April 7, 2018 Strangely Calm

Yesterday, the odd thought hit me that if baby came tomorrow, I wouldn't have to do much of anything else to get ready. I have enough clothes, diapers, and hygiene products. I have the bassinet, car seat, breast pump, recliner. There isn't much else that I need, really.
No, the crib's not set up. The car seat, swing, and stroller have not been assembled. The house is a wreck. I have no kitchen while the hubs and contractors are building a new one. I'm living in a sea of boxes and plaster dust and sawdust. I'm washing dishes in the bathroom sink right now. But that wouldn't affect baby as much as me. Baby would not care or notice the chaos.
I think I'm done freaking out. I feel strangely calm, though part of me thinks I SHOULD be panicking. Finances are the biggest problem. But I'm done panicking. Now it's mostly waiting.
Am I crazy to stop worrying? Is it normal to stop freaking out? Did "nesting" just turn itself off? Two days ago, I was a basket case.
