Late 3rd Tri-ers

Anyone else feeling like a ball of mixed up emotions?

For the most part, I've had a pretty easy pg and I've really liked it.  But, as things get closer to the end, I find myself very conflicted.  I'm ready for him to come already, so I can ditch the swollen feet and hands, blood pressure monitoring, and headaches.  But at the same time I feel guilty for wishing he would come early and sad that I won't be pg anymore.  I feel anxious about labor, not knowing when it is going to happen, and taking care of him once he's home... but at the same time I'm ready for him to be an outside baby so that I can physically see that he's ok (rather than relying on him squirming about).

Blargh..... I'm confused Tongue Tied

    i think that's completely normal, hun. a week ago i was saying that i wanted, nay, NEEDED baby to stay in until at least 38 weeks, but now that i'm so close to full term, the possibility of her coming sooner is so exciting... and scary. it's definitely a mixed bag of emotions.

    as far as the labor thing goes, part of me is pretty excited about it, especially considering a week ago they thought baby was breech and i'd need a c-section. but at the same time, i literally work on an island... i have a 45 minute drive to a dock, and then a half hr ferry ride to get to work... so the idea of going into labor while AT work is really scary! hopefully if baby decides to come early, i'll have plenty of warning!

    Yes, I'm an emotional mess about it.  I'm so happy to be so close to my due date, but at the same time I will miss be pregnant.  This is my last baby and I will never have this experience again. 

    I'm physically ready (since I'm so swollen and my back is hurting so badly) but I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready.  I'm still scared.

    GL - we will all be GREAT!

    Ive been an emotional mess back and forth.  I go and sit in LO's room and read to her and just take it all in.  I sometimes feel like I need to be pinched that this is really happening.  But I so can't wait to meet her.  The antisipation is killing me. I also have been trying not to worry. I have extra fluid and have been measuring 4 weeks ahead for a while. I have had a bunch of extra u/s just to check on her. I had one last week and will have one every week till shes here. It makes me nervous and I want her to  come on her own SOON.  :)  I wish you all the best of luck in the last few weeks.
