Baby preparation - so behind!

I know that it's absolutely contradicting that I am employed as a Retail Planner at work but when it comes to personal things, I am a true procrastinator at heart. I am now pregnant at 30 weeks, and have done absolutely NOTHING to prepare for baby girl's arrival. Nothing. OK, maybe 2 things...

(1) I did sign up for some child birth preparation classes with Kaiser on Friday. Due to the schedules of the classes offered, I actually won't be taking some classes until late May. Sure hope that baby girl doesn't come early, at least not before the classes. Otherwise, it would be just lovely - an unprepared, first-time clueless mother trying to "wing it." You can imagine how that would go.

(2) I started gathering hand-me-downs of baby equipment from my sister. It wasn't really my initiative of course (because yeah, I'm not that good at planning ahead). My sister just started to bring over a whole bunch of infant things that her son has no longer use for. She obviously desperately want to clean up her place. So my bedroom downstairs is now 1/2 filled with baby "stuff." I still have not gone through what I actually got. I'm sure even if I did, I wouldn't know what it's used for, or how to use it. It's interesting to see how expansive the baby industry is - my gosh - there is a gadget for everything!!

I think my procrastination stems from pure laziness...Maybe the 4 weeks off I'm planning to take before my due date have something to do with it! Speaking about maternity leave, I realized that I only have 6 more weeks of work left before I go on my leave....holy crap! That's really not too far away!
