August, September, October Mama's.. - Page 2

[crittersmom]

I'm on the fence, school started today for my kids and if baby comes on her due date they will be on break for a month the day before so lots of time to adjust.So Sept 25 would be just fine.
But...I have had Hyperemesis the entire pregnancy and it hasn't been taken well taken care of.I am sooo gosh darn hungry but if I eat it almost kills me coming back up so I really am looking forward to my first meal.Also looking forward to leaving my house and feeling like me again.
I feel the clock ticking away and I am too weak to really get much done but the thought that in 6 weeks I'll be in my "window"...eek!
I guess its good that I'm not in charge.

august has 6 or 7 babies now and a few more are eminent...I'm the end of August and I'll grant you to August 30th but my MW goes out of town Sept 1, so I can grant you no more! Oka,y seriously, I'll be ready in two weeks...(be 36 wks on sat). Then I too will be a mother of four!

im due early november and it feels like time is flying by at the speed of light.... i know 15 weeks would seem like a ton of time, but 25 weeks have gone in a blink of an eye....
like all of you there are so many things to be done, and that feeling of it being our time and likely my last time doing this amazing journey.. i just want it to linger a bit and give me time to absorb it all and feel totally ready when it happens.. i know that in 14 weeks i will probably feel more than ready and even impatient though..so im trying to just take it as it comes..

(((hugs)))

I'd much rather have a fast forward button! I'm not cut out for pregnancy, I'm way too impatient.

Hee! That's what I was thinking! I'm 37 weeks today and I'd like to fall into a blissful sleep and wake up with a baby in my arms.

Holy cow, how did I get to be a mother of six?!?

And here I thought my request was reasonable!

Good to know I'm not the only one in mild to high panic. I actually hate pregnancy...Ok maybe hate is too strong of a word since it is an amazing process and I have relatively healthy pregnancies. I guess I just really dislike having my body overrun for 9 months, the uncomfortable 2nd -3rd trimester, and the weight gain. Ugh. Not to mention all the other lovely stuff that comes with pregnancy. It doesn't help that I gain my preggo weight all over so I look like a blimp with loose skin (thank you DD) and stretch marks (again thank you DD). No joke! I do NOT have the "cute model" preggo body. I'm not super overweight either but my hips/love handles (HA! "LOVE" HANDLES... who the F came up with that name!) and boobs grow at the same rate as my belly so hence... i look like a lovely round blimp and by the time I get to the point where I can't take it anymore... my face also swells up like a balloon and I look like one of those cartoon characters with the tiny eyes and big nose. Ewwww! So yeah I don't enjoy pregnancy... but my fear of two children running around... Ok well one running and one attached to the boob is really starting to freak me out. I also plan to stop working and not having the extra paycheck scares me... Ugh... A lot scares me right now and time moving by so fast is just not helping matters!

Good news is that this is my last pregnancy and I’m very excited to have my body back so I can whip my ass back into my size 8 jeans! Haven’t worn them since October 2009… I had an early miscarriage last November and well lost my motivation to stay fit and healthy so I gained 25 lbs… bye bye size 8… Then naturally when I was ready to kick my butt back into shape… I got pregnant again! Hahahaha Oiy. Doesn’t help that one of my close friends is 3 weeks ahead of me and has that perfect model preggo body… Seriously sucks but I try really hard to remember to keep my green monster in check since she is super awesome and I’d hate to ruin a perfectly good friendship over my own insecurities. Besides I look pretty good myself when I’m down to my size 8 with clothes on… Surgery is the only way I’ll feel better about the whole clothes off thing but eh… we shall see maybe a fairy will magically come to the rescue and change my mind about my mommy body. Really hoping for that fairy since I don’t have $20k to put towards all the reconstructive surgery I would need to be even remotely ok with how I look naked. Sorry didn’t mean to go that route… Anyways babies are coming and there is nothing we can do about it! EKKKKKK!

I'll grant you some time with the pause button. I'm due in less than 4 weeks and am trying to accept that this baby could come at any minute from this point forward, especially with the new feelings in my cervix this week. And, I can hardly believe that I will absolutely be holding my baby within 6 weeks. I think I'll feel pretty ready around my due date but I don't yet. This will be our second child and I'm nervous about all the changes that will come to our family, especially DS's adjustment, mine to caring for 2 kids and going back to REALLY sleepless nights. But, it's also my first time birthing so I'm somewhat nervous about that too, though excited. I don't deal well with unknowns, like when labor will begin.

But, you said it. These babies will come whenever they darn well want and we just have to go with the flow!

[VillageMom6]

Haha, Lucy&JudesMama! I'm laughing so hard that I'm contracting!

It's like you climbed into my head and are reading my darkest thoughts... right down to the gaining weight before getting pregnant and dying to get back to size 8 jeans (and my eventual tummy-tuck and breast lift).

Okay, I can top your clothing/body issues bit. How about this?: I can't wait to be non-pregnant (and eventually non-nursing) so that I can take drugs. Drugs! Just half of an Ambien helps me get to sleep soooo much faster than my usual tossing and turning.

I get horrific headaches sometimes and they just laugh at the piddly Tylenols I take. The only thing that helps is a Vicodin. Just one! I don't take much, really. But I haven't been taking any and that makes my headaches taunt me.

A glass (or two) of wine? Wouldn't that be nice?!

I want to be able to pollute my body again!

Maybe a year or so from now.

I'll say it - I HATE being pregnant!!!! I want my body back. I want to take drugs again too and not worry about it! I want to have a drink now and then again. I want to wear some normal clothes and not look like a huge disaster all of the time. I want to be able to get into the Jeep without grunting!
AND I don't have the model pregnancy body either. We were at the beach and there was this little pregnant girl with a perfectly round stretch mark free belly. My partner looked at her, looked at me, and I yelled "shut up!!!" - I look like I was attacked by a tiger or something. The whole "stretch marks are genetic" stuff is BS!!!!! I'm the only damn person in my whole family both sides with this crap.
So.. nope, sorry, no pausing. (hehehe) I'm due in 3 weeks and she better be out way before then because I am SO DONE!
