Same, same, and same! Definitely a roller coaster...

Krysta6 · July 2015

I'm feeling overwhelmed! I keep thinking about labor and delivery and the having a baby to take care of! I think that is why I'm not getting a lot of sleep. I know we will be prepared intellectually but emotionally I'm freaking out!

Roller coaster. My four year likes to hit every emotion in five minutes with me. I need a break or a day to decompress. I'm trying hard to get stuff done so I can have tomorrow free to do just that.

MirandaC1984 · July 2015

This may sound completely selfish but it hit me the other day that in 16 weeks DH and I will never be the same. Our relationship is about to change dramatically. After 9 years together it terrifies me. I'm so excited to meet our son but this last bit of time we have as a family of two feels so precious. I just want to soak it in.

gabrielafrnqyepez · July 2015

overwhelmed yes!!!! total rollercoaster !!!..... @mrsdhouse89 my 7 yr old does the same he manages to say things that im like ahhhhhhh %-( ....enough! @MirandaC1984 no not selfish i totally get what you mean DH and i have been together for 6 yrs but DS isnt biologically his...somehow it feels like were having a baby for the first time he has fathered my son in every other way possible but now it seems like a lil bit of us will be going away. @Krysta6 labor and delivery is also freaking me out ...the not being able to plan for it down to the last detail is killing me im such a planner, with this being by second child the element i miss the most is that of not knowing, honestly!.. @rm0nique up down left right my mind goes all over the place!

MandahGirly · July 2015

I can't wait until everything doesn't make me want to dissolve into a puddle of tears at any moment....but I have a feeling that might not go away for a while yet...Also I feel like while having a baby is something that I have been wanting for awhile I've only gotten that "holy $h!t I'm going to be a mom soon and have to be responsible for another human life" once or twice so far.

gabrielafrnqyepez · July 2015

@MandahGirly .... watching tv is the worse because i cant really control my moods everything on makes me cry, i got that holy woahh feeling when i saw the tread about counting down and i have 105 days left thats nttn!!!!!

baconlady · July 2015

My husband is a procrastinator as well . I'm the planner and want stuff done asap. So of course I'm panicking while he's cool as a cucumber about everything . I've been dying to paint baby nursery but will have to wait until he gets back from his work trip mid August.

boo! I was going through a list of all the stuff we still need and immediately got overwhelmed too.

gabrielafrnqyepez · July 2015

@baconlady its sooooo frustrating i've bought what i could so far but for some things he wants me to wait im all impatient it drives me nuts...but on his defense his way usually seems to workout better then when i rush .. go figure!

xxymxxg · July 2015

I feel the same way. I get happy when I feel her move then I freak out and worry when I don't. Then I get stressed with thinking about how I'm almost 7 months pregnant and the only thing we have bought is maybe 12 items of clothing and that's it. I also feel frustrated with my SO because I feel like he is so carefree and doesn't realize that the baby is going to be here in less than 100 days and we don't have anything!! Then I get emotional because I don't feel sexy enough. I'm just a hot mess sometimes.

I can usually keep my emotions to myself and deal with them but lately EVERYTHING makes me cry, happy crys, sad crys, frustrated crys! Im surprised I'm not dehydrated with the amount of tears I have. My poor husband must think I'm crazy, he's doing his best and is usually soo supportive but it really can't be easy lol.

Louisl · July 2015

@MirandaC1984 your comment really hit home for me. I hadn't really been thinking about that aspect but you're so right. We've been together almost 11 years so I know exactly what you mean. You get so used to/really love the dynamic of just the two of you (and for us, two cats and three chickens

.

anelalii · July 2015

I feel the same way as some of you ladies. I feel totally unprepared and dh isn't worried at all. We're staying with my parents until we find our own place, and I'm stressing because we are getting close to the deadline I set for us to find a place. We can't seem to find anything that isn't ridiculously expensive or there are income restrictions and dh makes too much. Dh keeps saying it's all going to work out, and I know he'll make it happen. I just don't want it all to happen last minute!

