I am sorry you had an anxiety attack, hun. I am glad you are feeling better! 
and all the cooking and cleaning.
Good bye, butternut squash! Hello, coconut! Can't believe I'll be 5 weeks out! 
Thanks, Sarah!! I am feeling down in the dumps. My parent's are living with us until their house is done being built and they were supposed to move out a week ago, but I just found out that they won't be out until after CHristmas. I guess it's giving me anxiety because I am a planner and I had everything planned out perfectly for how I wanted things to be before the baby was born and now everything is all messed up.
Right now, our office is the nursery room. The only room we have to move the office is upstairs where my parents are occupying. We were waiting on them to move out so we could set up the nursery. So, now the nursery is only a quarter of the way complete and the office is still mixed in the nursery. I am beyond stressed out.
Also, this is the last few weeks that I will ever have alone with my husband before we have children. I really wanted to be able to relax for the last few weeks with him and really enjoy our alone time and now that isn't going to happen. I know everyone keeps saying that I will love having my mom living here when I come home with the baby because I will need the help... but I am very independent and I really wanted to experience this on my own with my husband

I miss how it was with our daughter, it was just us and her, doing it on our own.... (except the first 2 weeks, my mom did come to visit and help out some). Though he hasn't really done anything to try to tell us how to raise her or the new baby... it still feel like just his presence interferes. Does that make sense? I can totally understand how you are feeling, Jaime. I hope things move faster on their house than anticipated.
But even though I do enjoy him, it still feels a bit odd with him here like we can't quite do our own thing. I wish yours was more helpful and that you enjoyed him being there. That can be a big stress when you have to tolerate a family member you'd rather not. I think if my FIL is still with us after baby is born, he will be a big help. He's noticed how much I've started to struggle with the little things and told me that should I need anything even for him to carry a laundry basket, just to ask. Hope you feel better!
