*End of the month-ers who have had their babies - we love you and are SO thrilled for you, but you've graduated to being a MOOB rather than an end-of-the-month-er!

LittlePigeon · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?
Due March 28th, so 39w-4d

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?

Physically I am really struggling with work because my job has a lot of physical demands. By the time I get home for the day I am swollen and sore and crabby.

Emotionally and mentally things are starting to feel very unreal. Everyone at my midwife's office has said they would be "shocked" if I went to my due date. That has really messed with my head.

Are you on maternity leave yet?

Nope

You are already so loved by your family and friends. No matter where life takes you, you can count on us for love and support.

Now... Please make your exit promptly. Wait until tomorrow though because your grandpa is out of town for work and he is dying to meet you!

wearebirds · March 2014

When are/were you due? Due Thursday 3/27!

How far along are you? 39+5

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?
Physically- I'm so worn out. I have gotten a couple quick bursts of energy so I try and use those well to get stuff done.

Emotionally/mentally? Doing somewhat better. Trying to make myself be okay that she will come when she's ready regardless of how much sex I have. Lol.

Are you on maternity leave yet? Nope. I wish. I want every second with LO so I'm coming in til I pop.

Sweet- I can't wait to see your precious face and snuggle my sweet rainbow baby!
Get out now- seriously, kid. Get out.

Super Chicken · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you? Thursday and I am 39 weeks and 5 days.

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally? Physically I am just tired all the time, emotionally and mentally I am starting to get a little nervous. This is my first baby and I want to do a good job. I am also a little nervous about labor.

Are you on maternity leave yet? Spring break and then my maternity leave starts.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be? Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you! You can come anytime now!

saisongbird · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you? 3/31 - 39+1

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally? Physically - better, other than my hips bothering me. Lots of random pressure against my pelvic bone which hurts, but doesn't do anything productive.

Emotionally - I want my outside baby so badly! We got the cutest pics with open-mouthed baby smiles yesterday and it makes me want to meet her even more.

Mentally - it's a mind-fuck at this point. I am so tired of this guessing game.

Are you on maternity leave yet? Yes. I've been out almost two weeks due to swelling. I wish I could have been working but I worked on Sunday, and just for a few hours, and blew up all over again. Le sigh.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

Sweet - little girl, you are more loved than you could possibly know. Everyone wants to meet you - come on out!

Get out - Seriously, kid? Out. Now.

Sanibel21 · March 2014

Yay end of monthers check in! A place to commiserate!

When are/were you due? How are along are you?
Sunday 3/30, 39w2d

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?
Physically sore, tired, refluxy
Emotionally angsty. I don't want to be at work AT ALL. But I don't want to take any time away from maternity leave. I am ready to have my body back to myself.

Are you on maternity leave yet?
No

I love you so much and can't wait to be your mommy!!
The time has come for you to exit my body...

natsmama · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?

3/23 - I'm 40+3

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?

Aggravated! I have had so many false alarms. My body hurts and I would like to be able to walk without waddling again.

Are you on maternity leave yet?

Yes. I'd planned to work up until, but I just couldn't do it. My hips hurt, contractions have been coming and going, and I'm roughly the size of a hippopotamus (and none of my clothes fit) so I called it quits as of my due date.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

(Loving) Little one, thanks for upping your movement recently - it's very reassuring to feel your sweet kicks and rolls. (Get out!) I just wish the jabs weren't so frequently to my cervix. Also, I'm tired of explaining to your grandparents that you'll get here when you get here. Please come out soon.

pepperedmoth · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?

Was due yesterday, so 40+1.

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?

Pretty well, all things considered. I know this baby will come out by April 7 at the absolute latest and that is encouraging (that is when they would induce), but at the same time that's plenty of time for him to come out on his own, so I am hopeful and relaxed at least 75% of the time!

Are you on maternity leave yet?

