Freaking out today
I still have so much to get done before  arrives. I've been pretty calm about it and hacking at my list but for some reason I'm super restless today and panicing that I can't focus so I've literally done NOTHING productive in the last hour. I'm at teh verge of tears and just want to go back to bed and wake up and have it all done.
Where the HECK is this last minute energy spurt I'm suppose to have???? I need it because I can barely function these days!!!
While everyone else is dying for their babies to come, I'm praying she doesn't come before her due date, which makes me feel like a bad person.
I just feel like I need to have everythign ready and perfect before she comes or I will be a frazzled mess.......
Is this normal.... what the HELL is wrong with me today???
Ughhhhh Sorry about the vent

Oh sweetie,im sorry your feeling like this today, its hormonal and the anticipation of the little one coming. You need to just relax today if you feeling like this have some tea, put ur feet up.
And its normal to feel overwhelmed, and your not a bad person that you hope she doesnt come early. you just want everything perfect for her. it sounds like a caring mother to me.

Re: Freaking out today
okay, so sit at the computer until 11 to 'gather some energy' and then get up and do ONE thing.
once that ONE thing is done, sit back down for 15 or so minutes and then get up and do ONE more thing...
Do things little by little....so you feel less overwhelmed...

Re: Freaking out today
its TOTALLY NORMAL! I have exactly one month left today before my c-section and although I cannot wait to meet my boys I am SO stressed with the last minute to-do's. I keep saying prayers that I don't go early at all because we really need tthe time to finish things up. The thing that stresses me the most is that even by March 5th we will have things left undone..I would hate to be in hospital and not have any say in things going on....Guess it's time to let go LOL....Breathe..we all have these days!

ITA! I'm sorry you're feeling stressed! I was going to say then go back to bed for a little power nap and wake up. Only it won't be all done for you but you'll at least have had some rest to get things started! Baby steps!

Re: Freaking out today
Its definately the end of pregnancy willies! Its really frustrating. I would try to sit down and make a list- even if you know every little thing you need to do in your head. It will relax and focus you.
Maybe go for a pre-natal massage or even a pedicure today. I found that to help too.

Re: Freaking out today
You're about to give birth, that's what's "wrong" with you. Seriously though, there's nothing wrong with you, your'e just stressed. I have full confidence that you will bang it all out by the time she gets here. And you know what, so what if you don't. Maria you know that the ONLY thing your little girl needs when you bring her home is you..and some milk of course. After that, everything else is secondary, so don't get yourself too nuts. You're fine and you'll get it all done eventually, even if it's not ALL done by the time she arrives. Hang in there!!

Re: Freaking out today
Ughhh I know I have all she needs and that she won't knwo if hteh nursery isn't fully decorated or set-up or that the house is still a bit of a disaster. i'm just so restless today.... I feel like I've had 12 espressos can I'm so jittery and can't focus..... Maybe I'll try a nap because I know this stress/anxiety isn't good for her either!!
Oh man....... I think my control freak issues are showing through today and I have NO control on when she is coming!!!

Re: Freaking out today
Oh, don't feel like a bad person! I completely feel the same way...I want him to keep cooking so I have everything totally finished before his arrival! I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It gets stressful and a lot of it is probably the hormones. Sometimes it helps me to actually take a day to do all non-baby stuff and de-stress a bit.

Re: Freaking out today
I can't imagine how you feel... I get super overwhelmed because I'm so tired all the time and I'm only 16 weeks.. Take a nap and you will feel better when you wake up

Re: Freaking out today
I know the feeling. I had Excel spreadsheets to keep track of everything I wanted done before my baby's arrival 
The truth is no matter how hard you try to get everything done, it just doesn't happen. There's always some last minute item that you forget and DH will be sent out on multiple errands to pick those items up!
As hard as it is, take a deep breathe and relax. Enjoy the time you have now because once your baby comes, everything becomes a lot more challenging!

Re: Freaking out today
I had a mini panic attack last night, felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat... I can't believe I am due in a week, DD could basically come any moment now.
We do have all material things ready, but AM I READY? I am soooo scared of L&D!!

Re: Freaking out today
Its normal to feel this way. I go back and forth.. One day Im ready next day Im not even close to being ready... One day I want baby to come early, next day want baby to wait. Its a never ending cycle. No matter how much you plan and think your ready for the baby.. honestly your not, But it all works out.
All you really need is a breast, and spot for baby to sleep in. My parents thought they were ready for my sisters arrival.. then the crib didnt come. They put her in a draw.. it all worked out tho.

Yeah...... All that freaking out and what did I do today............ NOTHING!!!!
NOT A THING....... I just couldn't focus or physically do it!
I sat in bed in my pj's and watched gilmore girls
That is going to help my list right???
I think I needed it though. I'm feeling better. I'm meeting DH in a little while to pick up a few organization pieces for the nursery tonight and put in a little work!!
Hopefully tommorrow iwll be a better day!
THanks for asking!
