Procrastinating

I have 18 days until my due date.  That's just under 3 weeks!  So, why in the world is my hospital bag not packed yet?  I have the kids bags all packed to go to Grandma's while I'm gone...complete with a schedule and a "last minute" list of things to pack.  I have the baby's changing table all set...all clothes (boy and girl 0-3 months) are washed and sorted into two different laundry baskets for easy access when we finally find out if this baby is a little Mr. or Miss.  I have all the sheets, burp cloths, diapers, etc. out.  BUT, my hospital bag remains unpacked.  Of course, that is probably one of the most important things right now to have done.  I mean, someone else could have packed the kids bags if necessary; someone else could have washed and sorted clothes and equipment.  But, no one else quite knows what I need during labor and delivery and postpartum!  Is it because I'm in denial that this baby is due so soon?  Is it because I'm a perfectionist and am afraid I'll forget something important?  Is it because I'm lazy tired and uncomfortable and really don't feel like waddling around anymore?  Whatever the reason, I'd better get to it regardless!  Otherwise, I'm going to end up at the hospital rather unprepared...not really a scenario I want!

So, now to get off the computer and pack the bag or fold laundry?  It's a toss up...I dread both!
