overwhelmed !
I am feeling so overwhelmed. We are at 14weeks 3 day and I feel like i should be doing more in respect to doing stuff for the babies and buying stuff or just preparing more and then trying to move back to LA and buy a house and finish this 6 week course and a hospital rotation and I am not even the one who is pregnant.
WHAT TO DO !!!!

Re: overwhelmed !
Awww. big hugs.. been there!
Like PP said, you do have some time still. I agree, writing out a list really helped us. We had small things to do and some pretty big decisions (like buying a new car). Everyday that we didn't do something, I swear I felt like nothing would ever get done! Focus on the things that are necessary first. Even if you don't have everything in place when the baby is born, you will make do until you can get whatever it is you are mising. Just think of all the people who don't have the money to buy everything you are supposed to buy beforehand... somehow, they make it work.
Hang in there... one step at a time.

wow.. your are right 14 is still early. I hope these babies bake as long as they can. I have spread sheets for names and likes and sites and Oddly, i dont have a list I will make on gonna start as soon as this reply is done!
I do hate being presumptuous that the shower will being us stuff we need. It feels wrong to me but i know how it goes.
When is the anatomy scan ? 25weeks is when they say i will be miserable so i wonder if that is adding to my overwhelm-ness.
Thanks for the up lift

PM me your address, I think I have the spreadsheet that L made for when we were expecting the boys. Everything we needed to do and when we were going to do it. It helped to check off stuff.
We didn't order furniture until about 20w. We registered at about 25w and I had a shower at 29w. You have time.
Don't get caught up in when people say you are going to be miserable. I realize that I was very lucky, but I worked until 37w with the boys and they were born via scheduled c-section at 27w 3d (I took off those 3 days to run errands that I knew would be hard to do with newborn twins!)
