I'm freaking out!

[fashionzebra]

I just realized that I am only seven weeks away from my due date now. My shower at mom's is still about four and a half weeks away! I don't know what I need for the baby, the registries all try to tell you what you 'need" but I 'm pretty sure a baby jumper isn't a necessity.

My aunt ordered us the double stroller we wanted, but now they are saying it's out of stock, after they let her pay for it and said it had already been shipped. Now I can't find the same stroller anywhere. It came with an infant carrier seat, too!

Hubby and I are now both going to counseling for various things. Me for the freaking out and stuff. I feel kind of bad because I hound him for sex all the time, and he is having a hard time because he starts thinking about how different everything is going to be when the baby gets here, etc. I sometimes get sidetracked, too. We seem to always have stuff going on that isn't fun. Our house is still in disarray from moving, and the dishes keep piling up. I can't keep up!

I need to figure out what we need to get ready before I have no energy again. I can't even nap anymore, because I get stressed out thinking about l the stuff i need to do around here! I just want to have a clean house and make baby clothes!

 We're also going to miss our second Lamaze class because Ariana has the chicken pox, and her babysitter can't watch her because she hasn't had them... I hope there will be some way I can still get the informationI'm going to miss this week. I think the third week is review, though. Maybe I'll go by myself. I just feel like I'll be miserable being there alone. Maybe someone else will be there alone, too.

I'm going to have a bath now.

dont worry- everything will be fine- you will see!

personally- the only things we really NEEDED When we had our first baby was:

A "take me home" outfit or sleeper to take with you to the hospital- probably in a preemie size (Sofia is gonna be TINY!) Most 0-3 mo size clothes wont fit til the baby is 8 or 9 pounds! I never knew this until my poor baby was swimming in his clothes for the first 2 weeks!

bottles, nipples, bottle brush (even if you plan to breast feed- you need a few)

some onsies

some footed sleepers

a few blankets (some recieving blankets and a warmer one)

diapers and wipes

rash cream (just in case)

baby bath tub, soap, 2 towels, some wash cloths

a binky (another "just in case")

socks

hats

camera!

crib, or bassenet

car seat and stroller

Thats all I can really think of that we NEEDED- all of those other things were just icing on the cake, and we didnt even start using most of it until after he was a couple months old....

May. 8, 2007 at 8:37 PM I know how you feel, my due date is June 2nd and I still don't have everything. I have most of it just missing a few odds and ends. I'm in the nesting phase but don't have the energy half the time to do anything about it so I just sit and think of all the things I should be doing. Don't worry too much, its normal to feel overwhelmed and stressed. You'll get everything around before the time comes. If you need someone to talk to that can relate I'm here for you hun. Good luck and try not to worry too much.
