You did more than I usually do everyday. I live overseas, so I don't work. I use to feel guilty about staying home and relaxing, but now Im taking full advantage of it . How knows how things will be 2 months from now lol.

Im wondering if Ill ever hit the nesting stage. I only have her crib and glider put together. The clothes are still in boxes. I guess Ill get to it someday.

Enjoy your lazy days while you have them

Is anyone else's DH having a hard time being excited for a baby? My DH loves me, wants a child, says he loves the baby, but is still struggling to feel connected and excited over the impending birth. I think this is normal but just wanted to see if any of you have talked to your DH's about this.

I think its like Nikki said, because the guys dont have that physical connection with the baby yet. I feel her move all day, and when I ask if my husband wants to feel he does for about a minute then he's done. I've just tried to bring up conversation about the baby as much as possible, and make sure he's involved in all the decisions even if it's just how to organize her clothes lol.

Once our babies get here I know they will be so excited.

I had a total lazy day yesterday. I didn't feel well again yesterday with back pains and tummy feeling weird. I have this whole list if stuff I need to get done and did none of it yesterday! We've made some progress today, I'm just hoping I feel alright. Felt off again this morning but ok so far this afternoon...

Day 3 of our cleaning and I'm just so tired I just want to sleep but still need to get clothes put away and books and movies that are not watched but just have no energy

 

[BabyHopeful2]

I feel bad lately - I just have this insane feeling like baby is coming soon and we need to clean now. So I nag DH all the time to get him to clean. I feel like we haven't had a normal conversation/time to relax the past few days because of my crazy need to get things ready.

On a side note, what do BH feel like? This is my first pregnancy and I cannot tell if that's what I'm having. My lower back and abdomen have been hurting, but it's more constant, dull pain rather than what I would think of for a contraction.

 

[Kaiecee]

I hate when baby is more quiet I want him to more like crazy but he's not

Ugh, this shortness of breath is seriously getting on my nerves now, it seems the only time I can breathe freely is on my right side and if I stay there too long I get cramped up. Any other position and I'm gasping for air, I almost passed out yesterday cuz I felt so suffocated. I'm beginning to understand why some women cry and beg for induction when they go overdue.

I'm always so out of breath to. I feel like my boobs are crushing my chest even when I lay on my side. It sucks!! My feet are starting to hurt pretty bad too. I've noticed some swelling, tho my Bp is fine so far. Dr wants me to just watch it.

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'm with you there ladies. These last two days I've noticed that I'm really starting to struggle, breathing sometimes difficult, absolutely no energy, shattered all the times, can't sleep, hips hurt . . . The joys

Hope we all feel better tomorrow x

 

[AJThomas]

I was thinking about what it will be like to reach down and feel my baby's head and know that he's almost here, or finally having him out and looking into his face for the first time and i got all excited and teary-eyed, can't wait to meet this little guy, altho he's such a troublemaker now.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

i agree aj! cant wait to just see her for the first time!

 

[ARuppe716]

I'm thinking little guy may have started to drop a little? I have no idea if it's too early for that to start? I have no heartburn, I don't get breathless when I lay down anymore, and I've had lower back, hip, and pelvic twinges an pains the last few days...

Any thoughts?

to everyone out there! Seems like we are all getting to that ugh stage! I seem to only really get out of breath if I try and walk too fast or move too quickly. Otherwise I seem to be ok on that front. However, the SPD could go away! Today was a rough day for that. The slightest movement, even just adjusting slightly on the couch is so painful.

Sounds like you have some serious nesting going on Babyhopeful! I remember the Thursday before I had DD, I went INSANE in my house. Hanging up pictures, moving furniture. As for braxton hicks, with me, my whole stomach tightens up. It isn't painful but at times can make my breath catch a little bit.

I am starting to feel like we aren't ready. I realize now that being due January 3rd doesn't really give me a lot of time to get the last things I need! I still have so much to get. I am asking for some things for Christmas. I joked with my mom about hoping that she doesn't come early because my christmas list is relatively baby related this year.

AJ - when I was pushing Eva out I felt this burning pain and thought "oh my god her head must be close" so I reached down and all I could feel was this tiny little patch of head through this tiny little opening and all I could think was "oh my god and it burns like a bitch already" after that I was too terrified to feel down there again in case I got even more major disappointment over the amount of crowning compared to the amount of pain. Lol. I thought I was experiencing the ring of fire and it wasn't even close. I definitely had a bit of a panicked moment that there was so much more to go.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I seriously don't understand how Matthew is going to grow yet more. It's already hard to do so many things that I just can't get it, where is he going to grow too? I feel like my tummy has gotten beyond obvious pregnant to very heavily pregnant, and we still have two months to go!

Hubby is trying to get Kitty into a harness so she can be trained to go out on walks, it's stressing me out LOL but he is set on teaching her that...

 

[AJThomas]

Haha! I thought about that too Betheney, that instead of being all excited about him coming out, i might go oh crap, i refuse to push any more! but i don't want to think about that option too much.

 

[Betheney]

The burning wasn't as bad as I expected it to be and I did like pushing!!! Everyone kept telling me how great I was doing. I said at one point "I don't want to push anymore" and they said "no worries love we can have a break with the next contraction" and i was like "really? Okay then!" so on the next contraction we had a break and I didn't push at all, it helped me realise that it doesn't have to be a forceful you have no control over the situation kind of thing. If you want a break take a break.

The only thing bad about nesting is how out if breath and sore u can get I'm determined to get most or all done this week my older boys rooms are done laundry still a lot to sort out put pics up in the house only have 2 doors to paint in my room dh will do tiles in the kitchen done just a little paint around the window I really want Riley's room to be finished in max3 days so much to do and it feels like my body doesn't want to do it as much as I do
