OMG! It's almost here!

laujam31 · December 2016

Sh!t!!!! I still have so much to do!!!!!!!!!!! lol anyone else starting to panic? Meeting our baby girl is 3 weeks and 4 days away!!!!!!

MamaandNurse · December 2016

I don't think I'm going to go all the way to her due date but we'll see. Mama's intuition says maybe another two weeks. Not to mention the ridiculous pressure in my vag at the moment.

But I'm not freaking out. I'm excited! I'm so ready for someone else to be able to hold this baby.

Kurtni · December 2016

I am a little bit. Everyone else has fingers crossed baby will come a week or two early and I'm like nah, let him go to 41. Mommy has shit to do.

hayhay2501 · December 2016

I'm just kind of living in denial... 36 weeks now so I have time to go but it's all pretty surreal!

myriamc96 · December 2016

I'm 36 weeks, but they've been telling me since 32 weeks that he could be here any day, so at this point I feel like I'm gunna be pregnant forever... But then again I've been pregnant for 18 months out of the past 2 years, (my son's will be 11-12 months apart) so I've been over being pregnant long before I found out I was pregnant with this LO.

ccarrozza1 · December 2016

I am ready to go. well not ready in terms of setting up my space yet - still have not packed bag etc. But I am physically exhausted and want to have my body back for real. I know I won't have my boobs back right away but at least I can get the rest back. I am still working and my parents keep pressuring me to stop. I am not freelance like I was last time. I don't think they understand how this works...

laujam31 · December 2016

@myriamc96 I hear you. This is my 3d in less than 4 years. I've had it!!!!!

Teach123 · December 2016

I'm ready to be done. There's still stuff to do around the house, but it'll get done with baby here too. We have the basics that we need. Momma is ready to be done being pregnant and having children.

canavara · December 2016

I'm starting to get nervous in the "am I ready for this?" sense but I feel like I must be some sort of anomaly because I'm in no rush to get the baby out. If he stays put for another 1-2 weeks, I'll be happy. I just want to enjoy these next couple of weeks of being done with work for a while but still having a little "me time" before baby duty begins. I'm sure if he goes past his due date by more than a couple of days, I'll be singing a different song entirely, but otherwise...

mrskimm09 · December 2016

Its so crazy. My scheduled c section is 12.27! Its 9 days away. NINE!

MaryNog · December 2016

Depends on the day! Sometimes I feel really at peace, ready to have this baby, and confident in my and my husband's ability to raise her. Others are the complete opposite and I lose sleep worrying over a million things, such as "what if my family is super nosy and critical of how I'm raising my child," "how will I balance work and parenthood," "what if my kid is a total dick?"

edited because autocorrect sucks

colleenkevin · December 2016

I'm due 1/3 so I know he might come at any time now, but I'm not overly anxious for him to be here. He dropped the other day and, while my hips and pelvis are feeling a ton more pressure, overall I'm more comfortable than when he was high up and in my ribs. Now that I have a little more breathing room (literally!) I'm kind of hoping he'll hang in until at least his due date.

askerrysmile · December 2016

I'm ready! I can't wait to meet him and soak it all in. Pregnancy has gone on for a long time. I hope he comes early. 3 or more weeks of waiting sounds unpleasant.

therealfrizzle · December 2016

I'm so ready. Mostly, I want to start maternity leave now (working until Dec. 30th and due date is 1/1!) But I am so ready to meet this kid! And since we've been team green, I am more anxious than ever to know what baby is!

laufisch · December 2016

I'm pretty much ready now, my hips hurt almost constantly, my back is killing me and I keep having like hours at a time where I feel like I'm about to get my period.

The only reason I'm hoping he holds out another week is I want his birthday to be after Christmas. But honestly I'm caring less and less about this every day.

serah-2 · December 2016

@laujam31- YES! Agreed. I'm a first time mom, and though I'm super uncomfortable being this prego, I'm a bit terrified. Labor sounds scary, being responsible for a kid sounds scary (don't get me wrong, super excited and it sounds awesome, just scary!). I'm super looking forward to some homebound "nesting" time with the hubs and kiddo after it all goes down though. But yeah, its a lot to take in!

stumptownmama · December 2016

Yep. This is me right now. Total panic. 3 weeks left for me too.

andrawrmeda2 · December 2016

I'm ready. I did like this pregnancy better than my sons lol but I'm ready to not have to push him off my stomach every 2 seconds cause he doesn't understand. But at the same time I really want to wait as long as possible simply cause our apartment is super cramped now. And we aren't looking to buy a house til after tax time comes

I would rather rent one, but SO is pretty bent on finally buying one, even though we both wanna move in like 5 years. So we'll see what happens I guess!

wpowell · December 2016

I've been freaking out for the last week about not being ready yet. I want to clean my whole house before she comes. I did however get a lot done this past weekend so now i'm not feeling as far behind but i still have a few things i want to do before LO arrives.

Kurtni · December 2016

Used my completion discount on Amazon and got everything else we needed. Got an awesome deal on the car seat I wanted too. Amazon marked it down since I added it to my registry, plus 15% off on top of that! So material wise I feel ready to go. Emotionally is a roller coaster still.

ceclarlinetlo · December 2016

We are good as far as baby supplies go. We have some pictures to hang up in the nursery but it's otherwise organized and clean. I'm getting my car seat installed tomorrow and I need to finish our hospital bags and then we are all set. But as uncomfortable as I am I am not ready to have him outside yet. I don't want to share him with anyone lol.

