The end is nearing

48 days left, yikes! It seems like the end of the pregnancy is quickly sneaking up on me. While at other times, it seems like there is still so much longer to go. I'm starting to feel the crunch a little bit. I would ideally like to have everything ready between 36-38 weeks. It's not so much that I want to be prepared in case she comes early, I know the chances of that are slim. Being realistic though, my energy level is going to drop dramatically over these next few weeks. I know it will be hard to get even the simple tasks around the house done, let along the extra stuff. Our basement is still in the works. We have the walls partially done, and painted, and this weekend the contractor will be back to finish them. The fact that he only works weekends has really put things in slow motion. Then, we went in to order our carpet and it turns out it suppose to be 2-3 weeks before it comes in! They were out to measure yesterday, so that's 2-3 weeks from today before the basement is ready for us to start using. *cries* That alone puts me at 36 weeks, and I was waiting for the basement to be finished to start on the baby's room, because everything we have in there now, has to be moved into the basement. I'll be honest, I'm sick of waiting though. I told DH we're going to start moving things out of the room, putting it in the storage area and go ahead and paint and set up the crib and dresser. Then at least I can start decorating the room and get things washed and put away. I just want to feel like things are getting done, especially when I know I have the time and energy to do them.
