My brother & sister-in-law + their 2 kids live 2 states away, & we only get to see them 3-4 times a year. Well, they stayed at our house this weekend because they had to come to Ohio for a funeral. As they were leaving to go home we realized the next time we get to see them we will have a baby with us. :-SS
My husband thought I was like 4 or so months a week ago.. I was like no.... >.<
My due date is May 14th but I told DH it would be awesome for her to be born on Mothers Day!.. He told me to hold her in there (in a joking voice) till fathers day! That would be 10months and 1 day! crazy man =P
I'm also due the 14th. And I told my DH it would be such an awesome feeling to become a mom on Mother's Day!
My RCS is exactly 10 weeks away and I'm in serious denial. I also think I'm possibly suffering from prenatal depression and anxiety. I have so much to do to get ready that I feel too overwhelmed to begin. We've done nothing ... no...thing... to get ready. I'll be over here breathing in a paper bag...
Tomorrow I am halfway through my last semester at the community college before I get my associates and transfer to Wayne State! It hit me that I only have 7 weeks of school left and then I graduate a few weeks later, and my due date is only two weeks after that!!! What!?!
DH keeps joking I'm going to go into labor during the graduation ceremony and end up delivering in my cap and gown!
@ISeeYouRN I was planning on transferring in the Fall, but with the new addition, I'm going to probably wait until Spring semester. I'm definitely excited/anxious to transfer and work on my bachelor though, and Wayne is one of the top MI schools for my degree which definitely sweetens the deal in addition to the transfer scholarship I should receive thanks to my gpa!
ummm, can my "shit got real" moment be that I haven't made any of the preparations you ladies have?? We are not setting up a nursery (probably moving right after I deliver) and not arranging for childcare here (again, because of the probably move). I feel so unprepared! At least my labor/delivery classes start next week, so hopefully that will help me feel better!
I just hit double digis but shit still hasn't gotten real . Waiting for that moment. I did get a weird burst of nervousness last night thinking about labor and delivery but nothing.
We put the crib together this weekend... that freaked me out. So of course I kept teasing DH to freak him out too... "Can you believe your SON is going to sleep in there soon?" FTM obviously.
1. We have less than 3 months to get big brother's room cleaned out and ready for him and Baby Girl's name picked out. 2. We went to BRU and did the GTE and got Baby Girl's infant seat and ordered her the Rock N Play. 3. I will be doing hospital registeration at this Friday's appt (btw I started my bi-weeklys).
This reminds me- I need to pre-register for the hospital. Arg!
I'm not ready for it to be real! We don't close on our house until the end of the month and then we will be movingn and getting the nursery ready while having 2 baby showers, one which I have to travel for... We have too much to do in what seems like no time at all! Meanwhile I'm interning and preparing to graduate one week before she is due to arrive.... Whew.... The stress and anxiety is definitely setting in now!
I went to go see the house my mom is buying today and she was talking about how she is going to fill in the water feature in the yard because 1. It is ugly and 2. It's not safe for the baby to be back there. Um, I am going to have a baby that is going to be here by the time she moves in. AH!!
My hubby told me that we have 8 WEEKS TO GO this
Saturday.I was like, you have to be
wrong…But he was right with a due date
of May 2 and an two week early C-section scheduled.I sooooo don’t feel ready. In fact just
typing this makes me feel a little bit anxious.

This gave me an "oh shit" moment... Knowing that someone in my BMB is for sure going to have their little babes in 8 short weeks (I'm sure there will be others), but actually seeing it typed out like that... :-SS
Kinda getting my "oh shit just got real"/ I'm gonna have it again soon. A friend gave us a ton of baby stuff last night. I mean we already have the nursery painted and have a few baby items... but we have 2 bags of different size clothes I need to go through and a bunch of baby gear SITTING IN THE NURSERY now! Also, a friend of mine is giving us her crib that was hardly used this weekend. We'll have a crib set up by Monday! Hit the double digits finally. Child birth class was supposed to start yesterday, but the instructor had a family emergency and it's put off tip next week now... I think when I walk into that class, do the hospital tour, and whatnot it will be much more in my face that we'll be having a baby soon! Also, DH is getting fitted for his tux for our friend's wedding thats 9 days before my EDD... Like seriously?! You're getting fitted for this already! We just witnessed him proposing what seems like yesterday! But this baby shower needs to get here already, I feel so unprepared until I can see what I need to get after thats done. Oh and MIL and I picked out the fabric for a rocking chair she's handing down to us (was DH's great grandmother's, as my baby shower present from her she's having the chair completely restored!! Amazing gift!).
Is it just me or do you feel like you want more time to be ready, yet want baby in your arms like right now? Haha!!

I just went with my hubby this weekend to get the travel system for the baby as a gift from my parents, and I wanted to put the base in the car so that it wasn't taking up space in the house. Yeah, there's going to be a baby in the car in approximately 13 weeks. Also I leave for FL tomorrow for a week, and when I get back I have to do the GD test with my midwife, and she said when I went yesterday that the baby already had his head down. The look on my hubby's face when I said that was like "Oh Crap!"
@jay3907 - HAHAHAHAHA -- THAT IS AWESOME!!! You must make note of that in a baby book or something for future memories.
@RedInLove -- I experienced that for the first time this weekend too! DH was like "Um, do you know your sweater is moving around?!"
Last week I passed the 100 day countdown, which was eye opening. My mom is working on finalizing shower invitations to order today/tomorrow which means I have to finalize my registry, which scares the bejesus out of me for some reason. Also, this weekend we visited friends out of town and came home with actual baby things that are now sitting in our living room -- how's that for real!!! Yikes!
I bought some baby clothes at kohls the other day and the associate said "how much time do you have left?" That was my holy shit moment. I stuttered and said "2.5 months, I think... I don't know... " Time left? When did I get on the other side of the hump? I still feel barely pregnant sometimes (then I look in the mirror and am quickly reminded that whale looking back is me...)
This just got real moment was this weekend. My mom and aunt came in to town and bought me the take home outfit for my little boy. It is so freaken cute and it's laying on my dinning room table. I'm going to embroider his name on his hat and receiving blanket. It's so exciting! I think things will get a lot more real when 30 weeks hits though. I'm due May 30th so I've got a little more time then some of you.
Re: Shit got real Sunday? Can we start this?
It is impossible they were ever that tiny.

I think by around 30 weeks.
