Q: Next Month.

So to those of you on your way right now ( Alicia Very Happy )
and even closer than me ( Danni Smile )
I may sound like an ass but I seriously had a CRAZY anxiety attack today ... at work!
Someone asked my manager when I was due and she said "next month"
I looked at her like she was nut's and then realized ... it is next month!
So yea the very end of next month, but still ... where did the time go?

I'm so excited for her, but I feel like I was 7 weeks yesterday and today there are only 7 weeks to go.
To some 7 weeks may seem like a long time ... to me It feels liek none at all, I've whizzed through pregnancy and am just ready to sit back and have it go slow like everyone says it will... but I just don't think it's gonna!

I'm not unhappy by any means, just overwhelmed, a little scared to!
Anybody else feel there heart come through their chest when they realize how little time is left until the little one comes?

dont worry, its not unusual, your life is about to change dramatically, your allowed to be scared and even to flip out a little

last sunday when i had my first contraction my breath stopped for a minute, i got scared and thought omg i cant do this, it couldnt have been long enough already

ive only got 1 week and 2 days left until her due date...if i make it that long...i wish i still had 7 weeks left, i wouldnt be so freaked out...but i cant wait to see my baby girl either and to have all this pregnancy stuff done with

how was your shower by the way (it was you who posted about having your shower a little while ago right? if not im sorry, ive had the worst memory problems lately, even worse then normal which is really bad lol)

It's not crazy it's actually perfectly normal. You'd be a little crazy not to be a little anxious. You have to worry about all this stuff so you know enough to get ready before the baby comes. It's like that nesting instinct that kicks in just before baby to make sure you have things in place before baby gets here so you can fully focus on the delivery then on taking care of your little one. I haven't reached panic mode yet but we went on the hospital tour last week and that got me feeling kinda anxious for a while. Just being in those rooms in the building we'll be in when our baby comes was kinda freaky, even though I'd been there a couple months ago. I was on a different ward then and it wasn't for delivery. I feel like the time is just whizzing by too fast!! I've got 10 weeks left now and I know they are going to fly by. I just hope that when the time comes to push baby out, I'll be able to just let go and stop trying to plan and control (not that I have much choice.)

Shocked

I'm so excited and kinda freaked out!! I hope your anxiety doesn't get in the way of you enjoying the rest of your pregnancy. Good luck.

Thanks guy's ... It's just nice to know other's feel that way too.

Alicia- Yep! that was me! The baby shower went amazing, I should have pic's soon, but a lot of them didn't turn out good because it was a young girl (haven't got a clue who she was Laughing ) That took the pic's with my cousin's camera and she wasn't using it properly, It's a digital and she just kept clickling and clicking... instead of pressing and holding. I was quite upset, but my friends may have some pics ... hopefullly decent ones because you just know they're getting posted all over facebook!

I got EVERYTHING. Seriously before the shower I had my bassinet, a few things of clothes and some towels... Now I don't need anything. I truly got spoiled rotten... well I guess the baby did... So that was nice, although I felt so weird with all those presents! opening them in front of everyone killed me!

anyways thanks for asking... I'll post the pic's as soon as I see some decent one's! Smile
