I am stressing for sure.  Just try and take it one day at a time.  We currently have my husband's cousin "living" in the nursery, so I can't really go in there and set it up.  He is supposed to be out by the end of the month, come on FRIDAY!!!

Nesting is a powerful urge, but playrooms and big boy rooms can wait if they have to. Deep breaths.

Your child needs someplace to sleep, a way to eat, a carseat if you have a car, some clothes and some diapers. That's it. Everything else is for you. Your baby will be absolutely fine if it comes home with only those 5 things.

Im on bed rest and haven't done a thing. I do know everything I need and want for baby, but will have to trust my DH and sister to set everything up. I'm trying not to stress because I know that won't help.

I'm not only getting overwhelmed with baby preparations, but with house to-do's as well. I feel like stuff that has needed to get done will never get accomplished if we wait until after the baby is born. I have a list that I've been working off of on the weekends with DH. That has helped, so I can literally see what I want to get done still, and prioritize.

Yes!

I am also feeling totally overwhelmed. We're in a rental, and moving our almost 4 year old to the other bedroom...which of course needs to be painted. It's taking DH forever to finish it!!! And  in the meantime all the stuff from that room is in the hall & making me bonkers. *sigh* He's assured me it will be done this week...
