Feeling overwhelmed again at everything that is coming up this summer. Some of it is fun stuff, some just needs to be done and some is driving me nuts.
The fun stuff: I have 2 showers in June (one from work), 1 in July and 1 in August! So excited to see everyone at them and have fun. We are going to Branson this weekend and staying in a condo for free! 4th of July is coming up which is always fun. Chris' parents will be down and we have some awesome fireworks thanks to Matthew and Sarah! Have my mom's bday and dad's bday coming up too. And in August is my 10 year reunion!
Needs to be done stuff: I start my childbirth classes at the hospital in a couple weeks, so I will have that every Tuesday night for 2 hours for 6 weeks. Will be interesting. Probably need to look into childcare just in case other things don't work out. We want to have my mom and Chris' aunt both do part time during the day. But I don't know if my mom will be down here by then and then, I don't know if any place will only do part time care. If we do have to go that route then I am scared we won't be able to find anyone. This town is small and there aren't many that do take infants. I probably need to get started on talking to them in case there is a waiting list. I also have apt. after apt. coming up. In the next 2 months I will go to the dentist, eye dr., and have my regular dr. apts. Those will be increasing, I'm sure, in a month or so too. Also, we still have to put the crib together, which is probably going to happen next weekend, I hope.
Driving me nuts stuff: Mostly one thing: the FRG (Family Readiness Group). I am the coordinator for Chris' unit. We have a training day coming up on the 20th, there goes my Saturday. The lady who is in charge of the whole company FRG has been wanting us to have a picnic or social activity. We planned one for May 30th, but I only got ONE RSVP about 3 days before so we postponed it. It might happen after the July drill now, but I am not sure. I need to find out soon though so I can try to get the info out soon so maybe people will show up. Every weekend, before drill weekend have the phone tree too. We have to call people who we contact info for and make sure their info is up to date and tell them any news. All this is driving me crazy. I don't have time for it, especially when I dont' feel like I am getting a response from anyone. I think I am going to step down in another month or so. I just really don't think I want to have this responsibilty after the baby is here. I don't see how I will have the time and energy to put into this. I will try to still go to meetings and stuff, but I don't want to have to be the one to be there and be in charge. Sometimes, I like to go back to El Dorado on drill weekends when Chris gone and I feel like I can't do that if I am the "leader". I am just kind of frustrated with the whole thing.

BREATHE! Everything will be ok darling. You will never have everything ready and be completely prepared for Jackson's arrival. Just do the best you can, relax and take it all in. You will be the best mommy in the world regardless. :) I love you!
I'm sorry you are so overwhelmed and I agree with Stacy...just take a deep breath. Things will fall into place in due time. I assume that's what all the list making was about lol. I feel ya tho, I was there last summer planning for Kyle, starting a new job, planning a baby shower, dr. appts, not to mention the firewx. Just try to take it easy...I let everyone tell me to sit my pregnant butt down and don't worry about it sooo SIT YOUR PREGNANT BUTT DOWN AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT lol Can't wait to see ya Friday (even if briefly)! Matt's a pro at cribs now, maybe he can do that for ya while we are there hehe!
