Single digits have me like........

cal031686

Weekly count down to baby is in single digits. Who is freaking out with me??!!

Pam973

I had that exact feeling this morning when I logged in. 

michelle_shelle

Joining you ladies. I'm freaking out. I have not signed up for any classes or anything yet... Is this a thing? Lol I'm in a small town and pretty sure we don't have that stuff...just pamphlets. Eeeck! Here's to hoping I don't go early.

I'm not quite into single digits yet (30 weeks as of last Saturday) but I had a "woah" moment when I hit 30 weeks for sure. 
Is anyone else lurking the May/June boards to look at the adorable babies in the birth announcements!? I just went through the June one - several babies born at 37-38 weeks. Kind of crazy to think that we could really go anytime, and that 2-3 weeks early is totally normal. CRAZY!

I had an OMG moment last night looking at a box of diapers sitting in our living room. It's getting real. Plus, we're moving at the end of this month and basically have nothing ready... So yeah, you are not alone in freaking out!

@1faceinacrowd I totally lurk on the other boards to see the babies! Seeing much cuteness reminds me why The aches and pains and tiredness are all going to be worth it.

I still have 10 weeks to go, but I'm still freaking out a little. Where has the time gone?!?

cal031686

We have been doing renovations and couldn't be in our house so I have NOTHING done for baby. We are allowed back in now but there are higher priorities that need completed first. I'm hoping baby stays put until everything is cleaned, organized, and ready for her.

All the little tiny cuteness in the other month boards is killing me. I can't wait to meet my little one. I just can't believe we are this close to go time!

I'm still a little over 11 weeks out from my due date but I keep saying that I only have 10 weeks to get everything in order (I delivered DS at 36w but hoping this one stays in until at least 38).  Thankfully I'm getting into nesting mode and knocking stuff off the to do list, but it's definitely getting real now!

jacmkelley

Yes having this freak out feeling too!!!!!

pelorunningmama

I'm still 12 weeks out but am worried about how fast that time is going to go. We still have SO much to do on the home renovations before I can start getting the nursery ready. Hoping to get it all done soon!!

I keep oscillating between feeling scared of how soon it could be and trying to figure out how I'm going to pass the time. There's still plenty to do, but some of it I feel like it's still too early for. Just a general feeling of hurry up and wait.
It's silly, but I'm already sad about how fast those first several months will go. My nephew is about 15 months old and I just can't get over how he already seems like a kid more than a baby. I feel pretty confident about parenting a baby, but as they get older I feel more unsure.

I am not quite in single-digits (12w out, here), but have had a few OMG moments. My work is already prepping for my absence, which has made it feel so much more imminent. 12 is so much smaller a number than 36 was (we found out at 4w pregnant).

Congrats to you ladies in the single digits! "Eep!" and "Yay!" at the same time, right?

@cal031686 I'm so glad that you brought this up.  I've been relatively calm so far throughout the pregnancy and then something snapped today when I hit 9 weeks.  I feel like I just hit full-blown panic-mode.  I am hoping that it is hormones, but I agree with your sentiments completely. 

@michelle_shelle I also haven't signed up for classes so I am right there with you.

I'm just going to try to do at least one thing a day to prep, even if it is small (for example, today I installed those mirrors on the back of our car headrests.  Took 10 minutes and I felt like at least I did something.). I hope that helps!

Best wishes to everyone as the weeks tick down!

Stephanie7693

Tomorrow I will be at 9 weeks out, and I started freaking a little last night! I was venting to my dh how I don't feel ready... Baby could actually be here in a month! I'm excited and ready for pregnancy to be over, but I'm nervous for what lays ahead. It will be amazing, along with many other things lol. So crazy how fast the time has gone!!

Duffgurl

I'm a little freaked out. We have many things to do. Will be stoping by the hospital tomorrow to register. Also will contact our pediatrician. Then for sure need to do some shopping.  August will be here before we know it!

beenabee

Not quite in the single digits, I will be in 3 days though!! I'm currently 10 weeks out and it still hasn't hit me that I'm going to be having a baby (FTM) I don't think it will hit me till I'm pushing him out and he's in my arms to be honest 

cait5413

I hit 31 weeks on Thursday and I definitely had a breakdown last night--so much to do, so little time!

emmeline714

each week that goes by i know i get closer and seems like they are just flying and not taking its time, i have 10w and half and each day it seems more real to being close to holding baby girl in my arms, dreams don't help it either.

cal031686

@emmeline714 OMG the dreams!!! I have delivered baby girl and held her half a dozen times in my dreams now. Each dream delivery get weirder and weirder. The last one, baby girl and I were in the hospital a whole 12 hours and then went home. No one was with me I just went in, popped her out, and took her home to hubby and DD like no big deal!! The dreams are such a tease!!

emmeline714

@cal031686 that is funny because i dreamed that i had a curly headed girl and it was just me doing it all, then i started crying because i ad left the hospital was with baby girl and DH and then i went to doctors as i did not feel good just for them to say congrats your pregnant again, i was sobbing because i had not even spent enough with baby girl to find out i was carrying another baby inside again. THAT IS A BIG FEAR of mine.

tmk0325

Had an appt with my specialist today. The babies are weighing 2lb7oz and 2lb9oz at 28 weeks.  He said if you keep up like this (being pretty healthy and no issues), you can easily get to 35 weeks.  I'm doing the math in my head and that's 7 weeks away.  I am no where near ready!! Ahhhh!

ballofmeat

@tmk0325 holy moly! 7 weeks away! I can't wait to find out if they are girls or boys! 

