Making lists already??

I'm not sure if I'm reading too much or just doing a good job getting prepared.  At least all the reading seems to help calm my nerves.... Six weeks to go ACK!! But I've learned there are a few things I will need to help my recovery. First, button down shirts.  Apparently I'll have a hard time lifting my arms over my head to take off a regular shirt for a while and it allows easy access to cleaning out drains (yum :p ). And of course I don't have any button down shirts, and anyway these and some type of stretchy bottoms will need to be big on me because of swelling and also accommodating a binder (think girdle) and the aforementioned drains.  So I've been trying to find something cheap.  I think the best way to go is a type of pajama set, and although I'd love some of the soft satiny ones from Victoria's Secret, $50 each is way too much for something I'll probably never wear again.  Plus, it's summer, in Arizona... So I found some for $10-15 per set at wal-mart, plus they are shorts/short sleeve... It's really hard to stop myself from going out and buying them right now.  Like I said in a previous post, I can be obsessive!  I hate feeling unprepared even though I have a whole six weeks to go!  I also apparently will really need a recliner chair or the ability to prop myself into a recliner position on my bed with pillows.  Problem!!  We don't have a recliner and my headboard on my bed is one of those giant monstrosities with shelves and drawers and a mirror, not exactly my taste but it was free (wedding gift from mil).  But because of the headboard I can't prop myself up with pillows because they slide into all the cubbies... Thank goodness for the Internet again!  I will get myself a lay-z-boy type recliner off of Craigslist, hopefully for less than $100.  And again, so hard not to go out and get it RIGHT NOW!! Then I can't figure out where to put myself.  Should I put the chair in my bedroom or the living room?  No matter what it means moving furniture, whatever.  Bedroom means darker, quieter, out of the way.  Living room means I'll be in the middle of everything so I can see what's going on and ask for help easier and the tv remote actually works.  The strange thing is I'm leaning towards the living room (although it means sleeping there for a few weeks).  Biggest issue here is that my two (almost three) year old still wakes up at night sometimes to pee and he's so quiet, he just shows up at my side of the bed.  It might be silly to worry about but I'm afraid of him either freaking out that I'm not in my bed or finding me in the living room where I can't help him and me being unable to call to my husband or mom to help (my mom will be here for the first week and a half to help).  It's probably silly but he is my biggest worry right now, he loves me to carry him and to sit on MY lap... He's not a big fan of doing things with anyone else, even daddy.  I'm sure it'll work out, but I can't help but think about it.  Have I rambled enough for today? Hahaha, see I'm nervous!  And if you know me in real life you can attest that I don't shut up!
