27 weeks - Starting to feel a bit more organized

So I have to admit, for a while I've felt totally overwhelmed. Between figuring out what I'm going to do workwise, working on the house, prepping for the birth, learning about everything baby-related, planning the shower and working on the registry, plus taking care of my regular work, chores, cooking, etc., I've felt like when this baby gets here I'm going to be woefully unprepared.
I'm positive we won't know everything and I know I can't ever be fully prepared, but I am starting to feel like I have a handle on some stuff and it feels REALLY good.
My friend Misha walked me through cloth diapering, I've got an outline for my maternity leave (taking the summer of, then returning part-time until the new year when we'll re-evaluate), got the shower plans pretty intact and the invites designed, found an amazing vintage dresser for the baby's room, childbirth classes start next week, Ned held Aimee's baby Ryder (7 weeks) and did great, registry's in good shape, getting a plan in place to deal with outstanding house renovations... See? I feel better already :)
