Feeling like May is so far away

manderdoll

I'm sure it has to do with the fact that when I look outside all I see is snow and it's freezing cold with no sign of letting up, but I feel like May is so far away!  I have done absolutely nothing to get ready for this baby, partly because I don't feel like I actually have a whole lot I have to do, we have pretty much anything we could need and it hasn't been that long since the baby stuff was out, I never really even put most of it properly away this time, didn't seem worth the effort.

I haven't even really felt overly pregnant, I was cruising through this pregnancy (not trying to rub it in to those who aren't), until this week when I got a wicked leg cramp that is still causing me to limp, then got hit with a flu bug that knocked me on my butt and suddenly my belly feels huge, bloated and in the way.

Anyone else feel like time is standing still??

Yes.  I feel like I've been pregnant forever and May still seems so far away.  I agree that the weather may have something to do with it.  I hope once it starts to feel like spring, things will seem closer.

I feel like May is so far away when I think of getting bigger, swelling etc. it I continue to feel good them great, but I keep thinking this is going to get tough.

When I think of all of the thousands of things I still have to do before this baby comes May seems very close!!!

Typical pessimist outlook for me.

It does seem far away, but I realized today that I only have 11 weeks left until they take these babies if they don't come on their own before then. That doesn't seem so very long when I look at it that way.

Ditto!!! I'm ready for my sweet girl!!

It felt far away until I realized Monday starts 3rd tri for me. In less than 3 months I'll have a second child-just 13 short weeks or less. And I still have a lot to do, mainly non baby but need to be done before baby things.

I'm the opposite! I can't believe may (April 28th for me tho...RCS) is right around the corner! Feb is a short month, so I feel it will cruise by!

I concur. I've been pretty fortunate and for the most part enjoy being pregnant. Except the whole gaining weight thing. I feel like I've already gained too much and still have a long way to to go before ii stop getting bigger! And not just in my belly.

I still have a million things to do and buy before baby gets here though, and thinking about that makes me panic.

May feels pretty far away for me...until I look at the nursery and realize how much of it isn't ready.

Sometimes it feels far away because I'm so over being pregnant but then other times I think I'm not ready to have my world turned upside down so soon. Very mixed feelings

It seems so close to me! >.<

I have so much more to do... I dont even have the crib or essentials yet.. eek

Luckly I get to pass on decorating the nursery since she wont have one!

I was thinking the same thing...until I updated our budget in excel and realized we only get 6 more paychecks before baby!!!!!

I've just hit the part where I'm tired all the time and everything is an effort. It feels like someone pushed may back to November

Yes I feel like it is so far away. But I am also at the tail end of May for my due date which doesn't help either. So, May is 3 months away but I still have almost 4 months and I hate that. I am just so anxious for LO to be here and wish it were May already.

It feels very far away. I just feel like I should be farther along than 24 weeks 5 days. I had my DD at 37 weeks so I have to think about it that way but it just feels like the never ending pregnancy.

I feel like its especially far since I'm at the end of the month. But it does seem much closer when I count in weeks! Weeks seem to be flying by lately!

I go back and forth. The weather definitely makes it seem as if it's far away, but I only have around 90 days left, if not less since DS came two weeks early. That's not that much time! I'm getting so excited and have a lot to do in the next 90 days!

Edit: spelling, damn mobile

I was on my pregnancy checklist last night and realized that, as of today, I have 99 days left. It seems interminably long and ridiculously short at the same time. I have so much to do!

I feel exactly this way!

@TaylorHam86 yup! My belly is huge and I keep wondering how I'm going to hold it up in a couple months. I feel good now and I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
I'm in panic mode, too. I get anxious when I have too much to get done and time us ticking.
