We CAN do this!!!  

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Okay ladies, I've done my fair share of complaining here the last few days, but I'm here to turn over a new leaf and ask you all to join me. We are almost there!!!! The sleep deprivation, false labors, aches and pains all suck. I agree, but most of us have done this before and survived. We are waiting on our precious bundles to arrive, so it's all worth it!

We can do this. It will be happening very soon for most of us. We are halfway through the month, so if you are part of this ddc, you only have about 2 weeks til your edd at the most. That is NOT a long time in the grand scheme of things.

Lets enjoy this! I vow to do something special for baby every day til he arrives, just to be sure I can enjoy the last days or hours of this pregnancy. Today I will finish a pair of shorties I'm knitting for him for this summer. What about you?

C'mon! We are STRONG women, that is why God (or whoever you believe in) has given US the bodies that birth. How sad would it be to not have this wonderful ability to grow and nurture another human being with our bodies and then sustain these little lives with our own bodies all while caring for ourselves and our families? We are LUCKY to have what we have right now. Our husbands don't get to feel baby squirming inside and experience the miracle of giving birth and no matter how painful it may be it IS a miracle that we will all experience very soon!!!

I miss being pregnant I know I whinged about it, but this last two weeks has gone far too quickly for me. Enjoy this time, mamas.

I sanitized the walls and the ceilings with bleach in the house when I was pg with my oldest dd. I was single, lived with my parents, and had no other children. Apparently I had nothing better to do, lol!

Fantastic idea! DH and I decided to DTD more often since after giving birth and adjusting to a new baby we know it will be a while.

I'm home today and plan to get some things taken care of as well. Probably some cleaning, finishing some thank you cards, and I'd love to go out and get a massage if the weather cooperates! This is a great excuse for me to pamper myself too!

Kathy,
I am going through the same change of heart. I had several days of obsessing, whining, feeling ready to quit. But I realized it's NOT that far away -- even if it doesn't happen by my due date, that's not that long (considering I've been doing this for 38 weeks). All our babies will be here REALLY soon!
