Last month of preg.

Is there anything your enjoying about your last month of pregnancy?

If your not in your last month yet, is there anything your looking forward to?

(Besides the obvious; having the baby)

I can't wait to wear yoga pants everyday to work, and drive in rather than bus it in.

    I am enjoying being THISCLOSE to the end. Wishing it was THEEND though. Really, I'm just over the pregnancy part and ready to be a mommy. It's not as bad as it sounds to be for some, for me. But it's not a walk in the park either.

    To be completely honest, no, not really (besides the obvious; baby is almost here!)

    I am huge, uncomfortable, and swollen.  I have to pee every time I stand up, and then I have to pee again after walking 20+ steps from baby's head slamming into my bladder.  I am always hungry, and even though I am disgusted by my fat face, I still have no willpower to stop stuffing it.

    BUT, DH and family are being super sweet, and I haven't had to do more than 2 hours of chores in the past month.   So, I guess that's good.  >_<

    "Enjoying"?  Not really.  Looking forward to the end.  I've had a pretty decent pregnancy so far but this last month has been a killer...

    I'm looking forward to the attention of my last month.  Most people seem a little nicer to you, except for the occassional rude comments about being huge. I also look forward to seeing my family.  My mom will be visiting more often (she;s in PA, we're in MD).

    Nothing really.  I'm huge and ungainly, I'm running out of comfy mat clothes that will cover my belly, my back hurts, my hips kill me when I wake up in the morning from sleeping in one position all night.  I have to pee every 20 minutes, and I walk at a snail's pace because it's just so hard to move.  Plus my legs feel exhausted from carrying all the extra weight around.

    I enjoy the excitement building up and this sounds soooo bad but I've been bedrested this time and last and in some ways it's nice to get that extra attention from DH and close family.

    I'm enjoying 1) being able to leave work at 1 everyday so i can "work" from home the rest of the time. 2) wear jeans everyday because i have no other clothes that fit other then my maternity jeans. 3) Knowing the end is near and the excitement of knowing i could have a beautiful baby boy by the end of this month. 3) sleeping during the day.. i've never been a nap person but now i can't seem to keep my eyes open in the afternoon.

     

    Not enjoying 1) continued heartburn 2) painful headbutts to the cervix and kicks to ribs 3) the return of the middle of the night bathroom visits 4) my insane urgency to get the babies room ready. 5) constant comments from EVERYONE about how i look like i'm going to pop at any momment. 6) the fact that i have to work at all. I'm so over it.

    Although I am extremely uncomfortable I have to say I have been enjoying the special attention. Everyone is soooooo understanding and it's nice to finally feel okay with putting myself first for once. Plus I am just so happy to be at the end!

    I'd say the #1 best thing is knowing that DC is big enough & developed enough to be OK if anything were to happen and I went into labor early or suddenly needed a c/s.  I mean, obviously he could still develop complications of his own and every extra day in my tummy is a great thing, but it's good to know that if he had to come out today, he'd be healthy and strong, and might even be able to avoid the NICU and come home from the hospital with me whenever I go home. 

    I work in a high-stress job, and am the first woman in a LONG time at my firm not to go into pre-term labor and/or be put on bedrest, so I really worried that the same thing would happen to me.  It is a HUGE relief to have made it this far.

    I'm not anywhere near done yet, but the thing I'm looking forward to the most is being able to run again.  My doctor told me at the very 1st appt that she didn't want me running anymore (I know there are differing opinions on this, but I decided to go w/ her advice b/c she knows more than I do).  I have been soooo stressed out lately - and a lot of that is probably due to the hormones.  I can't wait to be able to run and feel my body working properly again - AND relieve some of this stress!  The walking everyday just isn't cutting it.
