Time is Flyin

rkatw37

Anybody else feel like their pregnancy is flying? I am 25 weeks and cant believe another week has flown by!! 

snackcakes1417

Yes. This pregnancy seems to be going faster than the 1st. 

lancomechica2

Yes. This one is going so much faster I feel like since about 18 weeks. I can't believe I'm almost 23 weeks. I'm shocked. 

MaximumEffort

Must be flying for you, we haven't seen you here before.

Some days I definitely feel like it's going by so quick and the odd day I think omg, there are so many weeks left! 

foxaírt

A little but we have been super busy for me the first half of the year is always jammed with events and projects so most weekends are pretty booked until august . I always feel like the year is zooming past by this point 
But this year in particular since we also just bought our first house and any spare time was used up with that. And the baby just kind of hopped on top of all the busy . 
Starting to panic now with only 15 weeks to go and house settles 2/8 we have to not only paint and furnish a nursary to expect our first baby along with all the other notions they come with but we have to furninsh a whole house as we only own a bedroom set  a fridge and industrial sewing machines 

We are moving 2 hours away which complicates the birth a little since we are staying with the midwives and hospital we are with so also need to work something out there ...

I can't decide if it's going fast or slow lol. I keep trying to tell myself to slow down and enjoy this pregnancy since it will be my last, but with 2 kids already and feeling so out of my element, I'm just ready to speed this thing up so I can feel like myself again and get my energy back. 

ShePersisted

It's mixed for me. Feels slow when I'm counting days and then suddenly feels like fast if I have to think about all I still have to get done. 

Airynn Chica

It's slow for me but I'm happy with that!

littlemissc17

@ShePersisted I definitely have to agree with that! 

samsterrr

Definitely feels like it's taking forever, but I'm so uncomfortable and want to be done I think that's why hahaha. But then I think that way back in march is when I found out. That seems like it went by fast looking back!!

sarahunderthesea

I agree with it zooming by, but that may be because I already have a toddler so it is difficult/near impossible to slow down to enjoy this pregnancy the way I really would like to. I also have just been more active in general this pregnancy which I think has contributed to it flying by.

kdl89

Time went by so fast up until 20 weeks now I feel like it has slowed down.   But when I think how baby will be here in 16 weeks I get a little freaked out because of everything that still needs to be done. 

mymulligan

I'm mixed. Sometimes it feels fast and other times slow. I'm so happy to be more than halfway and I do think it will go faster from here. 

amber0529

It's going by so fast but that's because I never have time to stop. Between working 6 days a week, going to the doctor once a week, having a 3 year old and working on a new house while still living in the old house it's a lot! Too much actually. 

NYTino24

Anxiety has definitely set in. It seems like a lot of time left and not a lot of time left at the same time!

cmarie28

@MaximumEffort is it necessary to be rude?

cmarie28

And yes, this pregnancy feels like it's going by much faster than my first! This summer has been really busy for us so I'm hoping once things slow down in the next few weeks I'll get a chance to get everything in order for the new baby! 

goatgettingmarried

This is kind of weird but I feel like it's taking a long time because November really seems like winter to me and it's so summery out that winter seems really far away. 

MaximumEffort

@cmarie28 it was more snarky than rude. And yes, if I must be honest. You all feel free talking to someone who has never introduced themselves to you before 25 weeks. This BMB is very timid as was my response to her, I didn't feel like taking the time to write the whole "welcome, please introduce yourself..." yadda yadda that everyone else does.  

Abby7

Yes, it is FLYING. I ordered nursery bedding back in May and was going to use its arrival to make decorating decisions for the rest of the nursery, and it has been on back order forever now...so I have no nursery and I am freaking out. Also I need my downstairs completed before he arrives and the contractor has not given me a firm date. I am definitely freaking out all of a sudden, as the third tri is looming.

mymulligan

What @goatgettingmarried said. It's 90 degrees out and November feels like a million years away right now!

snackcakes1417

@MaximumEffort just an FYI I have introduced myself and have been around here and there. This is different sn than last pregnancy. I am not new the BMB. 

tsa208

It's going by very fast. I think it's because it's summer and in the Midwest, you have to pack as much activity in the summer before the winter comes (cue GOT meme). So I've just been so busy that I haven't had time to do my usual obsessing, which is probably why it's going faster.

