I know that, in reality. But I am by nature an anxious person lol. I'll be fine once she's here. I was terrified before I had DD and was fine the minute we brought her home. It's how I roll, lol.

Nothing more anxiety-provoking than pregnancy. :hugs Try to focus on the things you can control. Visualize. I can visualize you laying in bed nursing your baby while doing school with your DD. Seriously, milk the newborn status for all it's worth. Even if baby sleeps beautifully, pretend otherwise and have no shame in naps and delegating to everyone else. Babies don't keep. (which might be appealing to you.. :lol: )

You'll be fine :hugs It's normal to be a bit anxious before the baby comes, it's huge thing, adding a new little human to your life. One day at a time. Get one thing, however small, off your to-do, or get-ready list daily, it will help.

I am going grocery shopping today and part of my mission is stocking up on coffee, breads I can put in the freezer, peanut butter... All that kind of stuff, because shopping with a baby during flu and snow season is not awesome! I have lived here my entire life and never minded driving in the snow, but being home for the past 2 years, I have been able to avoid sketchy driving and now I hate driving in the snow! I'm pretty good at it, but I hate it!

I am going to cook up a whole ham from the freezer this week and cut most of it up and re-freeze for pulled pork, etc. Also have to cook the last of last year's turkeys. Trying to make some space for the upcoming butchering session!

Nesting has begun! :)

It's good that you're making plans....smart woman! Not to mention how much easier it will make things for you.

Yay someone wants the EE's, she says she'll come get them tomorrow. Of course that depends on whether DH will be home. No strangers allowed here when he's not, lol. Might meet her down at the local store otherwise.

The barn is ready for goats! Not done, done, but goat-ready. Unfortunately their fence doesn't lead to the barn and DH finished after dark so, we wait another day. I'm impatient here, and I REALLY hope he gets home from work before dark tomorrow!
