Try not to worry or think about all the things that need to be done. Really all your little one needs is a few clothes, diapers, blankets and bottles (if not nursing)and place to sleep. I had a complicated pregnancy with pre-term labor, luckily I was not on complete bed rest. I drove everyone nuts having to have the nursery done early. I got it all done and thought I had a couple weeks to just relax when our home flooded (4 weeks before I gave birth). All our walls had to be cut out, flooring removed, most of our furniture was destroyed. We scrambled to get our game room that had seperate heat and air from the rest of the house re-walled and floored. When I brought my daughter home it was to just this one room in which my husband, me, baby and her 12 year old brother all lived for almost 2 months until the rest of the house was put babck together. It was not ideal, but I did not care. I was just so happy to bring home my little one healthy and happy. I had a fullterm stillborn son 6 months before getting pregnant with her and a very complicated pregnancy with her. Many times we thought we were going to lose her.

Try to relax and just concentrate on taking care of you and baby. The rest can get done once she is home healthy!!

Best of luck to you.