Hell to the yes. I would not be NEARLY so functional otherwise. Due to scheduling concerns working up until the last minute wasn't really an option anyway.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

I bought you a due date present yesterday! I got you a picture book about Arthur and the Sword in the Stone for your first name, and another picture book about St. Francis for your middle name. I hoped you would want to come and read them soon!

I love you but I am very tired and would like to cuddle you. Please come out now. Also, you are getting Very Big and I am a bit worried !

Kbhunter · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?
39+4. Due 3/28

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?
I am in lots of pain walking and getting up from sitting or laying. My back and pubic bone mostly. The waddling is just horrible. I'm anxious to have this baby girl but I'm also terrified of the process. I'm nervous about being a mother and just the general not knowing what to expect. I'm scared of how our lives will change but I know we will adjust and she will be the perfect addition.

Are you on maternity leave yet?
Yes. I also do not plan on going back to work.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?
We can't wait to meet you little one, we love you so much!
Please be kind and come soon before you get much bigger and be nice to mommys body on he way out!!!

htn1763 · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you? Due 3/30. 39.2

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally? I'm still doing good. Just feeling very lazy. Sick of peeing 10 times night.

Are you on maternity leave yet? Still working, but barely. I've been working from home and will probably go in tomorrow. Otherwise, just minimal work from home until baby comes. I don't want to use my leave yet!

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be? sweet- we have been waiting for you to come into our lives for so long and can't wait to hold you!

I'm not sure I have a get out now one. I wish I knew when you were coming but if you aren't ready I will take a few more days to prepare!

kimberpoo · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?

April 4 - so 9 days from edd. my edd is the source of my frustration lately...I took a few active birth control pills before we started trying and conceived that same month, had some withdrawal bleeding too, so I think it pushed my cycle back a bit. my original due date was march 25th, then based on a 7 week u/s they pinned us at april 10, then based on the 20 week u/s my dd is April 4. I know dd's are estimated and can be 2 weeks off, but I really wish I had just one date to go on. I can't imagine if the 10th is the most accurate and then I went 2 weeks beyond that how I would feel. (I don't think doc would ever let me go that long). I'm ready now!

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?

physically - surprisingly good! I've been a unicorn this pregnancy *knock on wood*. I don't sleep great and have been feeling lousy when I wake up, but as soon as I get moving I feel fine for the rest of the day.

emotionally- so. in. love. with DH and with LO and surrounded by excited family, so very good. very supported.

mentally- good, and better than I expected. last week I was climbing the walls excited to have LO arrive, but now that I'm in the single digits for my countdown I'm pretty zen. I'm comforted that it could happen at any time, and also not sad to go to work because if LO makes it to next Friday that's 2 weeks of extra $ for my maternity leave.

Are you on maternity leave yet? nope. working til the bitter end! haha. I want every day I take off to be one I can spend with my outside baby. plus I'd go crazy at home, and since I feel good why not make some extra $?

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

Sweet- baby, mommy and daddy love you SOOOO much and you aren't even born yet! We can't wait until you get here so we can cuddle you all day long.

Get out- baby, we are ready for your arrival! come whenever you are ready...but don't wait too long

MayKay12 · March 2014

39 weeks + 3 days / due march 29th

Physically I feel pretty miserable. I have lots of hip pain and pelvic pressure. I am also having tons of contractions that lead nowhere. The midwife keeps telling me he is soooo low.

Mentally I am frustrated. I hate the contractions that get me excited and then stop. I'm ready for this to be over and for baby to be here.

I am a sahm so no leave necessary.

AnonymousMotherOfOne · March 2014

When are/were you due? How far along are you?
Due this coming Sunday! Less than a week from right now, maybe sooner, maybe later. 39+2!

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?
Pretty good. Trying to remind myself to breathe through contractions as I sit hooked up to monitors in L&D today.

Are you on maternity leave yet?
Have been since the New Year rang in; my boss hates me. I did not want 12 weeks of mat leave, and she still won't let me come back until after my doc gives the okay after the baby comes.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?
I love you already, little Mia... Your daddy and I are ridiculously excited to meet you! I think he's almost more ready for you to come out than I am!

