Doing a little better

I am still worried about things with the baby but i am getting a little better. I was in the hospital for a few days about 4 weeks ago with low fluid around the baby. My doctor had my stay for 2 days with an IV in my arm to get the fluid up. It went up and I was sent home. I have been doing what i can to make sure that the fluid stays up, like drinking more water and not doing as much around the house.
I have been able to buy a few things that i have found online so that we could be more ready for the baby. I was told by several people that they was going to give me some things but they haven't yet, and with my due date coming closer i started to buy somethings that i found online to help us out with money and all. I have been able to get a few things and it has helped us out alot. I feel a little better with my due date coming so close. I will be 34 weeks tomorrow, Sunday, and i am just still not feeling like we have all that we need for the baby. I finally got a car seat that i bought from someone online today, so that was makes me feel a little better and it also had a over filled bag of clothes which helps alot too.
My finance got another job to help out but its still going to be hard with him not getting alot of hours at the new job. We are trying the best that we can, but I still feel like things are not getting any better.
I think that the baby has started to drop some and its killing me. I am having to use the bathroom alot more now, its harder to move around to do simple of things around the house and hard to do much with my boys. I am ready for it to be over with at this point but i know that its best for her to wait as long as i can. But its still not easy by any means.
I am still getting depressed alot of the time and i am trying to do what i can but its hard. I am scared that I am not going to be able to do everything that I need to do with the boys and a newborn in the house. It scares me that i could get really depressed after i have the baby and that i wont be able to do anything that i have to do with my kids or around the house and not to mention my school work that i have to still do. I am just hoping that I can  do it all the best way for everyone. One thing that will make it some what easier is that we got another car and now we have another car and i don't have to go back and forth doing all the driving in one car.
how will i get it all done? I don't have a clue but I hope that I can.

Keep taking things one day at a time .i I\' m 33,weeks and wals feeling overwhelmed today. I started going down that negative spiral and then I just told myself to stop and I just took a break and listened to calming music for a while. A newborn baby doesn\'t need much. As long as you have the basics you\'ll be fine. As far as your depression, just make sure you have agood support team after birth. Keep open communication with your doctors if your\'re feeling overwhelmed. Hang in there, wishing you the best.

Thanks, I am trying my best to take things easy. I have told my mom and fianc how I have been feeling, since we all live together. (we live in a big house and my fianc , me and the kids stay in the front of the house and my mom stays in the back of the house). I know that they will help me as much as they can through all of this (my mom has had three girls), but I still feel overwhelmed at times with everything that I still have to get done around the house. It is more on me now since my fianc got a second job and my mom has been at school and starting Monday she will be at her internship site 3-4 days a week. I am just going to take it easy and try my best to get it all done.
