End of August going a little crazy

nakoppel · July 2015

I feel like I keep seeing everyone posting about having their babies, and I'm over here due 8/28 like :-w the waiting is probably going to kill me!!!! I want him to bake as long as possible and come when he is damn well ready. But I already have friends texting and messaging me saying they can't wait etc and I'm like gee wonder how that must feel. I also have a friend who JUST entered her second trimester and keeps basically saying she can relate to how I feel. I know she is trying to be nice but honey when you are at the end you will understand why you saying that makes me crabby. You are not huge yet, you have done this through a ridiculously hot NC summer, and you are not riddled with BH and cramping that at every turn makes you go 'wait is this real or no no it's probably not. But wait it totally could be remember that girl on the bump who had cramps and had her baby like 3 hours later!? I should call no I shouldnt...' Continuing in that vein for 30 mins.... I'm blabbering..../end vent before this gets more ridiculous and disorganized. Sorry my craziness but thank you ladies for reading/listening.

I'm also due the 28th! Waiting is so hard.. especially with 10 new birth announcements and "my water broke" posts a day! Seeing everyone's LO's makes me want to get this show on the road! It will be our time soon..

toccoaparker · July 2015

That was my due date before they planned my induction, which is still three weeks away so I feel your pain! It will be here before you know it:)

hcook321 · July 2015

I totally feel your pain! Due 8/24 and it doesn't help either that hubs keeps telling me he feels like I'm going 2 weeks early (based on absolutely nothing)... Grrrr!

Kwest1007 · July 2015

I'm due 8/29 so I get it!! My whole pregnancy I was like oh I can wait. I wouldn't mind if she's late (I love being pregnant!!) but now, I'm barely sleeping, I'm so excited and anxious! Let's hope this month goes by quickly!! N let's hope the weather gods give us a break soon!!

nakoppel · July 2015

@laylababe3 due date twins!!!!! Also my Step daughters name is layla ^_^. @hcook321 my hubsand and all our friends and my family keep saying 'no way you are making it to your due date' -_- based on nothing!!!! Such a tease! @Kwest1007 YES I never minded waiting until I hit like 33/34 weeks then I just became sooo done. Also I start school September 1st so this baby HAS to be on time.

visualcircus · July 2015

Due 8/30 but have a hunch its a September baby.

I like reading about everyone's experiences and the questions that come up.. in my mind that makes me feel a teeny bit more prepared than otherwise. Waiting is hard since I finished the baby to do list.. so I'm just kicking back and relaxing now.

prpl11butterfly · July 2015

If Im correct about my date of conception (dh and i were activly trying and i was tracking my cycles and *tmi alert* monitoring my discharge for 5 months), I would be "due" tomorrow. LMP due date is 8/1 but after an early ultrasound its 8/6 and I'm still going crazy! Its sooo close. But, being a ftm I'm probably going to be late. The excessive cramping is only making me more anxious and doc saying "see you next week, if your still pregnant" is giving me high hopes (I know better but cannot make the wishful thinking stop!). I would love to tell you it gets easier as it gets closer, but that would be a lie and I don't want to lie to you!

Bickey11 · July 2015

I'm also due the 28th and am like SHUT UP.

Thinking for joining the Sept club, so i can feel like i'm winning something!

jadetree1080 · July 2015

I'm due the 28th also. I'm more active in the August mom's board, but I lurk in September cuz it could really go either way. At least it makes you feel like your not behind. So yeah, I get it, I'm over this too. Try to focus on spending some quality alone time with your partner or friends. Or just quiet time with yourself... Whatever personal hobbies or activities you enjoy that you may not be able to do for a while with a newborn. Go see a movie, cook a fancy dinner, go see some live music... Whatever floats your boat. Just might make thigs more plesant while you wait.

angelargrock · July 2015

Hey, I'm due August 31st - which is some sick joke - & I'm going crazy over here. I've had a couple of scares this past month but she's intent on staying in there! Which I'm happy about! I would much rather she stay in there for a month than have to stay in the NICU for a week. I WAS on the September board but I like this board MUCH MUCH better. So I've come to stay, either way. Of course, if she wants to come just a week early, that'd be marvelous....but we're so close now & im getting incredibly anxious that I don't have anything ready that I think I actually need this month to calm myself down!