That being said, can we please either pick it up with the CX, or cease and desist altogether? Mommy doesn't like being hooked up to weird machines, or hospitals, or the hospital's ice chips.

Get out soon, or you're grounded for life. Love, mom.

DTNZ4Ever · March 2014

Good luck end of monthers! Hope your babies come soon!

Kristen61607 · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you? 3/28 - 39w4d

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally? Good for the most part! She'll be here this time tomorrow! RCS scheduled for 8:30am. I'm nervous about the surgery of course. Super emotional with my "big" girls. Trying to distract myself as much as I can to get through these last few hours!

Are you on maternity leave yet? I'm a SAHM

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be? Sweet Abby - Sorry we have to evict you tomorrow! But it's best for both of us at this point. I cannot wait to see your face and see if you look like your sisters. This has been a great 9 months - you were an easy baby to carry compared to your twin sisters! I hope you love the outside world as much as you will be loved by me, daddy, cate and emily!!!!

Grenagh · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you? Due 3/21 so 40+4 today.

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?
Emotionally and mentally doing great. Was a bit panicky a few weeks ago but pretty zen about the whole thing at this point. She'll come when she's ready and I'm enjoying my last few days of being selfish

kmeyers0611 · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?

Due Saturday, I'm at 39 weeks, 3 days

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?

Physically - I'm tired, I keep getting mild headaches and I just am not comfortable in my own skin anymore, but it's not sooo bad.

Emotionally- TIRED, the waiting game is messing with my head, my job sucks ass and I'm under so much pressure right now. I have already ugly cried once today.

Are you on maternity leave yet?

No, but Friday is my last day. THANK YOU JESUS

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

Sweet- Baby, I already love you more than words can say and you are one lucky boy because your daddy is going to be the best daddy in the world.

Get out - Ummm don't get too comfortable in there because you ARE coming out soon whether you like it or not!

pumpkinsmuggler · March 2014

Due Friday - 38w 4d

Feeling pretty good considering. I actually got to take a nap today! Mentally, I'm beyond ready. It's not making me an emotional wreck - I feel calm, just annoyed by the waiting! haha I have nothing to do this week which may be the problem there. There are only so many times I can sweep the floor.

On maternity leave as of this week (work a few evenings a week), and now I'm home with DS all day/night which is great but tiring. I'm trying to stay exciting for him…eehhh

Come out, little love. We are so excited to see your face and snuggle you up!

Come out now, little love…or you will be paying for it when I make you try bras on over your clothes at the mall when you're in the 7th grade.

teachermommy9967 · March 2014

I was due march 21 which makes me 40 weeks 4 days

Physically I am definitely uncomfortable and would love to be able to tie my shoes again but the last couple days I haven't been nearly as tired which is awesome!

Emotionally/mentally I'm really worried that I'm not going to get the VBAC I so desperately want. My dr won't let me go past 41 weeks so I have an induction booked on Friday morning and that kinda scares me...really wanted to go on into labour on my own since that's my best chance at a VBAC. Also I cry at he drop of a hat - stupid hormones my poor hubby doesn't know what to do with me these days

This is my 3rd week off - I'm a teacher so it was easier to finish at march break. Must say it's been nice being home with my 2 yr old twins but work would have been a nice distraction from this waiting game.

"Baby I can't wait to meet you and see who you are and feel your fingers wrap around mine and kiss those little chubby cheeks!! "

"Baby as your big sister (age 2) keeps saying - baby get out!!"

erind0213 · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?

I am due 3/28...

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?
Physically not terribly
Emotionally I am drained
Mentally I am ready for this to be over.

Are you on maternity leave yet?
Not on leave yet... but Friday will likely be my last day.

I am now looking at 3 possibilities... 1. I will go into labor on my own.. soon, 2. I get a final NST Friday, and if fluid is 5 or below I will be sent to Labor and Delivery (it was 6 today so who knows) 3. I will go in for induction Monday night....

