Third Trimester - Time to FREAK OUT!

As my due date gets within visible range...I am officially starting to freak out about how I am going to do this...you know, be a parent of a newborn. It is what I have wanted for a while now, but the thought of keeping up with breastfeeding alone stresses me out. What if I don't have enough milk...how am I going to wake up every 2-3 hours to feed Olivia? How are John and I going to handle the stress that goes along with not knowing what Olivia needs? I hope I don't find our cat sleeping in Olivia's bed...
Then there are the current stresses of...is she moving enough? I know I have explained this to myself before, but she didn't move much the other day and it worried me again. I guess this all boils down to my not being able to believe I finally got the chance to have a baby of my own...what did I do to deserve such a wonderful opportunity?
And then there's the freaking out about how my freaking out is affecting Olivia.
I need a massage...
