Stressed! I'm going to hide under a rock....(long )

So this baby is scheduled to arrive on February 9th. We've got just under 2 weeks to get whatever we need and get the "to do" list done.  My last day of work is the 6th so I'm working right up til the end.  Yesterday my sister springs on me that her & my mother are bringing DD to the Disney on ice next Friday. Which is all fine & great except I asked them LAST MONTH if they planned on doing it and no one ever got back to me ( until now). The only reason she even mentioned it now was because she was hoping we could let her stay at our place and drive her to the bus station the next day. All of that is fine, a little last minute but doable.

Then yesterday DH tells me MIL is upset with my mother. They had been planning a shower for us apparently but because timing never was right they decided to do a "meet the baby" thing instead. My mother went ahead and set up a time & day without really talking to MIL and now people are invited to come to our house 10 days after LO is born. I honestly don't mind because I know no matter what day it is it's going to be a long stressful day. However MIL is ticked because she thinks my mother is being inconsiderate of the fact that we're going to be exhausted and having to host so many people in our home. I just wanted to be left out of it but DH feels like he needs to step in.

Then I get out of work last night and had a voicemail from my cousin's FI. DD is going to be their flower girl in June. We had planned to order DD's dress at the end of February. Apparently the store needs us to come in and do a  fitting/order it ASAP so it gets here in time. My cousin's FI is all upset because she feels like she's straining us now since we have to find a time to get to the store ( an hour away) sometime in the next week. It's not her fault at all but yeah that's kind of a pain. 

To top it off  I woke up with a sore throat,stuffy nose and swollen glands this morning. DD has it too.  UGH!  All of this stuff is minor really and none of it is anything we can't handle I just had wanted us to be able to relax for the last week or so before baby gets here and now I don't really see that happening.

    Sounds annoying, I hope you can get it all worked out where you can find some time to rest! My family is horrible at planning, which is sooooo annoying for me b/c I work as a professional planner.

    I hope you feel better too!

    Thanks :^)  I think that's  why it's so stressful to me.  I had a plan and now there are a lot of things still up in the air. That's life I guess!
