I've been ready for 3 weeks

I think I've been leaking fluid since yesterdau, which I do with my babes for some reason. Either over night or with ds 4 days. I always have high leaks. Anyways, my midwife kinda blew it off when I asked if she had litmus/ph paper. Said if it was my water I would keep leaking and to watch it for a couple hours. Whatever. What will happen will happen!

I am ready!!!!

Sounds like Pam. Although I am going to be seriously annoyed if you go before me. I am so beyond ready. Been ready for ages.

Me too! Ready! Ready! I'm due a week from today. But that means it could be another THREE WEEKS - doesn't it. Bleeecchhh.

Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready!

I am so ready. But it could still be another 4 weeks

I will have to find some new projects, now that everything important is finished, so I won't get too bored and impatient. Something to distract me from the fact that everything is ready but nothing is happening - baby hasn't dropped, no ctx, nothing...
Any suggestions? I am very uninspired at the moment.

I'm in a weird "funk" stage right now where "I'm ready" and "I'm not" at the same time. I'm so big and uncomfy and hot and in pain (SPD) and looking forward to meeting my precious, new little one...
...but then this sadness of not being pregnant gets to me. And the house will never seem 'ready' enough for me with four kiddos and two dogs, plus being physically limited right now.

I'm so frustrated with myself for feeling this way! Grrr... I just want to "arrive" so badly. I want to feel completely ready, overjoyed, and have a wonderful first homebirth. I don't like this upsetting in-limbo feeling at all. *tears*

Sorry for the kinda 'downer' mini-vent...

P.S. - I know my DH and I are very blessed. I think that's another reason I'm beating myself up for not feeling great...I really, really want to! (I'm even taking mood enhancers, as suggested by my MW, in an effort to help ward off depression, etc...but...ugh...)

I'm ready and at the same time so not ready: I don't have enough diapers made. The apartment still needs some organization and a bit of cleaning. I haven't been doing my hypnobabies faithfully so I'm behind in the program and I don't feel like I know the cues well enough. In a way, I feel like a student who hasn't studied enough for her exams!

Physically though, I'm READDDDYYYYY. I can't sleep. My mood swings are so unpredictable. My feet are swollen and unrecognizable. BUT I have no contractions at all and my nurse says I've got a long way to go before giving birth. Since my EDD is June 27th, I could go until July 11th OR LATER. ARRRRRRGGGG!

Baby come soon!

I finally feel emotionally ready (although i will be sad for this pregnancy to end), but physically I feel pretty good so I could keep on keeping on for awhile. I think after Saturday sometime would be perfect.

Ready isn't even the word for it. DONE is more appropriate.

I'm done. I risk out next week. Good times.

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm almost ready in terms of feeling like everything is all set. I still want to get the cradle set up (even though we'll mostly co-sleep) and take care of a few other things that I'd rather do before the baby comes.

I'm a bit sad that I may never be pregnant again and also a little scared of adjusting to a toddler and a baby.

I guess I'm content for now to be almost there, getting things done little by little and hoping that the baby will be here in a week or two (EDD=6/20)

I'm ready! I feel ok, but I'm just SO anxious to meet him and add to our family! I'm excited to see DS1 and him interact, and I'm excited to be home with both of my boys all summer. I can't wait!
