A Procrastinators Guide to the Last Month of Pregnancy

This is my first pregnancy and to date it has been fairly easy and yet very busy. Right before finding out we were expecting my husband and I decided to move back to the west to be closer to friends and family. Soon after we were buying our fist home and planning for our first baby.
Did I mention our due date is exactly one day after our one year anniversary? Things are moving fast whether I like it or not.
As a procrastinator the beginning of pregnancy seemed so far from the end. I had tons of time. Then suddenly I'm eight months pregnant just starting to unpack after a cross country move. Add to that a week of bedrest after a little scare, a painful pinched nerve in my hip, and this third trimester has been very hectic.
Luckily for me, I do very well when things get close to due dates, school assignments, bills, packing for trips (or cross country moves). That's not to say I don't get the occasional panicked feeling followed by a good cry. But for the most part pressure helps me to complete my tasks.
So here I am just under 30 days from my expected due date and I am happy making lists and checking things off. Lists seem to be the key to completing projects in the last month of pregnancy. That and help from family and friends. I do still need the occasional nudge in the right direction. I feel blessed to have moved near my parents and to have my mothers helpful reminders and even offers to assist in some of the bigger projects.
I think those are truly my keys to success. I can't wait for my baby girl to arrive and I can only hope that I will continue to push through the lists that always seem to multiply when I'm not looking. And I know I'll get the help every procrastinator needs once in awhile.
Most women probably have everything finished way before this point in pregnancy, but this is just how I do things. In the end life will work out, the important things will get done and my growing family will have everything they truly need.
