it just hit me today! holy moly, we are having a baby in 6 weeks, and I am super stressed out now. (well you know it hit me , hit me- lol)
We have done NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING.
I just don't have the energy, this heat is killing me, regardless of how low the AC is on, my back hurts, I can't bend down,...
I never realized how hard it is when you have no family around that you can make do stuff for you -lol.
then someone told me today : " what if you went early?"... dude, why stress me out more???
Re: I am having another baby??lol
Don't worry about it! I'm sure you'll be fine! My friend is 35 weeks pregnant with baby #3 after having baby #2 last year. She'll have three boys, like you, but by this pregnancy she felt more or less the same as you. She is so tired and hasn't really prepared much. But, she already had so much stuff from the other 2 kids that I don't really think she needs anything else. She had a small shower at which she mostly stocked up on the necessities, like diapers, wipies, etc. She was even having contractions at the shower so it was definitely a bit scary, but she seemed like it was no big deal, lol.
lol @ : then someone told me today : " what if you went early?"... dude, why stress me out more???
it's stressful i'm sure, especially now that you're only 6 weeks away and you can't do anything alone. BUT the bright side is that you have done it twice before so this third time you should know exactly what to do. seb is older now so he can help you with getting you things you need and keeping nate entertained. i'm sure you will do just fine
now if only someone will stop freaking me out about handling two little ones when it's my turn lol
Oh V, I've never met you, but I'm confident that you will handle all three (well 4) of your boys just perfectly! I'm sure you have tons from Sebastian and Nate. Everything has a way of coming together.
I know it is easier said than done, but try to enjoy the last few wks of just mommy of 2... crank that A/C all the way, and maybe start w/ something easy like laundry for baby 3.
Wishing you the best of luck! Wish you were closer so we can all help out!

V! I can't believe this pregnancy has flown by for us. Weren't we just pregnant with Nate and Quinn? How on earth are we having more boys ;-)
As overwhelming as it may seem now, it will all work out. Take each thing little by little and try to seek solace and help from those around you. I'm sure your hubby can take the boys out for an afternoon so you can get a prenatal massage to help with your back pain. Can someone babysit so you and Eric can enjoy a quiet dinner out?
Also, remember, newborns don't need much right away so there isn't that much to "get ready." It seems so overwhelming when you think of all of the craziness, but you probably have everything you need. Just get your bag packed and your carseat ready and you are good to go.
(OK, so somehow my pep talk for you ended up helping me because I've been a little overwhelmed myself with the thought of a new baby coming so quickly. We can do this! :-)
You know, I know what you mean....even though you have it to more an extreme level because you are chasing two kids but being pregnant and chasing a child makes the pregnancy go by so much faster and so much more in the background as far as preperation goes. We have lots of stuff from Sophie but nothing set up. By this time with Sophie we had her room cleared out and ready to be painted. This time I pass by the room and think, "man....we gotta get to that." LOL.
Just keep reminding yourself that all the baby needs is a place to sleep and your boob. LOL. Done. So, wash some sheets, blankets, clothes.....and you are all set.
I feel exactly the same!! Sooo tired, nothing prepared!!! But now it's crunch time!
I am sure you will manage everything extraordinarily well! Best of luck in these last few weeks; we are almost there!!

LOL! That really put things in perspective for ya?! Listen, you are a pro - you got this...as many of the other ladies said - all the baby needs is a place to sleep and you. Put in a load to wash, pack your hospital bag, make yourself a nice cold beverage, relax, and enjoy the last few weeks of your PG. Everything will work out.
LOL but so true! Try not to stress V. Once he's here, I'm sure it will all work itself out.