saroos3137 · July 2015

I'm due 8/26, and, physically, I'm so ready to get this baby out! All of these adorable pictures of everyone's babies are making me so anxious to have my LO here! But I also have a lot to finish up before then (freezer meals, washing baby's clothes/bedding, etc.), and I am trying to enjoy my last few weeks with DS as an only child. When I think of it as "We only have 4 weekends left before baby's due date..." it seems like there's no time left to do everything we want to.

nakoppel · July 2015

Today I've just been so crampy and Braxton hicksy it makes me wonder if he's going to make an early arrival. I have my 36 week appointment in a few hours so I plan to ask. I've been having painless contractions since 2am but I HIGHLY doubt it's indictive of anything

Ambermom043 · July 2015

Am I the only one who is totally okay with waiting the last couple weeks out? Lol. I'm in no hurry to push her fat little head through my lady parts!;p I know it has to be done eventually, but once LO is here, she's here forever, so I'm soaking up the last bit of "single time" with hubby for now!

907_baby · July 2015

@angelargrock

I'm due Aug 31st too, I feel your pain...it is a sick joke. Between BH, which are always, and the anticipation of meeting her, I feel like I need to take up a major hobby to distract myself. But getting my son ready to start kindergarten in a couple weeks is going to have to be my "hobby" for now. There isn't enough energy for much more than that. I just keep reminding myself that she will come when she is ready, and it will he great! Not trying to induce a NICU stay over here.

Miz_Liz · July 2015

Each time I get anxious I remind myself that while I may be getting up to pee a million times per night, I am still getting more sleep than most moms with a newborn. I also remind myself about how hard it is at first trying to get the baby acclimated and trying to BF, etc. and this time I have a toddler in the mix too. So while I am very anxious to meet my little girl (especially since I got pregnant immediately after a M/C without getting my period inbetween, so I literally feel like I am a few months overdue at this point!), I am also trying to enjoy my last few weeks before she gets here and rocks our world. All of our babies will be here before we know it and life will never be the same again

mommyofX · July 2015

I'm also due August 28th! (Never realized how many there was of us!) I totally feel ur pain! There are so many mommas having their babies already and it's not even August!! And the flood of babies are just going to increase more and more. Which I'm so happy for them!... Just a little jealous lol..And it almost feels like in those movies when kids are picking side for a game and one kid is the last one picked..lol. I've stopped working and have 97% of my list done. My bag is packed and everything. So all I do is lay around(FTM) and read the bump or different articles, books or watch birthing videos, to try to prepare as much as I can. I'm soooo ready in every way possible. I just need my boy to be ready. 2 ultrasounds we got we saw him sucking on his toes, so in my mind, his sucking function should be good. They said his size is bigger than where he should be, so hopefully he'll be able to regulate his own body temp.. So I'm just praying whenever he does come his lungs will be perfect and he won't need nicu for anything. As u can see all I do is obsess over him coming. I'm just TOO DAMN EXCITED! I want my boy to be here (but super healthy)

Aug 28 mommas we should message each other to check in and help each other not go crazy waiting the next 3/4 weeks. Obviously making another post would get annoying to everyone else.

nininou19 · July 2015

Omg guys I am due 8/27 and I am also going crazy !!! I am ok being pregnant and stuff but it's very long and I just want to be done now. And all these posts about everyone having babies are making me crazy lol. Anyways we have to stick together it makes the wait easier... End of august power

CaliforniaDream87 · July 2015

I'm due 8/21 and nope. Not going crazy. As a STM, I'm enjoying the peace right now.

Patience is a virtue right now

j&gmiller2015 · July 2015

I'm due 8/29...I'm trying to take everyone's advice and enjoy my few last non-baby weeks. I keep busy with work, getting the nursery ready, washing all her little clothes and blankets, and just trying to relax. It is hard though, I'm ready for her to be here. My husband and I try to do inside date nights (it's over 100 here most days) rent Redbox movies, get fast food, and enjoy our time together. I've been telling myself if I could just make it to August I would be ok!

