Deep breaths.
I just had a bit of an anxiety attack. My little girl will be here in (give or take) 10 weeks.
Holy #$@)(
Admittedly, I am starting to panic a bit. We have a lot that we still need to do. However, being that this is my second child, I know that some of it won’t matter. It’ll happen when it happens and who cares…
But the planner in me is in a huge state of unrest. PLAN. FINISH. ORGANIZE.
Wait…finish? How about start? I did manage to register and pick out some things that I might want to buy when I get around to her nursery (maybe when she’s 3 months?). But the poor kid doesn’t even have a name yet. We have a list of 4-5 contenders. I have no idea when we’ll get around to actually deciding.
I feel like we’re sort of winging this.

I feel huge. Ginormous really. I waddle everywhere. I think I referred to myself last week as a bloated penguin. I am constantly out of breath…and the Braxton Hicks. Oh the Braxton Hicks! Comparing to my last pregnancy, I think I am bigger but who knows. I am definitely carrying her a little different than I did Buggy.
Here’s me now:
What else am I trying to do? Oh yes, maternity leave. I’m trying to figure out my schedule when I come back. Well, that and trying to get all the work done that needs to be done BEFORE I actually have the kid. Definetly don’t want to leave my team in a bind.
Like I said before, a bit panicked!
Someone tell me to take a chill pill.
I'm right there with you. The OCD organizing freak inside of me is in panic mode. Keira still has to be moved to her new room, that needs to be painted and organized… AND needs a dresser. Nursery will be ready when Keira is out. Time is running out! I have 11 weeks before my scheduled c/s. EEP!
As far as the name goes, don't stress. We had 2 picked out we liked and no middle name decided. (Well, I was decided, Zach was not!) When we saw her, we both knew what her name would be. And I won on her middle name in the recovery room after being sewn up. 🙂 Have a few on the list and decide there. No one says you have to know beforehand!
Hey! You are fine! You are such a fabulous mom and such a great working mom to top it off. Everything will fall into place and you will have that little girl in your hands before you know it!
You look great Erin. Happy 30 weeks. You will get everything done and accomplished. 🙂 BREATHE and enjoy. Before you know it, you are going to say, "that went way too fast".
You look great and so darn cute. I love pregnancy and from the photos you don't look anything close to being huge.
Take a deep breath and like you said 'it'll all come together'. Enjoy it! Decorate the nursery and buy the cute little stuff you picked out because you are enjoying doing it instead of feeling pressured to get it done. You don't want to look back and be stressed about it but look bad and have fond memories.
Congrats on baby number 2. What are some names you are thinking on?
Not huge. NEVER ginormous! You look fabulous and I have no doubt that your list will get smaller and smaller in no time. And like you said, some won't get done and somehow won't even matter!
Sweeett! You look so cute Erin. Brings back so much memories.
You are adorable!! Look at that little butt with the bowling ball in front of it! (OK< that was a little creepy).
You're nesting!!
You are adorable with a capital A! Honestly I miss having a baby bump. Good luck over the next few months. You will do just fine!!
At 30 weeks pregnant, you are quickly approaching the end of your pregnancy. Are you ready for your baby’s birth? It will be here before you know it http://rocketparents.com/pregnancy-calendar/pregnancy-week-30/
