So much to do and so little time.

Rant

I feel like there's so much for me to do and there's no time. I'm getting induced on Monday. I'm supposed to go in at 4:30 p.m. as long as everything goes well. I'm 39 weeks in 2 days right now. And I feel like there's so much left that I need to do and there's no time to do it. I'm currently washing everything. The car seat cover. His swing cover. All his sheets. Some more of his clothes. My hospital said that I can't bring in one big hospital bag. They said I need to bring in a small bag of what I need during labor and then I'm allowed to bring the big hospital bag for the baby after he's delivered. So I have to unpack my big bag and get my things out and pack my own little hospital bag. And then I have to repack the baby's hospital bag. And my boyfriend is coming with me so he needs his hospital backpacked. He's not the father but he's coming with me for support because the father hasn't really been around. The father is iffy? Not entirely out of the picture but not entirely in it. And I just got a text from him today that his grandmother just died. And have all of that to do and I still need to do another 2 to 3 loads of adult laundry. And re-clean my bedroom. It's not that dirty but there's things that don't go. There's dishes. There are things just thrown on the top bunk of the bed (We sleep on the bottom bunk with bunk beds) that don't go up there. And don't have a space. We don't have a lot of extra room. I need to reassemble all of the baby's things after it's done washing. Remake his bed. I just feel so overwhelmed. I woke up this morning and cried four times over four different things. Once because my boyfriend's slightly raised his voice. Once for no real reason. Once because I decided that I was scared and not ready to have a baby. And once again because I was hungry. So overwhelmed. And so many emotions. And I don't even know what to do. And then of course I'm terrified of the induction. Sorry for the rant I'm just .... Lost. Is anybody else feeling this way?
