anyone else impatient for baby already? « Back to Group Discussions

I feel crazy, but lately I'm feeling so impatient for this baby- like I want her now.  Which is totally ridiculous since I have 16 weeks to go!    I do want to enjoy my pregnancy since it's such a special time and who knows if I'll have another?  

I'm feeling super nesty too- like I just want to go through baby clothes and get her room ready.  We are no where near ready to start any of that- we have a lot of home rearrangement to do first (namely dh has to relocate man cave to basement).  But I keep picking up little things all the time- today it was a new kitchen garbage can for the cloth diapers and many other little things like that.  

Is anybody else feeling this way?  Any suggestions on how to relax and be content with this time of pregnancy?

I'm glad someone else is feeling this way too! I was just thinking today: OMG, I can't wait to have this baby and love it him as much as DS!! I try to remind myself of the constant nursing, exhausting nights, and balancing act of motherhood. But nope, I'm still just too dang excited! I will be happy to meet our new son in 16 weeks!

Add me to the list!  However, I have so much to accomplish around the house!

I'm pretty impatient. I am a bit disconnected still so for me, I just want that tangible real example of a child, not this weird surreal kicking concept. November is SO far away!

This is me too.  I am really excited but at the same time trying not to rush things too much since I want to enjoy this pregnancy especially since it will be our last.  When I think about having this little one on top of my other two little ones, the excitement simmers down a bit.  I then have my OMG what am I going to do moment!

I am *totally* impatient to have my baby! What a different feeling!

It may have something to do with knowing that all the frenzied activity of remodeling and winterizing and planting and gathering baby things and decorating projects and sewing and knitting that are going on in the homestead right now will be OVER when the baby gets here and I can just enjoy my sweet new baby, my husband and kids and my comfy home.
