A woman in my mommy and me group who I've met literally 2 times including today just happened to have a box of maternity clothes in her trunk today that she's been meaning to get rid of and they just happen to be for winter and in my size!!! So she gave them to me. Thank God for wonderful, thoughtful people!
@karaelaine1991 so jealous! My SIL gave me all of hers last time, but while we are the same size, we are not the same shape (she's heavier and has no butt and busty, I'm all butt and no boobs, and a good 3 inches shorter than I am) so nothing fit right and we have different enough styles that I didn't care for about half of it anyway.

Oh no that stinks! This woman is probably heavier than I am now but everything from the box fits so far. I'm so excited!
I keep having that realization that there isn't much time left. It seems like Thanksgiving and Christmas are soooo far away still but when I start looking at weeks left and when I want to be done with things I get a little internal panic. Luckily, the fact that DS came early, and this little girl is likely to be early, DH is a little more on board this time around with getting things done. I'm not so worried about the baby stuff, I don't have a lot left to do on that front, but definitely starting to stress about getting ready for Christmas and having everything ahead of time.
Yep, I feel like I'm not doing anything towards preparing, but when I start thinking about it, there's not really much time left. I really only have weekends to work because I have zero energy after work during the week. I need some furniture moved before I can really get started, and that's going to require other people being able to help me.
I'm on board with feeling like I'm running out of time. I have 13 weekends until this baby is due. 2 of them are holiday weekends, 1 is my daughter's birthday weekend, my birthday/step-mom birthday/MIL birthday/Father's birthdayall fall in November-December, and we have done literally nothing to prep the baby's room. I'm actively telling myself not to panic because we have all of October before things become hectic. It's an ongoing internal conversation at this point.
