I am 39 weeks and my due date is sunday. Imagine how I feel! I feel like I have been pregnant FOREVER!!!!! : )

It's so hard to live in the moment and enjoy pregnancy. You are at the best part though too! So just do your best. Congratulations!

I know what you mean, I really don't want her to come early but I also wish I could FFWD to week 40. Especially after 20 weeks when there aren't too many more "milestones" as far as scans and such. Some things I am looking forward to while I pass the time are planning some sort of special date night with my husband before we become a family of 3, spending time on the baby's room, and taking care of business like the hospital tour.

Normal! I think after like 35 weeks I was just so done! It was so uncomfortable!

@blackbird: Glad I'm not the only one whose not liking pregnancy the second time around. Having morning sickness with a toddler was so tough. Now, it's just exhaustion that makes it so much harder than the first time around when I could be lazy without worry. We're only planning two, so I should enjoy this pregnancy more, but I'm just okay with it and worried for how it will be with two kids.

@cascademom: yeah we are wanting at least one more so i hope the next ones not as rough! Plus they'll be a little older...

@blackbird: @cascademom: My pregnancies can't compare to how rough yours have been (no morning sickness), but this second pregnancy gig is still rough. I'm having a way tougher time with discomfort, severe lack of energy, etc. this time around than I ever did with E. Maybe the first pregnancy just saps all your resources and reserves...

The newborn stage wasn't my total favorite, so I waffle between "you! get here now!" to "you are portable, you eat, you sleep...ehhhhh, you can stay".

I'm excited to meet the twins but not wanting the process to speed up at all. I love enjoying the quality time with my son and I know once the twins get here my life will be turned upside down. Plus not knowing if they'll come at 28 weeks or 38 weeks is surprise enough.

@Espion: We are still undecided about a second, but I started enjoying our first soooo much more once he learned how to crawl (just before seven months). He can explore so much more independently, and he is so excited about everything. It's a lot more fun than even three or four months old. Plus, it's fun to feed him solids!

@blackbird: @Espion: This pregnancy, I'm just so tired plus the morning sickness. I feel like I don't have time to be lazy when I need to worry about LO's needs. At least, I know that the newborn phase sucks and what to expect with it. My parents' next door neighbor was hilarious about her second's arrival. She had to be induced, so she's like "keep him in there awhile longer since I know it's going to be more work."
