today the small stuff I did pack for this baby coming I had to yell for hours before be even loaded it then another couple hours went by and he FINALLY decided to take it
