Is anyone else like this?

I get so frustrated with myself sometimes. I am due in about a month and I feel myself becoming very overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with everything, getting things ready for baby, organizing myself at work. It's killing me not knowing exactly when I could go into labor.

I'm the kind of person that needs to feel organized at all times. I think I am in for a rude awakening when the baby gets here.

The baby's room looks like a cyclone hit it because I am waiting for my DH to finish certain things in the room before I can officially put anything away. He's had a lot going on lately as well and hasn't had a lot of time. The only upside is I know he will get it done and at least I have everything I need at this point.

Sorry for the long ramble...I guess I just want to know if anyone can relate. Misery loves company.

I'm not really there yet, but I know we'll be going through this later since DH has to redo our entire 2nd floor (put up new sheetrock walls, electric fixtures etc) before baby is here......so I know come July/August I'll be freaking out trying to get everything done!

I'm only 8 weeks, but I am sure I will feel exactly like you in a few weeks

Re: Is anyone else like this?

yeah, I get overwhelmed and stressed easily AND I am a planner-- it will all come together. With 2 weeks left-- I still feel like I have SO much to do, but it will all get done.

I just make a lot of lists and take pleasure in checking things off. Try to organize yourself so it doesn't feel so overwhelming.

By the end of my next week-- I'd like to be done, and just be able to focus on going into labor-- cause we all know you can plan for that!

It's very hard if you are an organized person to realize that goes out the window when you have a child. Luckily for me, I was a "fly by the seat of my pants" type of gal before my DD but I can see how you organized types must go CRAZY!
I have a friend at work like this who is 8 weeks pregnant. When she hears stories about how the baby takes over, she swears it won't happen to her. All us moms just look at each other and

Hang in there- these last few weeks are so tough!

I still have 2 months left but I feel the same way. Always questioning myself about what I haven't done and what has to get done.

I can totally relate. Every time I look at my expecting countdown, I start to have a mini anxiety attack .
