I'm almost 33 weeks, and its like...from 20-30 weeks flew by, but all of a sudden it just stops lol, I'm going crazy. Not that I hate being pregnant, I love it actually, besides feeling like crap I love it that is. I'm just super excited! What are you guys doing to make the time go by faster? I just made a birth plan, and I'm thinking about packing my bags lol.

I'm a few days shy of 30 weeks and time has already stopped. The whole pregnancy flew til just recently. I'm SO READY for her to come out. haha. Sigh, only 10 more weeks. Good luck to you


Rachel - March 30th, 2007 7:21 PM

Good luck to you too!

hmmm I know how you feel... I feel like every day draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggs on and on!! Sorry ready for this to be over... I HATE being pregnant but I am soooo excited to meet my little girl. I try to pass time by keeping busy with projects.. organizing the baby's room and clothes, baking meals for the freezer for after the baby is born, working on house projects, as soon as it gets warm I am going become a landscaper and revamp our whole yard ( we just bought this house a few months ago and there isn't one flower in the whole yard...) Of course all these "projects" entail spending money... but I have to do something or I will go insane!!!!! 9 weeks till due date!!!!



Rachel - March 30th, 2007 10:45 PM

Thats good that you can keep busy, I've been trying not to think about it cuz I have a 1 year old too, and picking up after him keeps me busy enough lol.

Rachel, I don't know if this is your first baby or not, but it is, and you're already on maternity leave - ENJOY the time going by slowly!!!! Sleep in every day, lay around the house and relax, take a warm bubble bath every night. My first baby is 6 weeks old now - and the time has FLOWN!!!! I am so exhausted, and wish I could go back to sleeping in the last 2 weeks before she was born!!! Congrats and good luck!! :)


Rachel - April 1st, 2007 1:55 AM

I actually have a 1 year old, he's a handful and he's sick right now so that keeps me busy. I'm not going on maternity leave for a little while yet, so I'm still working. I know after I have her I'll miss being pregnant lol!

I know how you ladies feel. I am two weeks from my due date and so over this pregnancy. I am still working full time but the weeks still go by so slow. my dd is getting really fed up with waiting for her baby brother to arrive too. She was yelling at my belly last night telling him to come out lol.......it was too cute. (she is 3). I really dont have any tips to pass the time, sorry.

I think the time goes slower at the end of pregnancy so that you are a little bit prepared for the arrival of the little one. When they get here they don't rush about their business. They just sleep, need to get their wind up, wee, poo, and so on. After a while they gather a little speed and start to cry and that. Just enjoy the magic. Take it as it comes. Pack those bags, I had two massive ones and it was great fun packing them. A lot of the stuff turned out to be useless, but I still had all the fun doing the shopping and the packing with my husband! We had a little boy called Harry-Joe and he was 16 weeks yesterday. Are you going to breast feed?


Cad0587 - April 1st, 2007 10:56 PM

I'm only 28 weeks and time has just stopped. But I'm not rushing it because we are sooo not prepared, we have bought NOTHING. We really have to get on the ball so I welcome the next couple of weeks haha.


Rachel - April 2nd, 2007 2:47 AM

Well, good luck to everybody, at least I'm not the only one going crazy with excitement! It's 2am here and I just got done cleaning the whole kitchen, do you guys get that too? That crazy urge to clean your whole house lol


jessica72 - April 2nd, 2007 5:22 AM

Oh yeah...it started about week 30 (I'm now week 35) I started going nuts cleaning and organizing the house. I had a whole week off for spring break and the house never looked better. Now I get ancy when I can't find a project around the house. Ask me how many times I've folded the baby's clothes and organized the shelfs....Still working does help the time go bay faster, though.


Kristin11 - April 2nd, 2007 5:59 AM

Oh yeah i got the super cleaning mode a few weeks ago. Last weekend i started cleaning the house and kicked my hubby and dd out and had to clean from top to bottom, I was just a bit crazy lol.


singlem0m - April 2nd, 2007 4:13 PM

HAHAHA yeah that happens. Especially if you go overdue. But like MommyMeg said, once that baby is here time will FLY by. Just try to hang in there, I know its hard to say when you're wanting to see your adorable baby.


ejmeskan - April 2nd, 2007 4:16 PM

I swear I feel like I have been in nesting mode since like 20 weeks!! :) I am a big organizer but have just wanted everything to be perfect. Now I have 7 weeks to go and need to reorganize everything for a second time! ha!! I am in the LOVE to clean mode and Jessica- I get the same way if I don't have a project at home...I just go nuts wanting to do something!


laurenl - April 3rd, 2007 1:26 PM

I'm 35 weeks and the time went by so slow up until about the last couple of weeks. From about 26 weeks till 32, it drug by. Now, I think it's going by pretty fast. I'll probably eat my words now and it'll drag again. And I wish I would get into that nesting phase. I have yet to hit that one. I HATE to clean!!! Let me stress that....I HATE TO CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


kady - April 4th, 2007 1:21 PM

I'm 38 weeks and time has completely stopped I feel like I'm going crazy .I have had it I can't sleep I have to pee every 5 minute my belly is huge I'm a tiny person so my poor little body can't take no more.