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

"I can't wait to meet you my little love" and "Anytime now!! Place to go, things to do!!"

hemeyer31 · March 2014

When are/were you due? How are along are you?

Due 3/27- 39w 5d

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally? Starting to find my "zen" a little bit by keeping my hands busy crocheting and trying to not think about every little cramp and pain and wonder if it's labor coming... But every now and then I throw a "I don't want to be pregnant anymore" tantrum.. Gets the rage out of my system! Soooooo sick of this pregnancy. I'm so excited to meet her, but I'm starting to think it'll be anti-climactic due to the fact that I am SO OVER THIS.

Are you on maternity leave yet?

Yep, just started this week! I really hope she comes so I'm not wasting it looking at the walls..

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

I love you so much ladybug, I can't wait to see you and snuggle you.... However, mommy needs you to get out- don't make me come in there after you!!

akflutterby · March 2014

When are/were you due?
- 3/30

How far are along are you?
- 39+2

How are you feeling?

- physically: Sore mostly. My back doesn't hurt as bad as it was for a while, but the front is an achy mess. Walking is a chore and the heartburn/reflux makes me want to punch people in the face.

- emotionally: Weepy a lot. I've been willing myself to not cry over all the things all the time.

- mentally: Defeated. I have no control over everything and I just have to let things happen (which is so diametrically opposed to the kind of person I am).

Are you on maternity leave yet?

- No, I'm another one of those "waiting 'til the last minute" moms so I can save up my leave and not go too long without pay.

Choose two things to tell your baby

- one sweet/loving: I have been waiting for you and wanting you for so long, and your family cannot wait to meet you and snuggle with you my sweet girl.

- one get out now message: This isn't the best way to start out our mother daughter relationship. You might want to think about that if you decide to stay in your room for too long...

knipper · March 2014

When are/were you due? March 28

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally? Physically, I am fine. There are some pains here and there, but nothing not to be expected when you're carrying around a person 24/7.

Emotionally, I am going BSC! Not because of the pregnancy, but because I still have no furniture! (which we bought in November and a promised delivery date of January 15) Teach me to buy from some family run, Canadian Made, solid wood manufacturer! If I don't get my furniture this week, I'm going after them for fraud.

Also, My dryer broke yesterday. Not broke to the point of completely doesn't work, but parts of it fell out (it's only 2 years old) and it takes three cycles to dry a regular load now... We plan to cloth diaper... I think I need to go find a clothing line and set that up later today.

Are you on maternity leave yet? I'm on VACATION! I have four more days I can use before I have to go into Mat Leave.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

Hey little Buddy, I hope I don't screw you up as much as my Mom did me. At least your Father is normal, and his parents are pretty damn awesome. I'll try to keep you sheltered from my Mom as much as possible. Love you!

I don't really have a get out now message, I just want a date and time to work around, for the dryer repair guy and *hopefully* the furniture delivery...

Natty13umppo · March 2014

Late to this party again, but since I'm still hanging on, I thought I'd chime in...

When are/were you due? March 28 (ticker) or 30 (per doctor)...."this weekend" is the answer I've been giving people.

How are you feeling, physically/emotionally/mentally?

Physically, I am fine except for being stuffy and constantly blowing my nose. Baby or just allergies/cold/sinus issues? Dunno.

Mentally/Emotionally I think I'm at the place where I'm just going to not even think about having this baby anytime soon. Originally, I thought this would be my early baby, but now I think it will be like DD and be quite late. I have an appt tomorrow and I'm sure my doctor and I will talk about how late then...I'm thinking maybe April 8/9/10? We'll see... I'd be scheduling an RCS as opposed to induction.

Are you on maternity leave yet? SAHM....the 2 year old has not slowed down with her demands and has not been doing me the favor of napping either.

Choose two things to tell your baby - one sweet/loving, one get out now message - what would they be?

I really don't mind if you come tomorrow or even 10 days from now....I just wish you could let me know when it would be as my anxiety about when I'm going to go into labor is much higher this time around.