casserole27 · July 2015

Very overwhelmed, emotional and stressed. We have this small basement apartment with no space it frustrates me that I don't feel like I have a place to prepare for the baby. I also feel like I don't know what I am doing with anything and worry about being a new mom in a few short months. Aside from beong pregnant theres a lot of other things going on and time is going by a little too fast for me. I cry daily and it's always about the most random things. Yesterday was exceptionally difficult, it started when I cried over not wanting to eat what we had for dinner and then had breakdowns periodically through the entire night for various reasons (some more sound than others). I know people don't like to blame hormones but I need to believe they are taking some part in all this nonsense. Because if this is all me than I am a crazy person.

realmamma · July 2015

I feel definitely emotional and like im on a roller dh is a cool cucumber when it comes to getting things for our baby's arrivial but me on the other hand is freaking out because hes in the military and soon hes going to b gone for a week at a time. Which has me stressed cause we have the big items left (car seat, swing, stroller) I worry that im going to b getting those things when I am in labor. But I trust him and his way always works so I have to put my emotions out of it and trust my dh to get stuff done.

babykitcat · July 2015

Today everything has made me want to cry. We had a BBQ last night and it was such a great time but I told DH that I didn't want people sticking around to late (he completely agreed). People ended up staying later then I expected and I reminded DH to nicely ask people to leave around midnight...I went to bed (people had been over since 3, I did a ton of prep and cooking for it and visited for like 10 hours) people still resistedto leave so I texted DH to kick them out...at this time I was hormonal, emotional, tired, frustrated and just feeling sorry for myself that I couldn't have a glass of wine and partake in the fun...I was missing the feeling of not being pregnant and having a few drinks, I was missing everything that I haven't been able to do for 7 months now and well the tears haven't stopped since. People did leave shortly after the text reminder but it almost made me more sad that I was such a emotional mess. We also talked today that our sex life hasn't been the same and I cried, we had sex and I cried (hid in the bathroom because I couldn't even handle it) had a shower and I cried and now I'm laying on the couch exhausted from crying, craving theater popcorn and could almost cry because I'm to lazy to do anything about it.

Wow haha anyone else feel as crazy as me?!

gabrielafrnqyepez · July 2015

@babykitcat ....o momma i totally agree! ive had those days , just today i was sooooo mad DH changed plans to take us all to the beach and he had a good reason ( the car needs cooler and oil change , and the beach we go to is about hr away). i cried like a baby. i sometimes wake up mad at DH for no reason an i cry and cry w full force and just like that it luckily does go away, i hope you feel better

@MirandaC1984, I remember feeling the same way before we had DD. DH wouldn't have admitted it, but I think he was pretty scared about what was to come because he didn't have many friends who had kids yet either. We are very social and active people, so I think we both had a hard time imagining what it might be like to have to find someone to watch her if we wanted to go out or how our time with just the two of us might change if we had a little one with us all the time. I will tell you what, when your LO arrives and you see your DH become a father, your marriage will change. You know how you love your husband more now than you did when you met 9 years ago? It's that kind of change. Becoming a parent with someone you love is literally THE BEST.

I definitely understand the soaking it in part, too, because I'm spending the last few months of pregnancy soaking in time with DD and DH as a family of three before we add another. I never want to forget how sweet she is and how little and loving and all of that good stuff. Each stage brings with it a bit of sadness as you shift to the next, but I am so excited to see DD become a big sister and DH have another child to love and nurture. It's awesome.

Really resonated with me. I've worked 65-80 hrs/ week since we got married 4 years ago and in preparation for our baby boy (who we already love dearly and CANNOT wait to meet) I've finally gotten into a good and "normal" work situation and am the least stressed I've been since I can remember and have had time to actually have a conversation with my husband every day beyond "Hi, I'm home, my day sucked, I'm going to bed." It's been so nice to actually feel married for the first time in a very long time opposed to the never ending marathon. It's kind of a bitter sweet feeling. I guess we just need to savor this last stretch of time as much as possible!

I know what you mean! I'll be 29 weeks on Thursday so last night I was looking ahead to see what fruit I'll be but after I turn 29 weeks there's only 2 fruits left and I immediately felt sad. Idk why. Its so ridiculous lol

MandahGirly · July 2015

I failed my 1 hour glucose test

I knew it was coming but I was still upset and I still cried. I think it's the prospect of having to have my blood drawn 4 times and not being able to eat for what seems like forever is really upsetting me.
