ttcbean, the way i look at it is this - everyone is a first-time parent at some point. einstein's parents were first-timers. obama's mom was a first-timer. no baby comes with a manual (even though we wish they did!!) chances are, you won't screw it up. :)

i agree, though, it's scary to think about sometimes. in 3 months, i'm bringing a PERSON home from the hospital. A PERSON!!!! :)
 
ttc I am the same way! I hit 28 weeks today & last night I was telling dh "OMG in 12 weeks or less Mason will be here!!! eeekkk where has the time gone! So I'm hitting panic mode now." This is something I have waited & tried for so so so so so long & now that it's getting close, I'm freaking out a bit!!! dh tells me it's all going to be fine though....
 
Awww of course you'll be fine.

By the fact you're on here worrying about it shows how much you care and how lovely a mum you will be. <3
 
Jtink I envy you! My shower is April 7... I want to already be organized by then!!! Not being able to buy much is driving me nutters lol
 
Thanks :) I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just love him to bits so I want to do everything that's 'right' for him!

I think I'm experiencing dry skin! My legs/back/bum cheeks are super itchy, ugh! Darn winter weather. Lotion doesn't seem to be helping much... if anything it makes it worse!

My friend asked last night if she could do my baby shower :) of course I said yes but she's my only friend here and all my family lives in another country... DH family lives 3 hours away so I think it will be the worlds smallest shower!!!
 
well, i don't have any family here in chicago, and only a few friends. i moved here from san diego 4 years ago to be with my husband. so i'm going home to san diego for my baby shower, but my doctor asked me not to fly after 28 weeks. (i'm high-risk)

i am thrilled it's so soon! plus, i think i'll be getting a small work shower in april here in chicago. eek.....can't wait to see what we get!!!

you're right about the first time mummy nerves! I just want to be a good mummy to my little boy and just worry that being exhausted I might 'miss' something or not give him everything he needs & being so tiny he wont be able to tell me.

Also I feel a bit guilty about something. DH & I went for a drink after work (I had a coke!) and I thought about how it wont be long before we get very little time for just us two. I'm so excited that we get to have our beautiful baby & become a family but will miss being us two. Is this normal? I feel so awful for thinking this. :-(
 
I think it's normal poppy, I've thought that a few times... especially those really nice moments alone. I actually thought about it the other morning, we slept in a little later than usual, and instead of getting up right away we just laid in bed and chatted/laughed and just enjoyed each others company. I was a little sad that it won't ever be him and I, or that we'll be able to do that for a long time. Of course I am excited and wouldn't trade my little baby for anything!!! I feel awful too when I think those thoughts... but DH and I have been together nearly 8 years, just the two of us, it's just going to be a big change (for the better I am sure)!
 
On a different note... baby has been hiccuping for 5 minutes now!!! I love feeling it!
 
Poppy don't feel guilty honey that is so normal to feel like that- your world is about to change, just enjoy these last few months but know that in the future there will be at times be babysitters lol (when you feel like you can).

I feel like this just adding a new baby to our family, both Daddy and I feel guilty each time, knowing that our attention and love will be stretched further but we know we can do it and it's just adapting but it still feels scary as we are used to being a family of four nkw. We often reminise (sorry can't spell that word) about our 6 years of marriage before our first was born and how easy we had it in terms of just being able to worry about ourselves, have lie ins etc but we both agree that our children have made our lives richer (not in the money sense haha) and better. X
 
Sass. I am so happy you passed. Sorry no Internet at work today and yesterday was crazy. I was so happy to see you passed.

I had the discussion w my dh this morning about not planning anything and laying in bed tomorrow since in a few months we will you be alone. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I think that is normal. We all just care so much and want to do our best, and we will!
 
I remember totally freaking out before I had carter but it all comes so naturally when baby gets here that all those worries fly away I am more scared this time around that I won't give enough love to Carter because ill have a new baby and it makes me super sad to think he would ever feel second best but ill find a way to balance it out.
 
Were nervous too! Off on our baby moon tomorrow. Last vacation together til Dylan gets here. Not sure if our hotel has Internet though. If not, have a great week everyone!
 
Enjoy your babymoon sass! No holiday for us until Jenson is old enough im afraid,but im so excited to go on holidays as a family!

Woooo! I'm finally third trimester today and starting the home stretch! I can't wait to meet our little boy! I too have been feeling a little sad lately that it won't just be me and DH anymore,but hes been great in reasuring me that we will have so many more fantastic memories as a family :) x
 
Congrats on third Tri LP!! One week to go for me.

Sass - where are you going? My friend is in Disneyworld at the moment and keeps posting photos and I'm so jealous. I know I couldn't ride my favourite rides etc but I'd so love to be in the magic.

After 3 non stop weeks and weekends we are having a super lazy morning! Only just got out of bed and not dressed yet! Lol.

And DH and I just had sex for the first time since August. Can't believe it was that long.

I was a little worried but it was lovely and everything seems ok and Bee is dancing away so she obviously didn't mind.

Just hope I don't have any spotting over the day but we were pretty gentle so I'm hoping its all fine as I don't want a nice morning to turn into a bad thing.
 
Congrats LP! And congrats on getting your BD on cupcake. DH would kill me if I made him wait 6 months! Were leaving 11 degree weather to go sit on the each in the Dominican republic for a week. I'm a little freaked about being in a bath suit, but I'm just so excited for us to ave a nice time together. DH works 60+ hours a week, so I really miss him most of the time.
 
Ooh that'll be lovely Sass. :) Have a wonderful trip. I'm sure it'll do you both the world of good. :)
 
Have a great time Sass - super jealous! Would love to go there right now and escape the mundane world and the cold!

Just got a nappy delivery - 11 fuzzi bunz for £35 including recorded delivery. The woman selling them said they hadn't been used and I was a but dubious being so cheap but they have arrived and I've just compared them to the ones I have that have been used and new ones and they really haven't been used! An amazing bargain! 5 are blue but to be honest I really don't care if a girl wears blue! I'm not stupid enough to turn away a bargain because of potential gender colours. And I may have a boy! So nice start of the day. Got to sort lunch out now, DH is at the rugby so just me and DD. No idea what to do this afternoon though!
 
Have fun Sass!!

When does 3rd tri start? I always thought 27 weeks based off the 3rd tri forums on here but other sources are saying 28 weeks?
 
I think of 3rd Tri as 27 weeks.

As if you divide 40 (weeks) into 3 you get 13w3d so I counted 2nd Tri as 13w4d and will count 3rd as 27w0d. :)

So today's your last 2nd Tri day TTC!! :) Congrats!
