Preparing for baby... alone

I'm 21 weeks pregnant, and also 21 years old. I'm in the process of moving, getting everything together for when my son arrives, and working full-time. I'm just running around like a chicken with its head cut off! I'm still trying to figure out how to do everything by myself. I have an incredibly supportive family, but I can't help but feel so overwhelmed and drained of energy. I was wondering if any of you moms have any advice for keeping my sanity, or if any of you fellow single pregnant ladies are currently sharing this feeling of craziness!

    I'm in week 29 and feel the same craziness. Trying to be / look organised but I haven't even found the right place to move in yet, I can hear the clock ticking as I'm running out of time and I don't even have family to help/support as they live out of country.
    Thank your family for their support and don't be shy or too proud for asking help. Remember how lucky you are to have them by your side x And I'm pretty sure everything will work out just perfect :)

    Live frugally, pamper yourself with small pleasures.  Seriously.  It's the little things that make the biggest differences.  Also, if you have the space, start preparing meals that you can divide and freeze for a later time.  You will not have time to cook much, but the luxury of a microwave is that you can make yourself dinner in minutes.  I found a lot of really good recipes on Pinterest.  Also, you can find budgeting help on there and just a ton of info for so many things.  It's overwhelming but worth it.  Welcome to the club.

    @doora, I just saw your post which seemed to be like this one.  So, this applies to you, too.
