FTM's - how are you spending your last days of "freedom"?

This is what I'm doing ...

LoveOBX630 · June 2014

Being completely bored. We got everything ready and good to go a couple weeks ago. My swelling and back pain/contractions have been keeping me up all night so I've been laying around. I wish we had a pool that I could go float in! The only ones we have near by are public and swarming with the kids from the elementary school I work at so....no thanks

You look great by the way!

potterybygrace · June 2014

Thank you @LoveOBX630‌. Trying to relieve my swollen feet in this heat!

LoveOBX630 · June 2014

I hear you!!! I think I may have to soak mine in ice water this evening. They haven't gone down at all since Thursday, which is unusual. They usual deflate a little at night. Thinking it's the heat....

Laying on the couch and trying to sleep as much as I can before that's a thing of the passed. I wish I had a pool though it's almost 100 out everyday here in south west Tx and I have no desire to go outside whatsoever.

babyglo350 · June 2014

We have been going out for fancy dinners and afternoon strolls. Just enjoying each other before our family of 2 becomes a family of 3.

^^WSS. Idk about you, but I'm actually EXCITED to be having babies. I could care less about my "freedom."

CrysW08 · June 2014

By walking a lot and trying to stay as active as possible to hopefully inspire this baby to come out on her own.

elsa1688 · June 2014

I'm getting restless and feel like I have run out of things to do

Freedom? There is no freedom, I am trapped in this body that hurts to move.

Dharmatron · June 2014

Trying to get everything done! My husband insists that we go see Godzilla before the baby comes so we'll be doing that tomorrow. I wish I had a pool though! I thought about buying one of those $25 blow-up ones and sitting in my backyard, but once I get in there, I don't think I'll be able to get myself out.

JulieSmiles · June 2014

I'm cleaning my entire house and trying to walk this thing out of me. I'm ready for her to be here and would give up my freedom in a heartbeat at this point.

This. Besides going for walks and going out to eat I'm just bored and waiting. I wish I had a pool to go float in!

erey86 · June 2014

We've been spending our last weekend as a family of four at the movies, park, Chuck e cheese, swimming and lots of ice cream!!

Enjoying J14's Ian Somehalder obsession by binge watching Vampire Diaries.

@Tdonatoni‌ that is exactly what I did before I had DD1. I watched every episode of vampire diaries on Netflix and laid on the couch in my underwear haha.

ElTrain5 · June 2014

My house is still under construction, and almost certainly still will be when baby comes (unless I go over). So I've just been trying to keep things remotely organized and clean. I can only function in 20 min bursts of energy though before I'm buried in pillows trying to find a position that doesn't hurt to lie down in. That and still working full time. I wish lounging was an option right now. Id be right there in that pool with ya.

CherSomething · June 2014

I slept in a lot today before that becomes a thing of the past. Other than that it's the usual. Lots and lots of school assignments. Can't get this paper written today about media and globalization. I'm falling behind when I need to be working ahead.

coffee89 · June 2014

This past weekend was full of baby shower, a baptism and a birthday cookout so I'm taking the next few days to just put my house into some kind of functioning order (slowly), finishing up baby shopping, and starting to plan our move. Plus tons of relaxing since I can't seem to do anything for more than 10 minutes without pain or needing a nap.

jwarnerb · June 2014

Finalizing baby stuffs, sleeping when I can and trying not to freak the F out!

Oh- we are also going to go movies this week and will probably have a nice anniversary date if baby doesn't come by next Tuesday.

mercy0606 · June 2014

Still getting ready for our little one with some ice cream and relaxing in between! Would love to go to a pool- will have to work on that this week!! Great idea.

jenlynne0624 · June 2014

@tdonatoni

that sounds like a fabulous way to spend the day after my dr appointment tomorrow. add in some ice cream and this dumb online class I need to finish and it sounds like heaven.

If this photo is ops, I feel like the effort it took to take the pic like that shows a new level of need to aw bare belly pics.

This exactly. I can't move.

I'm in this same camp. We went to the mall and watched a movie. I was so uncomfortable I couldn't enjoy it. Then went to the grocery store and about freaked out my hips hurt so bad and H was being a slow man. I started crying when we got home because of how pathetic I feel.

I wanted get things done but I'm on the couch trying to alleviate my swelling, pain in my hips, acid reflux and the nausea that I now have. On the bright side, H rearranged my living room and is now organizing the guest room. By the sounds of it I might have holes in my walls..he's getting rough in there.

Pepper6 · June 2014

My 'freedom' has been spent trying to end my freedom by walking as much as I can. I want this baby out!

texasmama2014 · June 2014

I'm working 10-12 hour days until I go into labor. Bring on the freedom of maternity leave!!!

Not gonna lie, as long as the momma is actually wearing clothes (i.e. shirt and pants/skirt NOT a bikini or just underwear) I have no problem with bare bump pics. Its a truly accurate representation of the size of the bump, whereas a pattern on a shirt or dress can make the bump look bigger or smaller.

Hmm maybe i can remember that for the next UO or FFFC! (Lmao SURE.....)

Edit cuz i suck at typing

bumpuser9343355 · June 2014

I certainly don't feel very free what with NSTs every day and constantly worrying about when Baby is going to get here, but I'm spending most of my time on the couch relaxing. Trying to sleep as much as I can and count down the hours till I am holding my little one!

erikaleighh · June 2014

I'm working my regular 50 hrs/week driving between 2 locations, scrubbing the house down, washing all of baby's stuff, and hosting the in-laws on an air matress in the baby's room during the weekends as we attempt to finish our house and garage. I can't WAIT for maternity leave!!!!!

BMaidPlanner · June 2014

I'm so incredibly sick and congested. Surrounded by a messy house that i am too exhausted to clean and desperate for real meds that aren't safe for baby.

Holy shit, every day? And I thought once a week was bad enough.... I've been trying to clean around my house when and what I can, but as moving is starting to at least feel nigh impossible, I've mainly been at the computer or watching netflix....

kd&cd · June 2014

I'm done with the "freedom". I'm bored out of my mind!!!

In the last 2 weeks I've cleaned my entire house (top to bottom), dbl checked the hospital bags way too many times, cleaned out both our freezers, watched all of Downton Abbey from the beginning, finished the 3 pregnancy books I started PLUS started and finished 1 out of 2 "Babys first year" books that I picked up on Thursday.

I would love to be floating in a pool...esp if the floating included a pina colada (mmmmm can't wait to have one), so I'm jealous of that!

I'm ready for my little lady to get here already!!!
