I may get flamed for this, but...

AMYfromKY · July 2009

I am ready to get this baby out of me!

Of course, I want him to be big and healthy enough before he comes, but I am so anxious to meet him. We have have everything ready and now all we need is Henry to make things complete. When I think of having 10 weeks left I just want to scream.

Anyone else feeling anxious to give birth?

MLOVER<3 · July 2009

YES!!!

krmlaw · July 2009

Oh ... to be only 29/30 weeks again ...

its gets worse lady!

RD'sgirl · July 2009

NO! I am scared to death of childbirth, she can take her time coming. Plus, I still have a lot to do to get ready for her.

pillowbling · July 2009

Uhh, it only gets worse as you pass your EDD and have no end in sight...

sestock17 · July 2009

Instead of thinking about this time as a waiting game, perhaps you can make it about you and DH. These are your last child-free weeks together. Go on more dates, take a weekend trip, rent a movie and hold hands, read those books you won't have time to once LO gets here.

Yes I am excited to meet my new son or daughter, but am I ready to say goodbye to the life I have been used to? I don't know, but I am thankful I have a few months to figure it out.

Mommy2Gav · July 2009

Nope. I cherish every pregnant moment. Even the painful ones.

I still haven't finished cleaning out what will be the nursery, so he can stay in for as long as he would like at the moment. But yes, I understand what you mean about the excitement of meeting your LO.

mrsmel · July 2009

everyone is excited and anxious.

but you have way too much time to let it start getting to you. if you do, you will be one miserable, complaining pregnant lady in 10 weeks.

LEE_V · July 2009

No flames from me

I am excited for OCTOBER to be here so that I can meet this baby.. but after a scare this weekend with a UTI. . I am NOT ready for this baby to be born!!!!!!!!!! Not even close. She needs to grow and be healthy and I have a million prep things to do still

This for sure!! We are trying to get in the last of our alone time before LO arrives. Don't rush the process.

LizBusch · July 2009

meee! i feel like the next 9 weeks are going to crawl. we just had our childbirth class this weekend and even though it was sort of intimidating, it made us both even more excited.

THIS!! A thousand times this.

Starlette1983 · July 2009

This is why I am glad I didn't get the nursery and stuff all set and ready to go until just a few weeks ago. ?I would be the one sitting, twiddling my thumbs waiting for my LO to get here when I still had a LONG wait ahead of me!

lasirene · July 2009

No flames from me! I was so ready at 30 weeks because I have had a really good, healthy, and uneventful pregnancy. I was really restless, but then it calmed down with showers and other planned events. I just started feeling that extreme restlessness again about three days ago, and here I am at 40w1day.

This exactly! I am enjoying this time, but I have to admit that I have been pretty comfortable overall throughout my pregnancy. Don't know how it feels for others. I am focusing on my last days/weeks with my husband.

Good luck to you!

I'm really looking forward to meeting our little girl and not being pg anymore, but this is such a good point, and when I think about it this way, 8 weeks seems like no time at all!

heatherlane · July 2009

You'll make it. It's been up and down for me...the 3rd tri has flown by, but I can definitely say that 31-34 weeks were TOUGH b/c I couldn't see the end, and a lot of my pain started then (even more restless sleep, lightning crotch, hip pain, back pain, major crankiness and impatience, etc.). At that time, I couldn't bear to think about making it another two months, but now I'm kind of freaked out by being full term and the fact that labor could start at any moment! (Oh, and the pain has not been constant, but better some weeks than others, so it's bearable...)

Laurie12820 · July 2009

Yep, but I'm about 9 weeks ahead of you!

FlaCourtney · July 2009

You were too efficient. If you had procrastinated more, like me, you'd be loving having that much time left. I am definitely not ready to go early!

yup.

MommyandKate · July 2009

Me! Yesterday I was in so much pain that I told DH that a small part of me is more than willing to show her the exit if she wants out of there so badly!

I know! I always procrastinate...why couldn't I have done it this time!

BeanieWeanie · July 2009

Oh I am sooo not ready! Yes, I'm huge and swollen and incredibly uncomfortable, but I'm pretty sure this is nowhere near as hard as it's going to be once LO gets here! DH and I only have one more weekend together as just us (my Mom is arriving next week and will stay till LO is here) - I'm not ready to say goodbye to being just the two of us yet!

AutumnBride929 · July 2009

I am SO glad I didn't feel like that at 29 weeks! I'm thankful I STILL don't feel like that yet! Whew! That would make for a long pregnancy if I did... good luck! LOL

AMEN to this!! I know that you are excited,but just know that your baby is cooking away : )

deb2126 · July 2009

I understand, I remember thinking 3rd tri was the longest wait of your life! Ten more weeks sounded like an eternity and I didn't want to wait that long! Then you start having birthing classes, and baby showers, and family and friends want to se eyou before the baby comes and the time FLIES by! Now I'm sitting here thinking "Oh my gosh, the nursery isn't ready and I only have 4 weeks left!" And I agree with other people, cherish every single moment you have with your SO. There are times when DH and I are cuddling on the couch now that I just get really sad, because I'm REALLY going to miss all the time we have alone together (don't get me wrong, I can not wait to meet our son!). Try not to wish the time away, I wish I hadn't done that. Cherish it all

. Plus, now I think about how much I'm going to love holding him in my arms, but just how much I'm going to miss carrying him around in my belly...feeling him everywhere I go. There are just so many changes.

This for sure. It is really bittersweet for us - so excited to meet our little guy, but also sad to end our life as just a couple. I'm so anxious for the baby to be here, but I am really enjoying our last few months together alone also!

This. Exactly.

Or get your EDD changed a couple of times and still no progress!

Enjoy your time with DH - we set up a list of tasks and adventures to accomplish before LO's arrival - had lots of fun!

jday1229 · July 2009

I didn't have that feeling until he was really squirmy one day last week and I just had this incredible urge to hold him instead of just rub him through my belly! I'm not significantly uncomfortable though, and I have a ton left to do so I'm ok waiting

monicalynn1979 · July 2009

I didn't start feeling like this until 38 weeks. Before that time went so fast but now it's crawling!

Blackvelvet · July 2009

I'm ready and have been for some time. I just want to eat a normal meal again food turns my insides into mush. After having morning sickness since December I'm not even sure what it will be like to not be sick. I wish I could just enjoy the time with DH but when you are sick what can you do, it's just not fun, and poor DH hates how I look cause it makes him feel bad (I have lost a ton of weight and my face is pale most of the time)

annibes · July 2009

*cries*. I very well may go past my EDD, so I don't have much advice, LOL. I am a basket case and SO anxious to meet my baby!

sandollar · July 2009

I am SO excited to meet him, but I am looking forward to this time. Of course, we are just starting the nursery and my shower isn't for another few weeks so I still have a lot of fun stuff to do.?

Also, our anniversary is coming and we are doing a bunch of fun romantic things while we can - dinners, a concert, a trip Upstate, spa day. I am making the most of this last month or two alone!
