(((HUGS))) anxiety is from feeling out of control of things and pregnancy is prime time since even your body is less in your control. I'm sorry it's been a struggle to balance it all and just be able to enjoy the nesting and pregnancy going on. XOXOX this emotional page is awesome

Thank you so much for all your kind words.
Krista, this makes so much sense!
I'm a little overwhelmed by my father in law. He is building a shed in our backyard. He promised us a shed in two weeks. Well, it's nearly been two months. He comes to work on it every day, but it is going so slow.
And I really don't want to sound ungrateful, because I am grateful. But he's not nearly halfway there.
And we really need the shed for storage, so we can empty our spare room so I can paint my baby's future room and decorate it. I want to have his room ready when he arrives. I'm just so scared that it won't happen in time. My due date is still 4 months away, but I won't have a shed for at least one to two months.

Thank you all so much for your sweet words, ladies!
That helps a lot.
I know I'm probably just overreacting. I just want to have his room ready as soon as possible.

You know, nobody prepares you for the mental part of pregnancy. We are pretty much alone in all of it. I hope you have some close friends who have gone through pregnancy and having children that can listen to you and guide you through it. It's very stressful and we don't have all the answers. And even if you are looking for answers, you will get so many different ones and some that don't necessarily align with the way you want to do things.
And yes, having baby's room ready was one of my things too. Ben is an architect and loves project and he took on remodeling our first baby's room from the bare bones (down to the studs) and the dust was so stressful for me. He got it done in time though and I was able to nest and relax. But also know that your baby won't suffer if he sleeps in the same room as you for a few months if his room isn't ready yet. And that was actually my preference to sleep with baby because it was so much easier to breastfeed and diaper change and all while being close. We had enough room to have the crib in our room for a while.

And all the advice you didn't ask anybody to give haha
But also I forgot to say how much I love your layout. You don't do art journaling very often but boy! I love it!

Thank you so so so much, Lea! Your reply is much appreciated.
I have my mom whom I can vent to. And I have two close friends from work, to whom I can vent to as well.
We probably put the crib in our bedroom as well, for the first few months. I prefer to sleep with my baby as well. I think it's a lot safer.
The crib will fit into our room as well. But not his closet and the changing table and everything else that goes with it.
I am very grateful to my father in law that he is willing to build us a large shed. I just wished the didn't say that he would have it finished in two weeks lol.
He comes here almost every day. He is preparing a lot of stuff like cutting the wood in the right sizes. So at the end he can put all things together faster. It's just that I don't see any progress on the build itself. Oh and yes, I can relate to what you say about the dust! The shed is in our backyard, so he keeps running in and out the house with dirty shoes. I have to clean and mop the floor every night after he is gone.
I know it's temporary. It's just exhausting.
