  I don't think you are alone:) Yesterday I lamented to DH about how unprepared I feel. We tried for so many years to get pg and now here were are, in the home stretch, and I am freaking out a bit. He reassured me that it is normal.

  I have to say, we especially are with you on names, we have no clue what these two will be named. They have to stay in until we figure it out at least!

  Yep, I feel the same way. My LOs will not have a room (we are selling our house and it has not sold yet) so they will sleep in our room (which is also where their dresser is) so I feel very disorganized. Especially since with DD I was able to set up her nursery way ahead of time and felt so ready for her arrival.

  I keep feeling like I am ready for them to come and then it hits me and I freak out.

  Feels like each week goes by really fast now and before we know it they will be here...

  I am having the opposite problem!  I am 20 weeks today and can't seem to settle down.  I have this sense of urgency that rivals my "nesting" phase at 36 weeks with my first born.  I simply can't understand why everyone around me isn't in a hurry.  There's so much to do:  we too need a van or we'll have to walk home from the hospital, I need 1 more of everything and really want to get their room ready.  All of this I need help with and no one seems to want to "git r dun".  I want to do it now, while I still feel like it and my health is good.  What if I end up on bed rest and don't get to help set up the nursery...I'd be crushed.  Oh well, I guess I need to slow down a bit, huh?

  I am right there with you!!

  I do have everything I need to start off with (for now) but it is all piled in the computer room and along the back wall of DS's room.  I haven't washed anything, the carseats are sitting on a shelf in the garage and we don't even have the cribs yet.  We have 2 bassinets, but they are still unassembled in a box in the closet.  I did have this crazy nesting instinct around 25 weeks and did a ton of stuff then (thank goodness), but nothing since.
  

  And our babies are not yet named either.  We haven't even really started a list!
  

  I agree, I just can't get my head around the fact that I will have TWO newborns in 6 weeks!!  AHHHH!

  I've been the same way.  My u/s tech just yesterday asked "are you ready to be done?"  and I replied "yes... but I feel really unprepared!"

  I was SO ready for both of my boys to be born, and this time I just feel like I'll never be ready.  I cannot wait to meet those girls and cuddle them, but I think it's just a matter of having no clue what our everyday life will be like with 4 under 4!

  For some reason I have this irrational fear that we just don't have enough stuff for them either.  I think part of the fear is because I haven't been able to go out shopping or do much of anything for a while, so I don't feel like I've done enough preparing.  (We have almost everything we need, except bouncers, which we're buying next week... so I really have no reason to feel that way!)

  Girl. You should come to my house.  Baby's room is still an office/work out room.  Not only have we not moved anything out, we have no plans on where we will put all the crap!  

  You are not alone!
