Q: Procrastination

I am currently 35 weeks & have yet to do much of anything. I haven't even sent the thank you cards from my baby shower. I haven't washed any of the baby's things & the crib which was ordered, has yet to arrive! I have no bag packed, & really have nothing to even wear at the hospital! I think about all which needs to be done & I begin to panic, although I choose to do nothing about it. It's embarrassing to admit all this to an entire forum. For goodness sake, it is time for me to grow up & get with the program; I am 26 years old.

Does this mean I am not ready (mature enough) to be a mother? Has this happened to anyone else? Everyone else seems to be so anxious & ready, even as early as 28 weeks?? What is the matter with me?????

Yes, it is my first baby. & this little guy wasn't a planned pregnancy. Dont get me wrong, there are no regrets, but it wasnt something I was shooting for. He was a bit of a surprise, and until a few weeks ago, I was working full time aswell as taking college courses on a part-time basis. Now I am only working full time, & that is plenty! How about you? First child?

Oh yea...1st little miracle....She wasn't expected either...We weren't preventing it though....So I wasn't that shocked..Lol...A little in denial...But not shocked....I was in the middle of going to school full time to become an esthitician then hurricane katrina hit and I found out I was almost a month and a half preggy!!! Lol...It was strange...But exciting!! I made 30 weeks today!! It's hard to believe that in like 10 weeks i'll be pushing her out!!!!

I don't even have a list of people to come to my baby shower yet!! Lol...Mine isn't a surprise..I want to be totally involved in it so that nothing goes wrong! Lol....
