Fast Forward?

Sometimes I wish life had a fast forward button. Not like the movie Click, I'd want to be in ultimate control, my ideal remote would have no "autopilot". I have a tendency of getting overly stressed in anticipation of things that I have no control over. A lot of these things are happening right now, and I kind of want to skip the anticipation and just get to the part where we're doing everything we need to.
First, Brad and I are moving into a new place! I am meeting with the landlord tomorrow, signing the lease, and getting the keys. The extra room will be so nice, and we definitely need it. Not to mention the washer and dryer, one car garage, and big fenced in back yard. :) OK, so I'm obviously really excited. I'm not excited, however, about all of the stress involved in moving. I have to organize, declutter, pack, move, unpack, detail clean like crazy. It's going to be a crazy two weeks.
Next, I'm only NINE weeks from my due date. This is getting insane. I feel like there are so many things we need to get done, and nine weeks seems like NO time to do it. It's hardly more than two months, and that's if he's born exactly on his due date. I'm just crazy concerned that we won't have everything ready. I know it's crazy, All of Aiden's basic needs will be met. We have clothes, a place for him to sleep, food, etc. I just am getting overwhelmed.
The plus side? I have only four weeks left at work until my maternity leave starts. With my part-time status, that equates to twelve shifts. Once I'm on leave, there will be more time. More time to finish my schoolwork, more time to clean and organize, and most importantly, more time to spend with Christopher! :)
I just want to get to a point where I have both babies and Brad and I all in our nice clean house. I want to be graduated, and on to bigger and better things with my life.
So once again, someone invent a fast forward button, deal? :)

  1. You wouldn't want to fast forward...you'd miss all the good stuff! And just think of that glorious moment...the first time you step into your new home with the newest member of your family safe in your arms, the four of you settle down and share your first moments together. Building the memories of a lifetime. After 2 months of hustling and bustling about, finally getting to curl up with all three of your guys and enjoy the results of all your hard work, and knowing what you've had to do to get where you are. Congrats on your new place! Wishing you the best (and lots of rest),