MaximumEffort

@snackcakes1417 I didn't call you out, I responded to OP, and that was that screen names first ever post on the BMB, the one who didn't like my comment never introduced herself either and has been MIA for 3 months. Not going to apologize. 

tsa208

Meh, the OP spurred good conversation. 

MaximumEffort

Meh indeed

snackcakes1417

My bad. I just don't think it matters so much on benign posts. There are always going to be random people who wander in and have zero clue. 

kaitlinliz

Definitely flying by! I have 16.5 weeks to go and nothing is done! Crib and dresser are still in boxes. DH works EVERYDAY so he's not around to do it on weekends and I feel like it needs to get done. Baby shower is next month and I want the nursery set up so we can add to it when we get our stuff from there. I'm beginning to panic but I can't do the stuff alone and we don't have family or friends nearby

foxaírt

@kaitlinliz
If he gets the boxes out for you could you sart putting things together ?

We are 25 weeks and still waiting to get the keys for our house . We haven't even bought furnature . And will want to paint the baby room too we actually haven't got anything just a few clothes . Need to order furnature, nappies , car seat , pram all of it . 

cwalker042

The first 18 or so weeks have creeped by but now it's starting to pick up. I have less than 4 months and we haven't even begun the nursery yet! 

littlemissc17

@kaitlinliz @cwalker042 if it makes you ladies feel any better, I've done nothing to prepare for the baby yet. At least you're more prepared than me! 

kwaldy

Flying for me, as well. I don't have time to focus on every single day while chasing a toddler lol. 

girlmomi2j17

The first 12 weeks felt like forever but since then it's been going by so fast. I feel so unprepared this time.

The only prep I've done is buy some NB and 0-3 months clothes, a package of size 1 diapers and new bottles. I had bottles from DS but I wanted to try the Como Tomo bottles, plus they are pink! We need to get her dresser soon. 

littlemissc17

@cwalker042 that's actually not too bad! I keep telling myself that I will start to prepare once I get my oldest back in school, but the truth is that I'm just a procrastinator lol

tsa208

On the flip side, I have done almost everything. Nursery done, classes scheduled, even found a pediatrician. However, everyone warned me not to do that because the time you need the distraction is when you are big and later along, when time really just slows down. So you ladies are probably doing it right. Now I have nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs for 3 months! 

Airynn Chica

I haven't done much and I'm not stressed out it. I'm a bit "roll with the punches" or it'll figure itself out. I have a bassinet, swing, bouncy, and shelving unit all second hand. I have enough sleep n plays to last a bit(10 or so). It's all in the basement--I haven't started washing anything. I figure I'll do that in nov. 

kaitlinliz

@cwalker042 @littlemissc17 @foxaírt the dresser is put together in the box but the crib has to physically put together and I can't do that myself. We have clothes in our storage unit that need to be pulled out, but idk where they are since he was the only one there when movers were putting stuff in there and it's jam packed. He has to get our washer and dryer out of storage as well and set up, I can't do that for obvious reasons, so I'm literally just twiddling my thumbs until he realizes we don't have time to bs..he really thinks we have all the time in the world and isn't worried. Before knowing my invites were sent out to guests for the shower, he asked why couldn't I push the date back, why did it have to be when I wanted it....really? He's so clueless when it comes to pregnancy and how I'm physically feeling let alone emotionally, and if I try to tell him he thinks I'm exaggerating. I think he's just overwhelmed with work and doesn't kno how to handle everything. 

ariasbabyblog

I have a ton to do, but the times I have available to do them (the boys' nap times) are the only times I get to sit down, so I haven't gotten nearly as much done as I was hoping to do by now. 

foxaírt

Ah fair enough. I'm usually the one who puts furnature together. Often because if we have had something delivered it comes while he's at work so I just do it . .. also I'm faster at it ha ha 
Bummer about storage . Obviously heavy lifting is off the table and so shifting boxes around looking for the right one is not an option. Maybe he just thinks it won't take that long ..
