I am so ready to meet my lil guy...Im 34 weeks and I feel so uncomfortable and ready to have this baby. Im getting so tired of treking into work and sitting at my desk all day. The commute into NYC is taking its toll on me and unfortunately I cannot start my maternity leave yet because I dont want to miss a day being with my baby boy. Anyone else feel this way??????

Re: who else is just ready?!!!!!?
Just get ready- at 34 weeks I only thought I felt ready- fast forward three weeks and think back to how great you felt by comparison. And I hated hearing all the women ahead of me say "just wait.. blah blah blah" three weeks ago, but they were right
Enjoy the quiet time; your LO is about to start gaining 1/2 lb a week- HELLO back pain, hip pain, discomfort all over. My poor daughter comes home and asks me if my back hurts and if she can rub it for me (she puts the little green vibrating massager thing on my back) and then asks if I need a band-aid (stick on pain patches). She's only 3....
I feel your pain. Just a few more weeks. Just keep your eyes on the prize!
Definitely there.
34 weeks as well, but already much larger and more uncomfortable than my last two pregnancies AND I still have to chase the kiddos around the house and do the housework (DH works a ton. He helps when he can, but I still have to do pretty much everything I did before I got pregnant), etc. Oh, man, I'm so ready for it to be March so I can be past the 37 week mark and not worry about contractions like I do now.
I saw a doctor today (not my normal OB, he's in Hawaii this week) and she was surprised when she looked at my chart and realized I was only 34 weeks. LO and I are already measuring full-term. Considering she had recently given birth herself, I got a lot of sympathy, lol.
I commute into NYC too, and I told my boss I was only coming in 2x a week starting Feb 1 (around 34 weeks for me), and would work from home 3x a week. We have a big deadline end of march, so he didn't have much of a choice, since he can't replace me at such short notice.
I was just so sick of feeling like I was going to pee my pants because I work all the way down town (and am terrified of using the public bathrooms around this city), plus having to duke it out for a seat on metro north and then also on the subway.
But now that the nursery is set up, bags are packed, carseat is installed, I am ready to go! I just want to get this show on the road. I am so looking forward to be able to get out of bed without feeling like an upside down turtle!
That is so cute and sweet!!
From the PP whose daughter offers a massage and a band-aid - that is adorable! I wish that a band-aid magically worked for everything... What surprises me the most is that now I'm going to be the mom, with the ability to kiss it and make it better!
I'm very ready to meet this kiddo. I'm also working full time until I absolutely cannot, which these days means working from home Mondays, then four tens Tuesday through Friday (I wish I was hourly, but faculty status comes with an unwritten expectation to work more than a standard forty). Luckily, I have my own office so I can put my feet up and be fairly casual, but it still is taxing to be at work all of the time.
I am 34 weeks today. I am ready to meet little one, but not ready or wanting to deliver at this point. I would rather it be closer to the ideal 40 weeks. But I just wish the next few weeks would hurry up!!!! I am getting very excited to find out the gender and what the baby will look like! I am still working and able to go to the gym, so I can't complain too much! I am leaving on mat leave as close to the due date as possible.
38 weeks here, due March 1st. Im in NYC too and the commute is making me want to cry.
I was going to work until next Friday the 22nd. But I am just done so, it was approved that I could make this Friday my last day and then work from home next Tues-Thurs (since Mon is a holiday) so the timeclock on my leave still starts on the 22nd which is great, because I was beginning to think I was going to have a baby on the LIRR.
