So, I am just wondering if all women stress to the same point that I am about naming their children. I yet again, came up with another list of names that I like that we could possibly use for our baby. I have never wanted to have one name picked out for any of my babies because I want to wait until I see and hold the baby to make sure the name fits. So why am I stressing so much now before the baby is actually here? It is driving me nuts that we do not yet have a name picked and I'm not getting any strong feelings about what it should be. I'd ask for help, but I don't think any suggestions are going to get me much further than I already am.
I am feeling like such a horrible mother-to-be. I don't have a name picked out, the nursery isn't even started (let alone, done), we don't have many baby essentials - such as a carseat, our house is in a completely chaotic state with more to do than we have time or money for, and I am just sooooo not feeling even close to ready to deliver a baby or bring one home. I think the chaotic life of a mother has already begun for me. I am there ladies -- so much to do with no time or energy to do it. Does anyone ever feel ready for a baby? Please tell me that I am not a totally horrible person for not having every little aspect of my life prepared for this little one like I feel every other mother-to-be has. Is there anyone else out there who gets to this point in pregnancy with as little done as I have?

Oh Jennifer.... Don't stress so much! You will be a great mother and you will have lots of help! Stop worrying about the nursery... I will come down on like a saturday/sunday and we will get things going! :) And about that name...... well she will eventually have one! ha So don't worry about that too much! You still have a few weeks! I love you!
Dont stress!! :) Remember the baby isnt going to notice if the nursery isnt in working order, as long as she has a place to sleep she is good! :)
Jenn, everything is going to be fine! Jacelyn didn't have a decorated nursery, ever. In fact, her room doubled as an office, a guest room, and many other things until she was 3! As far as a name goes, I am not one of those people that thinks there is only one name. Anything you name that little girl is going to mold to her regardless. And yes, there are many people who are not prepared, but I slept in a drawer padded with blankets til I was 3 months, and I'm not even mad about it! :) Try to enjoy it all, and good luck!
