How do I get DH to realise that this baby will arrive on it's own schedule not his?

I love DH to bits but he is driving me mad at the moment as I can't seem to get his help with any of the baby prep.

Last time, he went completely overboard and had the crib and cot set up by 6 months, a pram in the garage ready and was hassling me to pack my hospital bag.

This time he is so laid back that he is almost horizontal. It has taken him almost a year to get round to sorting out the spare room and decorating it so that DS1 can move out of the 'baby' room. He agreed to start it while we were still TTC

Baby is due in 6 weeks but I have no pushchair/pram as he broke the buggy a few weeks ago and he won't fix it. He's ordered a double buggy from somewhere on the net months ago, it didn't arrive and he won't chase it up.

All the baby things are still in the loft and the loft is so full that I can't get the stuff down on my own.

Every time I ask him to do anything baby related, he explains his plans for the coming weekend and tells me it'll have to wait a couple of weeks..

I need to put a rocket under him but how?

Not sure anyone really can help, just need to vent my frustration, sorry.

I'm not sure it matters that much TBH. I took an exam 4 weeks before DS2 was due and had plans to "get ready for the baby" in the following month. He was 3 1/2 weeks early and most of those jobs still haven't been done (he's now 6) I don't think it's really had any major adverse effect on us though.

Explain that as you and LO are going to have to co-sleep due to lack of other options, he will have to sleep on the sofa?

He might quite like that though..
