everything will fall into place. be prepared for changes and complications, be educated about it, and you will be ready. get your bag packed now, don't forget socks and lip gloss!! i figure you've read about "what happens" when you give birth, so you aren't there saying "the baby comes out of WHERE?!?!" (haha).... read up on what could go wrong, so that if something (godddd forbid) does go wrong, you can handle it. when my son was born, we knew he was coming early, because labor started at 29 weeks. so i read EVERYTHING about preemies i could find, so when he was born, i knew he would sleep in an incubator, have an apnea monitor, a nasal feeding tube, bili-lights... the works. i was prepared, and could handle it. BUT, no matter how prepared you are, or think you are, your hormones will be fucked after birth, so you will cry. all the time. no reason. just cry. just know that your body will get back to normal, and you will be wonderful mother.
Don't worry, everything will be fine. Your hormones are up and down right now, so it's normal to be apprehensive. Through it all though, I think you look fabulous, and in no time at all, the "bullet" will be here, and you'll be busier than ever! ;D It is exciting. :)

And what's up with all these people giving you clothes? Don't they know that you're supposed to be naked all the time?!
You need to start resting a whole lot more!

just don't think about it TOO much and you'll feel better. it's when you start thinking in detail that it starts to get overwhelming.
