I want to meet the little guy already!!! Ofcourse I don't want to go into premature labor or anything like that and being pregnant in itself is an AMAZING experience but a part of me wishes my due date was TOMORROW! I don't look forward to the pain-lol-but I am beside myself waiting to lay eyes on this little guy!!!!:7

Any other expectant moms feel the same way?

Have a great work out!

Aw, Wendy, that is so sweet!

I am not even preggers yet but I am still so anxious about it all. I can not wait to see that positive test and then I can not wait to meet my little one after that.

We have waiting so long to start even trying that now I am being incredibly impatient :)

I would assume that you should just try and enjoy every minute of the pregnancy because once he comes, there is no turning back. Enjoy!
 
I know how you must feel. When my DH and I started deciding when a good time would be to start trying for our first child, I was almost INSTANTLY impatient and couldn't wait for the time to come! LOL As it turns out we decided to try earlier than originally planned so that made it a little easier on me. :)

Good luck getting pregnant! I hope it happens quickly for you! :+

Have a great work out!

Hi Wendy,

I think I understand what you are feeling. I usually get that feeling more around month 7/8, but it's that longing just to hold your baby and get to know him/her. All I can say is try your hardest to enjoy this stage of your life. Pregnancy moves quickly and soon your baby will be here. Try to enjoy your extra free time and solid nights of sleep. Soon, it will be much different. :) He'll be here before your know it, I promise!

It won't be long now for you!!! Hang in there -

Also, I wanted to say that I am so proud of you for STOPPING smoking (hopefully, for life) Be proud of yourself everyday.
 
Daisy,

Time is going by much faster than I thought that it would since I have been pregnant so I'm sure I'll be holding my little boy sooner than I imagine! Being pregnant has been an amazing "journey" for me...it has it's downside as there are so many possible "side effects" of it but feeling the baby when it moves makes it all so worth it!:)

Heather,

My sleep has already been impacted for the worse for a couple of months now :-( so I'm getting practice for when my little guy
comes!:) lol I can't seem to sleep comfortably for very long so I toss and turn all night and I am forever getting up to pee! I may be so anxious this early on because it's my first baby...with #2, this feeling may not surface as quickly...time will tell...:+

Have a great work out!

Jenni-

TY on the smoking thing but I must admit it's because of my DH.

I was sooo hooked on the habit that I wasn't neccessarily gonna quit before I got pregnant. I was gonna try but as far as I was concerned, if it didn't happen, it didn't happen and we'd get pregnant anyway. Well, my DH wasn't going for that (and looking back I'm very thankful for that!)so it came down to I quit smoking or we don't start a family. If it wasn't for that, I highly doubt I could have quit successfully. I had tried several times before and failed.

I still believe in smokers rights and probably always will but I am still so glad, personally, that I quit before I got pregnant!

Have a great work out!

I remember feeling the same way with my first pregnancy. I'm sure I will feel the same with this one as well. Just make sure you enjoy the moment. There is nothing like the feel of the little one moving inside. I didn't relish it as much as I should have, maybe because DS didn't move very much and the only time to notice he was moving was when I was completely still trying to monitor him.

Right now I am wishing my 1st trimester away so I can start hearing a heartbeat at my next dr appts.

May is just around the corner. You will be surprised how quickly it will be here.

By the way, Congrats on almost 1 full year without a cigarette! That is quite an accomplishment.
 
Wendy-I say that I can't wait to finally meet our son at least 3 times each day (and think it almost all the time). I have about 8 short weeks to go, and each day is getting a little harder. I am sleeping better now, but every once in a while, I also have a rough night of sleep. At least, now, when I get up to pee, I can navigate through the hall with my eyes closed, pee and get back into bed and back to sleep. But, some nights, I just lay awake and wonder what life is going to be like in 8 weeks (or whenever he decides to come) and what he will look like, etc. and I have a hard time going back to bed. It will be here sooner that we know!

I keep having strange dreams too, like I forget to feed the baby and other strange stuff. Everyone at work says that is normal to have screwed up dreams. Our minds are going in every direction!

Yes-savor those quiet moments, like when you and your DH go out to eat or just have some time alone. Because, in a few short months, those will be few and far between.

Take care!

Hi Jen,

In the beginning of my pregnancy I didn't just have "strange" dreams...I was having NIGHTMARES every night for quite a while! It was rather horrible!

Things in that dept have settled down though...probably coz I don't sleep long enough at one time to really have a dream at this point. lol

So I registered at Babies R Us last night...such fun!!! It was so nice to pick out all of that baby stuff! :+ Made me even more impatient about having him! lol

Have a great work out!

I can kind of relate but I'm also really, really nervous about having a newborn again. L&D is also starting to freak me out... I was "OK" 'till I started buying baby stuff. Then the nerves set in.:(

I remember with my first baby that I would go into her nursery and take all of her newborn clothes and spread them all over the floor, then try to imagine a baby inside them all. It was very exciting anticipating her arrival, and being so curious about what she was going to actually look like. Then, before I knew it, all those clothes were being put away into storage because she'd outgrown them all! It's amazing how fast it all goes.

Cheers,

Hi Sandra,

I'm sure it goes by so fast! My pregnancy is flying by so I can imagine how time flies once you finally have the baby! They don't stay little for long so you have to cherish every moment you have when they are little....I can't wait to be able to count the 10 little fingers and toes! :)

Have a great work out!

Michele,

I can relate...I am deathly afraid of holding a baby under 6 months old!!! I have done it...how can I not with 6 nieces and nephews! lol But it freaks me out! I am gonna have to be getting over my fear really fast!!! lol

I try not to think about labor and delivery. I don't know what to expect since I have never been through it before. I can't base it on what others say coz everyone is different. I have heard the "horror" stories as well as the stories that make it sound like a walk in the park...so who knows what I am in for....!?!?

Have a great work out!

wendy,

i think this is very common esp. for a first time mother. we love our growing child so much already that we can't wait to hold them. the only thing that keeps me patient is knowing they have to stay inside me long enough to be healthy!

congratulations on quitting smoking. major accomplishment!
 
Sunny,

Waiting has been the hardest part of pregnancy so far for me! It seems at every turn I am "waiting" for something else to happen and I want it all to happen so fast that so my little boy can be born already! lol

:) :) :)

Have a great work out!
