Is it just me...or has time literally stopped?

CanadianinIndia · February 2011

I don't know about you girls, but time used to go by so quickly and I always found myself saying "where did the time go." BUT now that I am counting days and weeks (days until first dr's appt, weeks until first u/s, months until 1st trimester is over)... time has practically stopped.

When I see my ticker and it says...baby is now 5 weeks and 2 days old. I find myself thinking...that's all!!! Wasn't baby 5 weeks 2 days old like a few days ago. Nope that is just crazy time, stopping and making this wait so long.

I clearly remember my 1st trimester dragging on and on and on when I was pregnant with DD. The 2nd and third flew by (perhaps less worried, less sick).

Does anyone else feel like this? Or do I just need to make myself busier. Although I don't how I could get busier with a 17 month old running around! LOL!

I am so very much with you on this one! My first appt. isn't until March 1 and it's taking forever to get here!!

I just keep trying to tell myself that I need to enjoy every minute of this pregnancy because it will be over before I know it.

Im actually on the other end of the spectrum. Halfway through the first tri already? Didnt I JUST get my BFP?

I doubt you could make yourself busier if you tried! Jack is 15 months and sheesh!

Even with a little one at home to keep up with, along with housework, working full-time, etc. I feel like time has come to a screeching hault. Again. Can't wait for X to happen (X is something different at any given time...). I just do my best to enjoy each and every day and love my body and my baby! I can only imagine what life will be like when this one is here, with 2 under 2. Yikes! haha

We're waiting to tell family, and the other day I was thinking, we'll, we've already waited 3 weeks... Which is when I realized we had another 4 to go - longer than I've known I'm pregnant! It seems like forever.

PearlPink · February 2011

I feel this way also, on one hand its great because I'm enjoying having DH home etc (military and he deploys soon) but on the other its like COME ON 2ND TRIMESTER!! If I must endure several more weeks of this vomiting/nuesea combo I might die. lol I hate being sick, I can deal with the gassy cramps but the puking and gagging has got to stop!

My first appointment isn't until March 4th and that seems like an eternity!

Both times I have been pregnant, the beginning DRAGS on and on and on. Especially if you are waiting to tell people. We will be telling most of our family this weekend and everyone else by 6 weeks, so hopefully it goes by faster after that.

For me I'm happy it's dragging a little. If this went fast that would mean my DD would grow up really fast too and I'm not sure I'm ready for that. I want to enjoy as much if her as possible. I would like to get to the 2nd trimester soon though and then let it go slow. The 2nd and 3rd trimesters fly by! Grace will be one before I know it then this new LO will be here!

Totally with you! I feel like it stopped when we started TTC. Just counting days makes it go so slow. Waiting to test, doc appt, etc.

BettyBookworm · February 2011

I feel like time has slowed down too. I am just enjoying these days as much as I can. Its kind of messed up to admit, but I love each & every moment of this sickness, fatigue and bloat. I am anxious for my first appointment, but I won't get this time again with this baby. So I just take it a day at time. Its amazing how much love slips into your heart when you see that BFP. I never imagined.

Princess Irachka · February 2011

I totally agree with you. Lots of day/week/month counting until 1st appt, 1st u/s, end of 1st tri, etc. Can't time move just a little faster or at least just get past the time period that I feel like crap all day long?

Jlozano · February 2011

Time is dragging for me too! My 1st appt. is 3/3 and I had to tell someone what 2 weeks from today was at work and realized I have a whole 2 weeks left!! I am always very busy, with Monday usually being the only day I dont have somethign to do after work and time is still dragging!

alison2379 · February 2011

I find that each day can go by slowly, but that the week markers feel like they're going faster than the day feels, if that makes sense. I can't believe blueberry day is only a couple days away for me. I think the poppy seed stage is and feels like the longest.

CanadianinIndia · February 2011

Well good! I'm glad it's not just me. LOL

I know I should slow down and enjoy this time, and yes I also don't want my daughter to grow up so quickly. I just hate all this waiting. I'm just too darn impatient!

Tomsbabyboo · February 2011

This is exactly how I feel, and it's even worse now that my dating scan put me 3 days behind! I literally was 6w4days 2 days ago, LoL.

Temp878586125009588 · February 2011

I'm feeling this way too, I only got my BFP on Monday, it feels like time is just creeping by... I thought this morning when I woke up, finally made it to 4 weeks! lol

My fist appointment isn't until March 21st, that seems like decades away!

moviesprincess · February 2011

I totally agree. It will 3 weeks tomorrow that I got my BFP and it feels like time has been standing still. I have been counting the weeks until we go back home and tell my parents and thank goodness it is only a week away now, but it seems like that will take forever.

I feel the same way!
