  I feel like I'm starting to panic about time management and just life in general once she's here.  We own a property management business and we've brought on like 20 units this past month that will all be transitioning to us on December 1, so we've been SUPER busy this week trying to answer questions, get everyone signed up with our portal, etc. and I know that I'm not going to be able to do these crazy long days once she's here. Plus, our 1 year-old "puppy" has regressed a bit and started peeing on things in the house (including the Christmas tree) and destroying things (like the TV remote and WiFi router). How did you all manage the first few weeks of chaos when you brought your little ones home? I know we'll figure it out as we go, but I think knowing we're SO close now is starting to overwhelm me.

  @dmcg17 I can totally relate. Our season is winding down now and it was perfect when we expected to go full term. But now they want to start the induction a week early which makes things a little more complicated. Plus I still have so much I need to finish up with our accountant for our year end and I don't think I'll feel like do much once the baby gets here. Our dog is still a bit of a lunatic as well and has started a new habit of barking at EVERYTHING!! 🙄 
  
  So much unknown, it's quite overwhelming to say the least! But I guess we have no other choice but to move forward 😅

  Still panicking about the MIL 😆 but was able to compromise that they will be visiting throughout the couple weeks they’re in the area versus staying at the house. Re-reading books that I read during 1st/2nd trimester - getting anxious/nervous that I’m not going to be ready!

  Panicking because my OB keeps bringing up labor complications this week.  I’ve had a healthy pregnancy with no complications but for some reason every time I bring up my birth plan he talked about all the things that can and “probably will” go wrong… it is stressing me out. Ready for this baby out and focusing on postpartum care and meeting the little guy!

  I am... not panicking at all. Which is weird. I WAS panicking about getting everything done, but I've submitted my Master's thesis and gotten all the basics ready for baby this week. Haven't even thought about Christmas yet... but that will be next week's panic. I kind of feel like I'm sitting in the eye of a hurricane - calm but ominous

  @ahrob135 I'm glad you were able to compromise with them! That sounds like a much better solution for everyone. 
  @benderisgreat12-23 That's frustrating. I get that not everything will necessarily go exactly as planned, but I feel like if they bring it up every time you mention having a birth plan, it's excessive. If everything has been good so far, try not to worry (that's what I'm telling myself with this whole induction/c-section saga I've had going on) and focus on meeting your little one soon!
