Being pregnant.. I want her to get here so bad!!
What sucks is i still have 8 weeks to go! She now is trying to claw her way out of my throat..Im thinking she's trying to tell me that she is running out of room.. and i know that she hasn't even gone through her growth spurt yet .. I cant even imagine what the final weeks will be like when she gains half a pound a week here pretty soon..She already is measuring over 6 lbs! ahh!! I want to see my feet again! I want to feel skinny! I want to hold me baby!! ahhh!! Anybody have any ideas that make the final stretch go by quicker? Im offically done with school for the semester so I now am going to be doing nothing but sitting at home basically i think the bext 8 weeks will be the slowest of my life...

Vanessa, i completely understand how you're feeling right now! I think this week i decided i am officially sick of being pregnant. as much as i love my daughter, and feeling her move around, i just want my body back! i'm sick of the heartburn, i'm sick of her kicking my ribs, sick of not being able to get out of the bed without serious effort... and i'm sick of seeing the scale every time i go in for an appt. i'm so excited to see her, and it seems like the next 7 weeks won't come fast enough. i want to start my life as a family already! and as soon as i'm able to, i swear i'm going to get my skinny body back. it's really hard for me to accept the weight gain and fat feet that come along with this beautiful experience.

omg I so feel you!! I miss so bad feeling thin and pretty.. I just do not feel like a beautiful pregnant women, I miss my skinny jeans and i swear the second i am able im getting my old body back!
And it wouldnt be that bad being pregnant if my back and ribs didnt hurt so horribly.. i seriously think she bruised my rib cage.. Im so glad im not alone!

WOW.. your baby is weighing over 6 lbs already.. Holy. No wonder you are so uncomfortable. I was in last week and my little one is only weighing in at 3 lbs 14 oz and that was at 31 weeks. I am 32 wks tomorrow. I feel tho like this baby is 10 lbs and sitting directly on my vagina! Ughhh..

I hope that you feel better soon.

Hugs,

keep in mind that they can be off by 2 pounds. they kept insisting i would have a 10 pound baby, i even had an u/s the night before i delivered and they said he was measuring over 10. he ended up being 8lbs 5oz.

hang in there ladies! not too much longer!

vanessa, how was your baby shower? did you make a thread and i missed it?

I'm a little different to you guys, i want more than anything to meet .Mika as soon as possible but due to exams i don't want her to be early becaus ei want to do all of my exams if possible. For me i'm quite lucky really because my pregnancy has gone quickly anyway and with all of my revision and exams coming up the weeks are flying by so to me it will proberly feel like yesterday i was posting my belly pics when i'm in hospital holding my little lady

It was amazing!! It felt so good to see everybody and brianna is now the best dressed fetus ever.. all we have left to get is her carseat/stroller combo and we're all set although were going to be moving here in about a month, which will be fun..a move to a new military base (and getting a new doctor) at 36/37 weeks...wooohoo cant wait.

Awwww i know how u's all feel, i have seven weeks left and although it feels like ages away, it feels like it really soon at the same time!!! I love feeling her move around but some times it can be really uncomfortable, bordering on painful, especially wen shes kicking my hip!!!! I dont have a huge bump (although some wud disagree)! But i feel like im carrying a bowling ball around in my stomach, and can never get comfortable, im always huffing and puffing!!!!! Can anyone relate!!????
