Yes it is May and I like the idea of a post to GIF away in for these last few weeks. I'd also like to send much love to our BMB mama's who left us too soon and our preemie mom's as well. You salty hoes really are the bestest!
I think the reality is starting to set in, hence why I have been putting off the final things in the nursery because I'm just not ready to be "done" yet.
I feel so unprepared.. I think we could improvise if nothing else got done(send DH to get a RNP while I'm in the hospital, grab some diapers, etc...) but I really wish my showers were over so I could get the stuff I need...
@jshrop summed up my feelings with that gif. But my birthday will come (hopefully) before this LO gets here so that makes me less anxious (not really)
DH on the other hand is SUPER excited that she'll be here in approximately 6 weeks!
26 more days! Woot woot! I'm actually really nervous, this is my third pregnancy but first csection and I've never had any surgery done at all. Plus we still have some work to do in the nursery and get ready for baby. And my youngest is 7! Starting all over again after so many years. But no worries June mommies, we got this!
ETA: Sorry trying to psyche myself up, I really am nervous.
If I think about this too much my nausea gets worse. I have so much shit to get done between now and then it is crazy. Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a procrastinator. X_X
Definitely starting to freak out a little bit, 32 days left! FTM and definitely not feeling prepared, though maybe a little bit ready, if that makes any sense.
I want to gif this, but I feel like the awesomeness of everyone else's will put my newly learned skill to shame, lol.
I am only roughly two week away from when I had DS. So crazy. How in the world will I wrangle two kids in the morning. Please tell me DS will become magically cooperative? (lie to me)

In the words of DH on the way to our last birth class: "I feel like we pretty much know what we're doing with the whole 'getting him out' thing, plus, we'll have a whole team of people there for that. I just want to know what the hell we do when we get home and it's just the two of us with a baby....."
I've learned all I'm going to learn about pregnancy and birth, but I still have no idea WTF to do with a baby. Or a child. Or a teenager. I feel like I've spent all this time studying American History and I just found out my final exam is going to be on Calculus.
Right now the plan is just to wing it, kind of like when we got a puppy. We'll just play with him and feed him and take care of his poops and pees and google any questions we have....right? I am so not prepared for this...
I slept pretty well last night, so this morning I was feeling good and all "OMG, I only have 6 weeks left! This is going to fly by and then I'll have a baby!".
But after sitting in my office chair all day and being busy, my back is now hurting, I'm exhausted, and the prospect of having to sit in my L&D class for 3 hours tonight is depressing....so now I'm all "Fuck...I still have to do this for 6 more weeks! It's going to take for.ev.er."
@yellowbird219 Definitely! With how uncomfortable pregnancy can be, it's easy to forget that 'normal' discomfort and pains are a blessing. As always, my thoughts are with our lovely ladies who are struggling, and our miracle outside babies!
C throws a fit and I wonder why the hell I'm doing this again. Then she behaves like an angel and is super cute and snuggly and I know totally why I'm doing it. Then (because I'm an AW), she does this with a baby doll, and I worry for Charlie's safety...

That's pretty much my plan. I figure I have two things I have to do right off: feed her and put her safely in the car seat. I am capable of cuddling. Diapers are for our convenience, babies are probably happy without them, so screwing up a diaper change won't hurt her. The pediatrician will tell me key things. My OB always tells me that "millions of people do this all the time, and you are no different," and I choose to believe that
Re: We're in the Home Stretch!
And there is still so much to do in the nursery.

I know I will be insanely jealous when y'all start posting pics of your little ones because frankly:
Really, it's just that:
We can handle this ladies. We all have the:
Even though I have 2 teens, this is how I feel
But at the same time I'm all
And then I realize what I have left to do and how many days
And then
