It has finally sunk in.

NoelMarieFrey · November 2013

Good evening fellow bump ladies I hope everyone had a good weekend!

I wanted to share this, because I think it has finally sunk in that in three short months I will be having a baby (wow). Today I had my regular three week follow up with my OB, and I finally got my slip for my one hour glucose test which I will be taking tomorrow (I got the orange drink, and it is in the fridge for tomorrow). While I was sitting there after being weighed in, I over heard my doctor talking to one of his patients asking her how far along she was. She replied eight weeks, and when she did I had a flashback at my first doctors appointment at six weeks. It was then I realized that I am almost twenty five weeks, and will be entering my third trimester very soon. Then BAM it finally hit me that I am actually having a baby, there is actually a little human being growing and kicking inside of me!

Any other ladies had this moment yet? If so, when and how did it hit you? If not, when do you think it will?

Not yet for me... I'm 26 weeks and going to be a FTM.... I think it way hit me once we finally pick up our crib at the end of this month... Idk or when I go to my first Lamaze class next week!!!

Nope, still hasn't sunk in for me. At this point I'm not sure that it ever will. I mean, we have the baby gear, we start Lamaze tonight, I look pregnant, I feel her, but it still doesn't seem real.

It comes and goes with me. I think I won't fully comprehend it until the baby is actually here. Or even a few days later. Mentally of course I know it, but I can't really picture my own baby, full time, forever. It just seems to amazing

It is hitting me now.... I am so not prepared for this one... With DS1 we had the nursery finished by 24 wks, had clothes washed and put in the drawers.... had a hospital bag packed by 28 wks etc... This time... The nursery still has all the guest bedroom furniture. Crib is in storage, along with the baby clothes, swing, and other baby gear...

I just don't know how/when I'll get it all done... esp. with having to take it easy due to early contractions and taking care of DS1.... oh and working full time on top of all that.

Hasn't hit me yet... I mean not really. Two of the ladies in town had theirs this past week, but I'm still somewhat freaked and in denial...

Like some of the PPs have said, it really comes and goes for me. It's hard to believe that this week, I'll be hitting 28w, and that means only 8 weeks, and she could be here! The next 2 months are going to fly!

My mum said to me the other day "in 14 or so weeks you'll be having a baby" - panic set in lol

littlepig2 · November 2013

I think it's slowly starting to sink in. someone at work was talking about a date in December and I was thinking, "oh I'll be 30 weeks!" and then I thought 32, 34, 36.. and panic set in haha. it seems like it's taking so long but it's still so surreal!! I don't think it'll really hit me until she's here

PeachLove25 · November 2013

I'm 26.5 and it's just slowly sinking in. It's still surreal even though her nursery is ready to go. DH and I were just saying last night that we don't think it will hit until we are home with her and don't know what to do, ha!

TiffanyCMU25 · November 2013

It's so funny you posted this because I was just thinking today that in 3 months or less my DH and I will become a family of 3!!! It's so crazy!! I have so many different types of emotions running through my mind thinking about it because I know that we are ready but then sometimes I'm like "Holy shit am I really ready!". Then other days I get super excited to me her and the next I'm freaking out a bit that I will soon have a LO to take care of!! At least we are all in this together and can vent and express our emotions about it together! Thanks BUMPIES!!

It still hasn't really hit me, it just seems surreal. I had my GD test this morning and will now have appointments every 2 weeks. I did order my first box of wipes and diapers and they will be arriving tomorrow. I think once I finally start getting the nursery decorated, it will become more real.

pinkgrl84 · November 2013

It really hit me when I was at the hospital (L&D) on Saturday for my kidney stones. I was in one of the birthing rooms because the triage was full. I was laying in the bed thinking about how I would be back there in about 3 months or less to give birth. Seeing the delivery lights, little baby station and hearing someone in labor a room away really made things more real. I was just telling DH tonight how it kinda freaked me out and gave me my first real panic moments! I am getting really excited but that was sure a wake up call!

Ditto! I feel this baby girl kicking me, I look pregnant, but... Still not hitting me. No idea when, or if, it will... Maybe when I go in to labor? Lol

djtippietoes · November 2013

It still hasn't really sunk in for me yet. We just started working on the nursery and haven't really bought any baby stuff, so maybe after that?

halfthetree · November 2013

Yup once I hit 3rd tri I realized that I need to prepare a bit haha
And now it really sunk in for DH after we were laying cuddling and a foot literally pushed my belly button up over and inch, it was the weirdest thing ever and he realized there was a real baby in there haha

I don't think I'm fully there yet...I mean I know there is a baby and in about 14 wks (or less) it will probably be born. I haven't bought a single thing for this baby myself because I can't bring myself to make up my mind on anything. Yesterday, at my appointment though was the most real... Scared, worried mom feeling of dread I've ever felt. I mean, they basically told me that they believe something is wrong with LO that will require surgery after birth. In my head I'm like ok, NBD...I had the same issue and here I am...just fine. Not to mention the mention of this issue usually happening in down syndrome babies...which in my head I'm thinking yeah but I had the issue & there's nothing wrong with me, baby shows no other signs of any markers for down syndrome so testing that's just a precaution. Then on the other hand, I'm also telling myself that this problem is all MY fault. I had this stupid issue & had to go through this same stuff and I always, my whole life wondered if when I had kids I'd pass it along and sure enough...looks like I really did. With everything else going on why did my kid need this too!? Sorry/rant. I feel like an emotional roller coaster & that experience made it definitely feel real.

Don't say sorry!!!! That's what were here for. I am always ok with someone venting/ranting after they have had a bad day. I am so sorry your going through all of this

I can only imagine what it feels like. Just keep your head up, and think positive thoughts (which I know can be hard).
