32 weeks prepared?

I will be 32 weeks with our first child this week.  We are getting nervous that we are not prepared enough.  My shower is next Saturday and we agreed not to buy anything until then...but now were like if for some reason I go now we dont have the big stuff like stroller/carseat or crib. We start Lamaze in a week, so we haven't even done that yet.  We are preparing the hospital bag but I look at the suggestion list from my pregnancy journal and its super long!  Plus I am a teacher and I just read that starting this week I am not suppose to be on my feet for longer than 30 minute periods.  That is going to me hard to remember to do!  But I don't want to go early so I better follow that advice.  

I am so glad I have a doc apt on Monday so I can ask some questions.  I wish Lamaze was sooner!  
So does anyone else feel like this too?

Oh and trust me if you go into labor before lamaz then you will def be fine! Those classes are some what useful but most people dont go by a thing they learned in there bc it is so hard to concentrate on what you learned and you go into your instinct

If your shower is next sat then you should be fine. If you go into labor your dr should try and stop it bc you arnt far enough along. I am 38 weeks 4 days and stay on my feet at least 6 hrs out of the day and have been like that since day one of preg and wouldnt change it. I am an extremely active person and obviously it hasnt made me go into labor sooner. I have never heard of you not being on your feet longer then 30 min after 32 weeks.  Would ask your dr about that one bc you can read a million things and they will all say something dif and a lot of it is just silly.
