I've suddenly been struck with the impatience bug

[pixiedust]

Anyone else LOL? I was fine... but I've been seeing lots of newborn pictures on another board and now I'm all impatient and want Nov. to be here NOW I'm sure that will pass once I realize that we still have to pack and MOVE before then. (on the other hand if it was Nov. already that would be done : .. yep.. I wish it was Nov. already )

Me too! At first I was ok with waiting but now, I just can't wait for it to be time! I'm getting excited and I want to plan and do and organize but it will just get all undone before the baby comes anyway.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it can't be NOV -- I still have soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to do..........

[greenmountainmomma]

I'm somewhere in between -- or maybe just all over the place. On one hand, I can't wait.. On the other, no respectable Vermonter would want to rush through the summer. And then I'M NO WHERE CLOSE TO READY. : I couldn't even participate in the "to do list" thread because my list freaked me out too much.

It seems like ever since I started saying this pregnancy was going by fast, it has been going soooo sloooooooooooow .

But I am impatient too. I ordered 'A Child Is Born' on Amazon so DD and I could look at pics of growing babies and it is taking forever. I practically run to the mailbox everyday and it's never here.

I'm getting there. I'm anxious to hold my baby and work on getting my figure back!

[BarefootinBrooklyn]

me too! i find myself making endless to-do lists and daily schedules just to map out the time...i need to see that there is a point on the calendar when baby will be here and life will get more amazing. i'm really looking forward to it, to the point where it's hard to concentrate on what i'm supposed to be doing today, and i know i need to get over that and enjoy "now."

i'm trying to relish the kicking from inside, the fun of adding things to the registry, picking out a crib, painting the room, etc.

plus today (as i'm leaving the ice cream shop, of course) i saw this slim and trim lady and for one second thought to myself "man, i need to get in shape!" but realized that i moreso need to enjoy this one time in my life when i can let myself fill out and look like a WOMAN.

and then i enjoyed my ice cream, every single bite.

I am a weird mix of total impatience, crawling time mixed with nooooooo not yet I am sooooo not prepared... weird opposite feelings at the same time!

Not ready for November at all here! I'm just starting to truly enjoy this pregnancy. The first half was so hard. I just switched to Prilosec to help control my severe acid reflux and for the first time since about the 6th week, I almost feel normal again! I'm savoring having a big appetite and being able to indulge and not feel too guilty! I'm loving the kicks, tumbles, and dancing this little girl does! Can't wait to feel hiccups! This might be our last, so I'm in no hurry to rush it, especially now that I'm not nauseous anymore.

Plus, I'm really nervous about juggling 3 little ones all by myself with dh deployed, so in that sense, I'm really not ready for this baby (mentally). I'm sure it will all work out okay, but I keep thinking beyond the romantic aspects of a newborn. Not sure why I'm torturing myself. But I keep thinking about how hard my first dd was (very spirited, high needs baby). If this one is anything like my first, I fear I will never get to sleep or do anything for myself. I guess I'm preparing myself for the worst, but I can't seem to think of the fun parts of having a baby. I need to get over that before November and remember how enjoyable newborns are.

Me, definitely not ready for November. I'll get there though.

I'm ready and not-so-ready. I've got a ton on my to do list to accomplish before these babes arrive.

I'm so excited and looking forward to meeting them! I'm nervous about the birth...hoping all will go well and I can just have a natural, vaginal birth. The only way I can is if baby A is head down and then baby B stays and/or turns head down, but my doc won't do a breech vaginal birth for twin B, so there are a number of factors that will come into play.

I'm nervous about taking care of TWO newborns at the same time.

I'm with you....the first half of my pg seemed to fly by... I actually wanted it to slow down so that I could enjoy each part more....and now....I can't wait to get to the end, but I'm still trying to enjoy each minute and be thankful for today.

[Metiswoman]

I want small one here NOW, NOW, NOW!!!! When I think about the fact that summer AND fall has to pass before I can hold little one...grrr!

What's really behind it? I seriously hate being pregnant! I think the end product is 'all that' but wow, oh, wow do I wish it could come stork delivered, "Here's your baby, Madame!"

Plus, I'm really missing my serious hobby of beinga coffee connoisseur. I've never been able to tolerate java through a single pregnancy.

I'm also dying to know what small one will look like, soooo very bad! My kids look so different that they don't even look related in the least (Ha! It's that metis blood!). I'm just hoping s/he's not redheaded AND freckled like I am. I'm afraid that the Ob already marked small one in utero by telling me at an exam, "See, Freckles is just fine!" (Need a strangulation emoticon here!)