Smhall3 · December 2016

4 weeks here, fed up with the carpal tunnel though so wouldn't mind a slightly early arrival!! Not to mention i want to meet this little munchkin! Washed clothes blankets and sheets last night, DH was cracking up and at the same time freaking out about how tiny his little socks are!

LBLQ84 · December 2016

So excited for all you early January ladies! Still have 6 weeks to go over here! Going to be exciting to watch all these babies being born though, at least we end of the month moms will have some entertainment

kaytastic25 · December 2016

I keep waking up at 3 am wide awake (heartburn, hungry, gotta pee, ect) so I'm up for the day after that. It's safe to say I'm physically and mentally prepared for baby #2. My body has been training me on lack of sleep for weeks. Haha so I'm READY. I have almost 4 weeks still though.

Bubblesstarr2 · December 2016

It is sad that I have to get all the way out off the tall bed that we have to comfortably flip from my left side to my right to get comfortable. Lol. I have 19 days left til due date. I know it's my first but yes I'm done.

hjmorgan-2 · December 2016

I am ready, but nervous... lol. We have most of what we need. It's the "I didn't think/forgot about that!" Moments that make me worry.

And labor.... I wasn't nervous about labor until the last couple weeks. I'm almost 36 weeks... so I know it's getting close!

milozmommy · December 2016

2weeks and 5 days till I meet my boys. I am in so much agony carrying these two. Lol.. I see the specialist on Thursday so he's going to determine the exact day of cesarean but it will most likely be at 37 weeks since I'm carrying twins who share the same placenta. It's dangerous to keep them in longer

aishmc · December 2016

I'm ready since I'm so uncomfortable, but nervous about getting things done around the house. I keep washing everything!

I'm also getting terrified of labor. I'm a control freak and am not sure how I'll handle it.

mjschenk · December 2016

I am not ready at all I have to go through clothes

lol, back around weeks 30-34 I watched all the labor videos and was like, "pffft you can do this--you know all the coping techniques and women have been doing this for ages." Now that there is less than 2 weeks from d-day, I've forbidden myself from watching any more in fear that I'll tap into some deep well of anxiety that I haven't found yet

lindsladle15 · December 2016

I'm not ready! 3rd baby....no hospital bag packed, no car seat out, no clothes or baby gear out or washed (the dresser just came in, so that's something!), no freezer meals made, etc. DD2 is still sleeping in the crib that will be the baby's, but I figure DD3 can sleep in the pack n play until I move DD2 out of the crib and into DD1's room, which I'm dreading.
I have a few packs of diapers, wipes, and there are burp rags out! If I just go get some nursing pads and lanolin, I'll feel ready enough

I'm also not due until 1/24, so I'm just trying to get my Christmas gifts wrapped at this point.

@canavara Yes!! I was so cocky just a few weeks ago! I've ready some articles on labor recently and they just end up making me cry.... lol. Yeh. I'm ready but not ready. LOL

litzi-2 · December 2016

I'm hope I have many weeks of pregnancy to go... well, at least 5 more weeks

I'm super uncomfortable but I don't even care, I'm actually getting to enjoy this last part of pregnancy off bedrest and walking around! I hope to even get some yoga in if I get to 36 weeks. Baby stay in!

This is basically what my whole post said but it ate it

ccarrozza1 · December 2016

Second pregnancy and my first is 18 months old. This pregnancy has been super rough compared to the first...non stop sickness, colds, bugs....
I am having aches and pains. Dr measures him at 8lbs now but he feels like more to me. I want to give birth and get the move on with getting us all better and healthy.
Realizing that giving birth in the winter with toddlers means lots of sickness. First birth happened in June so a January baby is much different. Praying for health for all at this point.

I've also been worried about the sickness...my first two were born mid June and early July.

Bubblesstarr2 · December 2016

I didn't even think about flu season in December/January. Now I'm worried.

I had complete opposite, my July baby had me sick constantly whereas this time around I've only been sick once! But I totally agree, the whole one toddler to chase and another baby on the way wasn't the plan I had haha but it'll work out!

moosette113 · December 2016

I was totally relaxed waiting for another month+, even with everything I still have to do (buy sheets, diapers, wipes, wash almost everything, pack a hospital bag). Until I got a whatsapp from my doula last night checking in on me... from a different continent. Which rationally, of course she's visiting family and shouldn't be tied to our city when I still have more than a month to go. But now the irrational side is all panicked that I'll pop this week just because our support system isn't here. I'm hoping the enormous list of things left to do will keep that part of my brain in check until she's back.

sldp123 · December 2016

I still have a lot to do, too. And I still have a lot to do for Christmas, which is taking priority this week because it is (hopefully!) happening first. I'm teetering between wanting as much time as possible to get things done and wanting to just have these boys here so we can move on with our new normal life as a family of five.

With my first, my water broke unexpectedly at 36w, after everyone spent my entire pregnancy preparing me to go late because first babies are "always" late. I felt like I really missed out on the anticipation and waiting and wondering when it would happen. Now I'm only 34+4 but I feel like I'm getting a taste of it because with twins plus my history of PPROM I feel like it could happen any day. And I have to say it's not as great as I thought it would be, haha.

kaytastic25 · December 2016

I'm ready. Luckily baby seems happy in there. Sudden plans to move into MIL house next week. DH got laid off. Now I have to pack everything and we have to be out of here before January. Toddler to give a nice Christmas to and re-set up all baby gear. Oh my word...can you say stressed. I'm trying to stay calm!
