3rd Trimester
so unprepared...small freak out
i feel like i'm so unprepared for this baby. i've only got like a month left and we still don't have the nursery done...or a full name for the baby picked out. i'm freaking out! my husband keeps telling me that it's going to be fine, but i'm still not so sure. i can't get him motivated to start anything right now. for some reason he doesn't see that we're in a time crunch. how is it that i let all this time go by and didn't get some of the major things done?
sorry for the freak out. it just helps to get it out and not go off on my husband 
i'm sure it will all work out in the end....contractor is coming tomorrow to kick start the nursery. next on the list, baby names any ideas for a middle name for Archer?

Re: so unprepared...small freak out
I definitely understand the sensation. I think I posted the same thing 2 weeks ago! You'll make it mama. We all have our freak outs.
Middle names that sound good to me at the moment:
Archer Davis
Archer Allen
Archer Daniel
Archer Xavier (that is a little special snowflake one lol)
Archer Alexander
Archer Luciander
Those are just off the top of my head.
I'm in the same boat! I have a little over 4 weeks to go, and although we do have a name, we don't have anything else done. We have a 3 yr old who is moving to a bigger bedroom, and it's still under construction. So that means that the baby's room (current rm of 3 yr old) is not done. My husband is our "contractor"- and he is trying so hard to get it all done. We are both starting to freak a bit! I haven't even bought diapers for the baby! Poor little guy!
It will all come together- and it's good to have a place like this to vent! Good luck with everything!
Where there is a will, there is a way~ And we Definitely have our ways in making it work. Literally, we are now getting everything that we need for our LO. And my Dr said she could come at any point this month (hoping she sticks to the middle/end of the month though)!
What matters Most is that you have the essentials to bring your LO home. Even if you don't have every stitch of details done. I'd rather have a bed ready than, say, a play spot for months down the road. Or diapers, wipes and essential bottom creams/powder before a lovely changing station. And so forth.
You'll be able to do it! Just focus on the top priorities first (those get done a lot faster Anyway) and work your way down to the fun/bonus stuff. Even if your s/o seems less worried, at least there's a form of reassurance and confidence from him that it Will be done. Focus on that, it might help you feel a little less stressed (: (that's how I'm trying to do it anyway lol)

I like Archer Davis....
I am totally not ready... I have 8 weeks left, but starting to freak myself.... My husband broke the dresser when putting it together so I am trying to order replacement parts, but the company hasn't returned my calls or emails... I am think I have to go buy a brand new dresser if they don't contact me soon! ahhhhhh.....
You will get it all done or at least the really important stuff anyway!
Your husband is right. Everything will work out just fine. You definitely have the right to freak out though, just remember that the baby will come and whether or not the nursery is done, he will still be able to sleep.
I like Archer Davis & Archer Daniel.
Everything else can wait, really. My son didn't even use his crib till he was almost 12 weeks old.
You're not the only unprepared one. My shower was yesterday so the house looks like BRU threw up in the living room, DH fell asleep while attempting to put the crib together, I still have a lot of last minute items to pick up and oh yeah we are also in the process of moving! I haven't hit freak out/ panic mode yet because I'm just crossing my fingers that everything will get done in time.
Oh and we don't have a middle name either.
GL, try not to stress out too much. I'm sure everything will work out
