<div style="font-style:italic;">My daughter was due 3/28...and I was the.very.last.one.to.deliver. in my last DDC. Talk about depressing! Most didn't even stick around to hear her birth story - not that I'm still bitter or anything!<br><br>
I have 6 weeks left, too. We'll be in good company while everybody else pops out their kids this month. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"></div>

Count me into this group! With DD I was due 11/26 and I was the second last person in my DDC to have a baby. No one was around to read my birth story <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/greensad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="greensad"> I'll read yours, I promise!<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

<div style="font-style:italic;">Seriously, though, this month can't go by fast enough. So much going on, family party on the 13th, school finals on the 18th, DD's birthday party on the 20th, Christmas and then the final weeks to obsess and clean. I'm really, really looking forward to school ending and that being removed from my plate. .</div>

Yup! Every weekend is booked between now and Christmas- add in playgroup, visits with MIL, swimming with a friend, prenatals, etc and the month should FLY past!<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

<div style="font-style:italic;">I'm starting to lie awake thinking about labor and coping skills. I think part of me has forgotten the reality of it...I'm trying to prepare mentally, to visualize that "place". Visualization helped a lot last time and I feel like I'm running out of time...</div>

I never do much with visualization. I can't even THINK too much about the birth part or I get tingly scared/ excited and I can't function because I'm so excited, let alone make real labour visulizations. I looked at the scissors we're planning to use to cut the cord, and I had to go sit down. It's ridiculous!<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

we haven't put the tree up yet, but it's on our list. our diaper stash is about ready and i picked up several really good deals in the black friday / cyber monday sales, yay! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"> some of the newborns arrived yesterday and they are SO CUTE</div>

Tree- on the list. Not sure when we'll do it, since DD is 1 and likes to destroy things....<br>
Diapers- I REALLY need to get on that. I need a few NB diaper covers, some prefolds (what the heck size prefold should I get? Preemie? Infant? No clue) and I want to buy some One-Size diapers as well for once he gets a bit older.<br><br>
I bought a crapload of fleece (seriously, wayyyy too much fleece) to make diaper covers and sleepsacks, but IDK when I'll get the time to do anythign with it<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

<div style="font-style:italic;">and...there are now red stretch marks popping up everywhere on her belly.</div>

With DD, I didn't get a single stretchmark until 37 weeks. Just when I thought I was in the clear... not fair!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
DH and I are having a "thing." He feels unloved and I feel like he never listens to me or helps out. No idea how to fix it. He asked that I act like I love him and my reaction was "What?!??!" It's true. He's trying to be nice and helpful, and I'm just angry all the time. Really not sure how to fix it.
