38 weeks and can't believe I'm having a baby

I am 38 weeks with my first and I keep going in and out of these bouts where I can't wrap my head around the fact that I am going to have a baby... It's not that I'm nervous, I just keep forgetting that in a couple of weeks I am actually going to have a small baby in my arms.. I mean in a couple of weeks my whole life is going to be something completely new and different. It's insane how fast 9 months can fly by and now I'm only a few weeks away....

  • Haha I guess it just never fully hits you!
  • DSD gets it more than I do. She comes in all the time and says now youre going to be a mommy!!
  • It's unreal! In the back of my mind I had this lingering doubt I was even pregnant near the beginning... I thought surely they were mistaken!

    Something we have been waiting for is about to happen and it's hard to wrap my mind around it.

    I feel the exact same way!
  • Me too... I was eating breakfast this morning when I looked at my bump app on my phone and it said 1 week 5 days to go.... I almost quit eating from the sheer shock that hit me. Omg I'm so not ready for this... And yet I am at the same time!

    I feel the same way! FTM and 38 weeks this Saturday. I keep thinking that I have 9 months left! It's a weird mix of emotions!
  • I feel the same way. It hits me in waves. I keep forgetting that I am so huge right now because there is a BABY in me! When did this happen? I have four days left!
  • I feel the same exact way! I feel like I have been pregnant forever but at the same time it has gone by so fast. I'm being induced next Thursday for medical reasons and I cannot believe that I will have a baby in my arms next week :-O
  • I felt the same exact way. The first time I looked at him, one of my first thought was "holy crap, that was the baby I just saw on the ultrasound screen a few hours ago?!" I couldn't wrap my head around that he was an actual baby! I still look at him and think..wow..I can't believe this is my baby. It is an amazinggggg feeling. All the STMs were right, you can't even put it into words. :)
    Always hold on to hope ❤

    I knew I wasn't the only one.. It's just such a strange feeling you can't even put into words.. I can't wait until my little one is here

    I totally agree...I still forget that I am actually pregnant sometimes (unless he moves, I walk pass the mirror, pee frequently or have to roll over in bed)  and my baby will make his debut shortly!! It still seems unreal, yet AMAZINGLY surreal in an awesome way! In a few short weeks, I will be able to kiss the face of the little baby that I sing to in my belly...
  • Totally agree with all posters!

    I think for hubby and I the real surreal moment will be seeing what we've created for the very first time. For all I've imagined the moment (and I've imagined the birth process a lot throughout the pregnancy!) my mind just can't process it! I can't wrap my head around the fact that a little person that's half me exists!

    And i can't wait for him to be able to hold her...he's been so involved and excited throughout the pregnancy and can't wait to be a dad, it makes me more desperate for the day to come!
