Feeling unprepared...

I'm a FTM at 35wks5days. I feel like I won't have everything ready. I still need to pack my bag wash the new baby clothes clean up what will be baby's room and I haven't had my baby shower yet. It just feels a little overwhelming.

Any other moms feeling like this?

In my family, we don't buy anything until the baby is born. (Something about bad luck that I don't believe in) but since I'm 18 with and american baby daddy who can't work here in Canada yet, and my mom is basically buying everything, I don't have a choice. Needless to say, I'm totally unprepared.

As crazy as it may sound, all the things that you think you need to have done? They really don't. The thing your baby needs most, he or she already has...you :) take a breath, do what you can, but don't stress about anything that doesn't get done before the baby is here...it will be ok.

I know! I'm due March 10th but I'm expecting my little Jellybean to show up early. So it just makes me even more nervous.

Absolutely! I will be 34 weeks tomorrow and I'm already feeling the time crunch! I want everything done right now, but I can only do so much every day. One step at a time!

I feel the same way because I'm just completely exhausted,  but I'm very blessed that my husband and two older daughters are helping finish up the nursery by washing his clothes and putting it away.
