True, I am terribly afraid of going overdue and having to be induced, first baby and all...
At least you can hold your LO in your arms and forget about all the medical issues once its over. I hope its not too too early for your LO though!

I'm less in denial than I used to be. I'm actually thinking of taking the rest of the afternoon to sort through baby clothes that people have given me. On the other hand, I still haven't really wrapped my mind around the idea, and honestly, most of the time I'm not really that excited. I worry sometimes about that.
Not sure if it is denial since our life here seriously picks up with activities so I really just cannot imagine yet going into labor early since I was 40+ with both boys which puts this one close to Memorial Day and Daddy's birthday.
I have been getting things ready but still it is hard to think #3 will so here so soon even when people ask and I say supposedly 5.5 wks or so.
I have been having several waves a day and sometimes for quite of while at a time though they do not bother me. This never happened with my boys so it is something new to me so it should make it more real to me but still hard to think that far ahead just yet with all that is going on.

Im sorry what did you say? we are having babies NEXT MONTH?!!?? (not in denial here at all)

Im in shock or something, I can't believe we are already at this point. today I started thinking about having a real live baby next month while I was driving and I got emotional and started crying. (never a good thing on the road) it was happy crying but geeze pregnancy hormones! I think it might have been the first time the beginning of the reality hit me.

No denial here. I'm done and just want him here. I'm tired of being pregnant

I am just starting to remember how much babies poop! They poop like every hour. That is a huge difference from my toddler. There are a lot of diaper changes/laundry in our future ladies!
I came out of denial a couple weeks ago at last. I don't want to get too fixed on the idea of next month though because I'm due near the end of the month and don't want to be discouraged. Plus I have a 2nd birthday to celebrate with DS1 between now and then, my birthday, and my entire list of insane things I must do before the baby is born - no time like the present!!!

Well, I'm in denial AND yesterday was the day that it really hit me--was this such a good idea at this point in my life? It's not like we don't have a stable home and family, and lots of support, and although the timing was not exactly what we planned at first, this baby is very much wanted and loved... but at the same time, we're young (well, mid-20s), and maybe we're giving up being footloose too early...
I think I'm more nervous now because I just spent a few days with various friends who aren't having children (probably for years yet), and who have lots of fun things planned and are working on their careers while I take a time-out on those plans. Not only that, but as things are getting down to the wire, I'm getting more nervous and worried about things going well in the last few weeks and what we'll find out at the birth, etc.
It doesn't help that all I can do is waddle from one place to another trying to get little things done. I've loved being pregnant, but I'm finally ready to be able to see my toes again.

I totally feel the whole young thing as something on your mind. My DH and I are in our early 20s, he's going to be 24, I'm 23 and while we were married young (both 21) this is a way bigger life change to us than getting married.
All of our friends are still running around going to bars all the time etc. We haven't really been into that for a while, somewhere along the line the past couple of years we grew up into homebodies who love to be with our pets and do stuff around the house, who knew considering we were always out and about before that....
I like to remind DH that one awesome bonus of having a LO (we're planning on her being our only one) this young is that by time we are 45 she will be off and already in college!! Even thinking about it makes me excited, although I don't know what that says since DD isn't even here yet and I am fantasizing about her going off to college already.

I don't think it's so much denial that I'm as much as I am VERY laid back about the whole thing. I keep getting hit with small bits of reality. That make me go Whoaa! But then I forget again. I really need to wake up though because my house is a wreck and I really want it as put together as I can get before baby.
I have started feeding the freezer though, thats something right?!

This is EXACTLY our story, pretty much! We're 24 and 26 (I'll be turning 25 in early May), and we got married when I was 22, but we're also homebodies who prefer to be at home with our pets most of the time while our friends are out and about.
Just yesterday I even commented to someone that it's exciting that our child will be college-aged when we're in our early to mid 40s, so I know exactly how you feel.

Oddly enough, by the way, your username is pretty much my real, pre-marriage name... maybe we're clones?

Government clones? hmmm I was reading on another thread about how the blood from the PKU test is stored or something....

I have to laugh at my DH's friends from basically his entire life since he grew up where we live now, they cannot fathom why we would want a baby this young. We weren't planning on it but its still a good thing to us! Then again his 3 best friends who are very nice people as a whole still live with their parents and barely have jobs....so we are starting to grow up a bit comparatively...I am sure you can empathize with that feeling!
Oh and our due dates are very close together. 4 days! I feel like we'll be the only ones left on here who haven't had ours yet especially since firstlings are notorious for being late babies!
