I come across this question a lot, It's perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Like you can never accomplish a task. But please do not worry. It doesn't take long to become prepared. Go to a thrift store and get some clothes, look at the bassinets take it one step at a time, theres a fantastic store called "Once upon a Child" or "Little Sprouts". You have lots of time left. Don't try to accomplish the whole task at once, Make a list of everything baby girl needs and tackle them one week at a time. You will be fine, and you will be a great mother. Just try not to stress so much. I know what it's like. I never talk to my mother and my sister is a heroin addict. She will never meet my children until she gets clean. You aren't alone and if you need anything just send a question or a vent. There are tons of us that would love to be here and support you. Congrats on the baby girl!

Just keep moving forward, I too have a lot of issues going on. Luckily I found a really good organization that helps girls like us in my area "Statesboro, Ga"....it's good to have someone to vent to. Plus they help gets things for baby. I was skeptical going bc I thought they would be judgy. They weren't though. My advice is find a support system whether it's church an organization or a friend. Just someone to vent all your stress out to. I find that just sharing my feelings on here every now and then helps no matter if I get a reply back or not. Just getting things off your chest. I don't know your story but I sure get where your coming from. My dad and his side of the family don't talk to me or anything and my mom side is mostly druggies in and out of jail so I can't go to them. But I luckily do have my bfs support he's my rock. I wish you the best in the end just know it's all worth it to have the love that babys gone bring you.