Bickey11 · July 2015

I wouldn't be so anxious if I weren't so uncomfortable. I don't remember feeling this way the last time around, maybe because i was in my 20's instead of my LATE 30's. I'm driving hubby nuts keeping him up all night with all my discomfort. Baby loves to kick and fight all night long while i'm trying to sleep. Sitting at work right now NOT working because he's pushing his limbs into my organs and bones and it hurts too bad to do anything that requires concentration!

desertmama2 · July 2015

August 27 here and so glad to see I'm not the only one with FOMO

heath3er · July 2015

I am also due the 28th! Ladies we are not alone.. We will have to start a post about us.. The last ones of august

Jenni329 · July 2015

I'm due 29th August. Last day at work tomorrow and really looking forward to not having to roll myself out of the house early every morning. Also moving house so having to pack every thing up which I quite enjoy doing. Getting quite uncomfortable but still quite enjoying the miracle that this is actually happening to us.

j&gmiller2015 · July 2015

ashbash1012 · July 2015

Scheduled csection on the 28th. Due the 31st! I can TOTALLY relate.

Gooblin · July 2015

I'm due Aug. 27. I hit my goal weight for birth 2 weeks ago and so I'm trying sooo hard to watch what I eat!! I've had my last 2 babies go 2 weeks over so my midwife has me on all sorts of stuff so I've been having very uncomfortable contractions and BH so I'm praying I can just come on my due date if not a little before!! I have loads to do to fill my time so time's still going quickly even though everything hurts and I'm feeling very tapped out right about now. Thank God for kids and a husband who give great foot/back rubs!!

hjhaller · July 2015

I'm also due the 28th! I want my girl to bake as long as possible too but I understand the frustration! I'm sick of everyone saying "not long now". 4 weeks is long. I think the summer heat is making me lose my mind. At least we know we are not alone! You ladies on this board rock!

^this my hubby keeps saying 'so soon' it's not that soon buddy!!!! According to my midwife I'm having real contractions they just don't mean anything yet -_-

archetypeblonde · July 2015

Due 8/30! Now that I'm finally off bedrest (29 weeks until 35), my body doesn't even function anymore. Impatience and anxiety are at an all time high right now. I would seriously side eye anyone in their second tri saying "me too!" I feel you OP!

It annoys me so much when she does that!!!!! I just keep saying 'just wait until you're at the ass end'

breezymeema7 · July 2015

I'm due on the 21st and I go back and forth. On one hand, I can't wait to meet my little girl and not be pregnant anymore. The other hand, life with a newborn and 2 toddlers scares the ever living you know what out of me.

HarleenQuinz86 · July 2015

I'm due the 24th and can't wait for him to arrive but then would be ok if he waited. I want him to come when he is ready. Preferably before my DD 9th birthday on August 29! Lol

Awigg14 · July 2015

I'm due August 27th and I'm getting so jealous of all of these early August due dates and birth announcements!! We got to see my little ones squishy little face on the ultrasound today and that made it so much harder realizing I still have a few more weeks to go

LittleFox2015 · July 2015

Im august 24th and while I want him fully baked and ready, i am so done with feeling bloated and dealing with people asking if im miserable yet. And honestly i look slightly like a hairless orangutan.

laylababe3 · July 2015

Lol

My son turns 9 on sept 5, hoping this one doesn't wait that long.

Gooblin · July 2015

One of my sons turns 7 on the 8/12 and is begging for me to have baby on his birthday! Lol

meli1112 · July 2015

My due date is 8/29, but I have a csection scheduled for 8/24 (unless something happens before that). These next three+ weeks are going to fly by, but at least I have an idea about how much time I have left to get everything done. Hang in there ladies, we can do this!!!

shihtzufan · July 2015

I'm due August 31st and am completely ready... Just waiting on LO to be completely ready too.

This!!! I'm due on the 28th too. Doc sent us to L&d yesterday after our appointment because the little man decided we were getting bored and needed something to do, and why not scare us into a nonstress test?! Little monster!
