My due date is luckily about 6 weeks after the semester ends...but then I have to go back to school at 6 weeks post-partum. YIKES. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505447 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:04:09 +0000 dagret 505447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: well, if nothing else it will keep you busy! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505444 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:03:06 +0000 maybebaby 505444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: that's just like me. graduation may 18, due date a week later! this should be VERY interesting :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505431 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:57:47 +0000 littlek 505431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hang in there! I personally really enjoyed pregnancy and was very disappointed when my LO came at 34 weeks. Just remember every week inside you, your LO gets stronger and that you are doing a great job growing your LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505429 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:57:08 +0000 dagret 505429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: oh, definitely! hers was pretty difficult b/c the end of her semester nearly collided with her due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505424 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:55:31 +0000 maybebaby 505424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: Ditto. Are you writing a thesis? This should be fun--we can cheer each other on :)</p> <p>@dagret: Meh, it may be but a little baby is at the end of this crazy tunnel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505419 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:51:52 +0000 dagret 505419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: @maybebaby: one of my best friends was in her final semester of grad school when she was pregnant. She says it was terrible. Hang in there ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505410 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:44:20 +0000 Bookish 505410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: I'm not the only crazy person out there?! This makes me happy. Everyone looks at me with googly eyes when I tell them I do work + grad school + have baby on the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-505294 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:05:19 +0000 maybebaby 505294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: In a similar boat as you! Work is crazy, starting my last semester of grad school and 22 weeks pregnant. He can't come now, but I am SO excited to meet him. Luckily work and school need to be finished before I can move on to the next chapter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504905 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:40:42 +0000 loveisstrange 504905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: No problem. I thought pregnancy was awful. Elizabeth Banks in What to Expect When Youre Expecting? That was me. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504888 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:34:22 +0000 Bookish 504888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Thank you for saying that :) I hate being pregnant, I really do, but everyone who isn't pregnant expects me to be sunshine and butterflies about it! I needed that this morning, thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504883 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:31:30 +0000 loveisstrange 504883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, you don't have to ENJOY pregnancy. I was miserable and hated being pregnant.</p> <p>It does seem to drag, but it'll be over before you know it. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504876 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:26:44 +0000 dagret 504876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh boy, if you feel impatient now...I don't know how you'll get through to the end! I'm 38 weeks and only now starting to feel impatient, which seems crazy to me, because we tried for almost 2 years. So I've been waiting for a child for almost 3 years now and you wouldn't think the last few weeks would seem so long... I agree with the suggestions to work on the nursery and registry. At this point I don't have much left to distract me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504641 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 00:11:14 +0000 shopaholic 504641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started feeling that way around 28 weeks. When I realized just how looong I've been pregnant now! Even though I know it's in baby's best interest to stay put and keep growing on the inside, some days I feel like, "okay, come on out anytime now!"<br /> But I like @Smurfette:'s suggestions on working on the nursery and registry. And also DH and I are cherishing our alone time while we can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504558 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:39:49 +0000 Bookish 504558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... I'm 14 weeks and I already feel that way. Is that terrible? Between work being stupid stressful, starting up a new semester of grad school, and having the worst headaches of my life a few days a week, I'm about to lose it. I don't know how I'm going to do 6 more months of this :/ Hopefully the anatomy scan at 20 weeks will put some renewed happiness into me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504502 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:09:20 +0000 Smurfette 504502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: hang in there!! Could you do baby prep stuff like nursery and registry to help "pass" the time?</p> <p>I am 31 weeks and while I can't wait to meet her, I also want her to stay in there for a bit. I want to enjoy all the time with DH just the two of us. Although I will say I just told DH I am not sure I can do 9 more weeks of lower backs like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504283 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:20:20 +0000 aprk 504283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally hear you! This is tough work. I am 30 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-impatient#post-504256 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:07:41 +0000 lomom 504256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 23 weeks and while I definitely DON'T want LO to come now, I want him to come full-term, I am a bit restless. </p> <p>I'm getting kinda tired of being pregnant. I'm trying to remind myself that this might be my only pregnancy and to try to fully enjoy each day, but I still feel a little restless at times. </p> <p>It's tax season now and the hours are getting longer and I'm frustrated because my energy isn't what it used to be and I need to limit caffeine and make healthier food choices, which is hard. </p> <p>I just want to meet my baby!! I feel like the big milestones have passed, like the anatomy scan, and it's just week after week now. I'm definitely trying to make a point to do stuff that'll be harder once he's here, like sleep in on Sundays and be a lazy bum at times. And I remind myself that I need to enjoy this time because my life will never be the same. But I'm still impatiently awaiting his arrival!!</p> <p>Anyone else feel this way? </p>
