Ten Week Countdown to October Due Date

Candy - posted on 08/23/2009

I put everything off way too long, my girlfriend came over last weekend and we finished the nursery, God Bless her, i worked her like a mule! I have a list of things to put in the bags, that was so much easier than actually packing bags; haven't done that yet. My girlfriends are just now getting the shower ready to do- exactly one month before my due date, then they are doing another for me at work that is three weeks before my due date. Yes, i understand, we have no money saved after injury at work my husband has been off work for a while which depleated savings, but he is back to work now so hopefully we will get a little stash going. There are so many more things to do and so little time to do them in. Not to mention i just don't feel like it! on top of normal life things that are still going on around me that i am struggling to keep up with. I am beggining to freak out now!!

i only have 6 weeks and 6 days left and have done absolutely nothing. i used to be too busy taking care of our special needs child plus working. Now i can't do anything because i am on strict bed rest. my last minute freak outs is over money. the husband likes to spend and i want to save. we haven't saved any money yet!!!

Quoting Tarsha:

HAHAHA, I seriously thought I had alot to do. How do you have the energry? My babies room needs lots of attention: Walls painted, I need to lay the floorboards (coz i aint paying someone a fortune to do them for me), Put the cot together, put the pram together, Get my delievery bag ready and I still need to find cot bedding. I dont have to work and I am still starting to have my stress attack LOL... Good luck with it all.
I love the names Tyler and Ryder, they were both on the top of my boys list, but unfortunatly my hubby didn't like them :-( We have settled for Seth, but we are also struggling with a middle name, I loved Morgan for a middle name, but once again my hubby doesnt like it LOL

Good Luck with everything, and your not alone with your freak out :-)

Whoa,  I think you have more hard labor to do. Lucky cause the spouse used to build million dollar homes and can do about everything but major wiring. I should count my blessings since the baby's room is already done. Flooring once you find your starting point, it goes in pretty quick. The paint is the fun part, picking the color-make the man do the painting. You shouldnt sniff fumes. Seth is a cute name. How about Cohen or Bradley for a middle name? Since the first is one syllable, the middle should have two. Names are tough since it is a joint vote. I am not sure what a pram is, I must be sheltered.

Funny how all the second trimester energy just up and left the building with Elvis.

Good luck with your names research and remodeling.

Wow, I think your last 10 weeks is going to fly by with all of that stuff to do. He'll be here before you know it. I have less than 11 weeks to go and I can't wait!!! I don't have much as you to do though. But it is normal to freak out. You have a lot on your plate! Just do what you can and what's most important. What you can't get done try to designate to someone who can help, like hubby or the inlaws or a good friend. Good luck!
