Caution: Dear diary post ahead...

Last night as I lay in bed with DH's hand on my belly, him laughing at LO squirming around, I realized how sad I'll be when this part is over.  Don't get me wrong, I'm so ready to meet this baby and finally be able to put a name and face with all the little jabs and kickboxing sessions, but I've so enjoyed having this LO in there and the time DH and I have spent on belly talk and daydreaming over what this baby will be like.  I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, it just seems to hit me at the craziest times, especially now that I know that one way or another there will be a baby here in three weeks max!  Back in November I would have sworn I'd be the woman screaming "get this baby out!" come June!  Who knew I'd be two weeks away wishing for baby to come out and stay in all at once!

I feel the same way. This is my last pregnancy so as much as I am ready to have my body back, not pee every 5 seconds, etc. I will miss this feeling and I am also a little freaked about going from one kid to two I want her to arrive but I can also stand to wait just a little bit longer.

Its a very sweet feeling, indeed. But I just want her here... I'm sure ill be eating those words once she's out, but I'm SOoOoOo done.

I completely understand the feeling. It has been such an incredible journey and as this part comes to an end I find myself almost wishing it wasn't but being excited that it is. So much will be changing soon and there are moments where I know that I am being selfish in that I am not quite ready to share baby with the rest of the world. I have loved experiencing the kicks and the rolls and all of the milestones and gettinng to share those with DH. Now it's just about time for baby to arrive and I keep telling myself remember this moment, when LO is 4mo and screaming, remember this moment, when LO is 16 and I am ripping my hair out....

It is so bittersweet!!! I feel the exact same way! LO was showing off some serious dance moves pretty late last night and DH got to see it all. We laughed and talked to LO, it was pretty special.

I'm feeling the same way. I can't wait until the baby is here and I get to hold him in my arms whenever I want. But I'm going to miss the feeling of being pregnant, feeling him kick and roll and nudge me. It makes me feel really bonded with him, and I love having him to myself. I just try to concentrate on all the great things about him being born, like watching my husband become a dad.

Same here.

I'll definitely miss those moments, but I am SOOOO ready for him to be here.

I agree.  Being pregnant is such a small fraction of your life and it is sad that it is almost done.  There are these important milestones in life (graduation, marriage, first child) and it is exciting when you reach them but also sad because it feels life is going too quickly.