becca7903

I'm right at 10 weeks out. And realizing that our last baby surprised us at 37 weeks... So I could possibly only have seven weeks left. Deep breath, no panicking just yet.... Ahhh!

cait5413

Had my first appt with a new doc today (we just moved) and I'm feeling better after the surprise ultrasound they gave me! Baby looks good - about 45th percentile in weight. ..but baby has a big head :-o ! My mom had to deliver via c - section because my brother's big head wouldn't make it through her pelvis.  Still happy to see baby happy and healthy and thumb sucking!

lblu43

30 Wk appointment yesterday, and we picked a day for the C. If he doesn't come early,  she's pulling him out at 39wks.


That's 9wks away. Holy.....

cal031686

@tmk0325 Oh $h!t I am panicking for you!!
Stay put babies!!  All these mommas still have things to do before you make your appearances!!

tmk0325

@midwestbaby I know me too!  
@cal031686 thanks! I'm trying not to freak too much! 

Car0liiine

@cal031686 @emmeline714
 I've only had a couple of dreams with baby in it but she's always able to do things like crawl or walk or talk a little even though she's the size of like a 1 month old. Last night I dreamt that I kept swaddling her and then I'd turn around and she would be smiling at me holding her arms out of the blanket like ta-da! Lol Oh and her name was Callie Day ??? Not even close to the name we have picked out.

Single digits have me like. . .  okay, you can on out now (not really, but kinda). I'm a very petite person already and people are constantly commenting that I must be due any day now (I'm not one of those people who gets offended by these statements - I agree with them! I am HUGE!). I'm 100% baby and feel SO stretched out all the time! If she made her appearance a little early (and was healthy of course!) I wouldn't be upset.

MY OCD has ensured that everything that possibly can be ready is already done - nursery, pediatrician, pre-registration at hospital, etc. It's all done. I have nothing else to do and since I'm already staying at home I have no clue what I'm going to do for the next 9 weeks. I kinda wish I hadn't got everything done now  

@michelle_shelle - I also am not signed up for any classes. Not because they aren't offered (I'm in Atlanta, they're everywhere here), but I feel that given my background I'm pretty well prepared for childbirth, child care essentials. As far as breastfeeding classes go, I've just been using the La Leche League's resources on their website and feel that knowledge alongside having lactation consultants available to us immediately after birth will be sufficient. I'm sure plenty of FTM's go into it without classes and do just fine.

@BritMC18 if you are bored, you can come to my house and start prepping for my little one!! ;-)

I'm 30w, but I'm planning to schedule my C-section on 8/5, so that actually puts me in the single digit countdown.  It makes me a little sad because even with all the ailments I actually love being pregnant.  I'm sorta hoping that this isn't our last so that I can do it at least one more time - we've also said 3 kiddos but now we're like eeeeeh lets see how we do with two (plus, you know, college $$$ ugh).  But I'm also having some mommy guilt about DD not being our one and only anymore, the feeling comes and goes.  I know she'll be just fine and having a sibling is the best gift I could ever give her, I just hope she adjusts well.  I'm excited to meet this little guy, but I don't want this point in time to end.

bearsandbeets7

@SkiChic626 I go between feeling bad that it won't just be DD anymore and also feeling bad because this LO will never have the level of time and attention that we were able to devote to DD because she was our first. 

Stephanie7693

I know what you mean @BritMC18 ! I'm a sahm and have most things ready. My shower is on the 11th, so I think the week after that I will be out of things to do! Good thing it's summer and I can hang out with the kids and enjoy being outside with them and lounge in the pool all day! 
I'm not bothering with any classes either. I didn't with my first two, and I managed just fine! It was almost nice to not know exactly what to expect.   

BritMC18

@Stephanie7693 Glad to know I'm not the only one (on both counts). 

BritMC18

@cal031686 - funny you say that lol. I've been helping a friend get ready for her little one since I'm all OCD and she's a last minute person lol. 

mumblefrog86

I am freaking out now being in single digits. I will be induced at 39 weeks. I am so nervous of delivery if it will be as bad as my first, I am so worried about what life will be like with a 2yr old and a NB. Little girl is growing well though had a growth scan this week she is already 3lbs 12oz

I literally feel the exact same way. I feel so sad for DD some days like I'm doing something wrong, but I know she will love having a little brother. And I have loved this pregnancy regardless of the hard days. And I've always wanted at least 3 and we are thinking no more, but I know we will probably have one more just later down the road. So that college isn't all at the same time for these kiddos.

lucypod

I can't believe tomorrow we will be at the 8 week countdown.  Holy crap.  Everything felt so slow in the beginning and now it's speeding by.  My replacement at work started today so I've been training him and that makes everything feel so real and so soon.  I still feel like there's still sooooooo much to do but I have no energy to do it! 

MamaKSquared

We're officially 9 weeks out and there is really so much to do! I was telling DH just yesterday that I would love to be finished with everything by the time we're 4 weeks out. That way, if I go in labor early, I'm not panicking because something isn't done AND if I go full term, I'll actually have some time to work and just maintain the house. That's not looking like it will realistically happen unless I just accept that some things won't get done. I have a hard time coming to terms with that.

ShanRum3

I'm 9 weeks 5 days out, and last night I had a bit of a freak out moment....Mt BFF was just like "you got this" but I'm not so sure!!! I feel like we are so not ready and I need DH to get on the ball and help me finish the Nursery! YIKES!

Curls919

I'm not 30w until Friday but my good friend who was "only a few weeks before me" (10 weeks) had her baby yesterday. So it's definitely a "holy crap, I'm next!" moment!!
