I regret that I gave my nesting to my job. I was lucky enough though that I did get a few days to myself before she got here! Just know that you will have time to slow down when she gets here and all that work you put in will be the last thing on your mind! Enjoy her while she is little and cuddly!:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-little-cheated#post-1822405 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 20:16:04 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1822405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I was so sick for several weeks that I hated every minute of it. So I felt SO guilty that I wasn't enjoying it, rather despising it--after wanting a baby so badly for so long. So that's the flip side, and know us mamas will always find a reason to be hard on ourselves. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-little-cheated#post-1822336 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:30:52 +0000 catomd00 1822336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally understand - I was so sad for so long that dd came two weeks early and I was cheated out of those weeks! I really think no matter how much time you spend relishing in and enjoying it, at the end of the day it flies by and you feel sad one ey or another. Congrats on your upcoming arrival! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-little-cheated#post-1822087 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:52:35 +0000 MoonMoon 1822087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, I understand what you're feeling! If it helps you feel better, almost everyone I've spoken to, no matter how their pregnancy went, expressed the feeling of time flying by. After the baby is born, pregnancy feels like such a fleeting moment! Nevertheless, you get a new baby to enjoy, and the satisfaction that comes with your job that you love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-little-cheated#post-1821973 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:34:08 +0000 Mrs tartan 1821973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly I'd prefer to look at it like how lucky you are that you have taken pregnancy in your stride and been able to work so late. So many ladies struggle with pregnancy, illness, sickness, tiredness,medical issues, bed rest etc, that I'd like to think you are lucky instead :)<br /> I've two weeks between work finishing and baby due date, I feel this is waaay long enough to look at clothes and think about names. For me, being off work before baby is over rated, I like to keep busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-little-cheated#post-1821664 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 13:34:04 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1821664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent the last few months of my last pregnancy (DD) desperately trying to find a bank to help us close on our house so I feel your pain! I felt like all I was doing was going going going, calling banks or bank representatives, making sure paperwork was gathered, signed, scanned, and emailed... I kept thinking "Just wait until we close, just wait until we close, we're so CLOSE just wait until we closed." Thankfully, she listened and was born just a few days after but seriously, it was touch and go there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-little-cheated#post-1821609 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 13:14:05 +0000 swurlygurl 1821609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due on Friday (YAY!) but have spent the last 2 months SO busy at work. It's actually been great, despite working 60+ hour weeks, because I'm *finally* at a job I love, making progress in my career. I look forward to coming to work every Monday and am more than happy to put in the extra hours. I even feel really bad that I'm leaving my team in the last month of our busy season to have the baby!<br /> I have 2 really big proposals due this week (the last one is on my due date!) so I've been adamant that this baby doesn't come until Friday. After, that she can come whenever. The weeks have FLOWN by, like I have never experienced. I wake up to Monday and go to bed to a Friday evening. It's just bizarre.<br /> Again, I haven't minded this one bit, and am actually enjoying myself. However, now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I'm pretty sad that I'm going to have almost zero time to enjoy this pregnancy :( The first two months were super stressful because I was unemployed and looking for a job, and now the last 2-3 months I've been in survival mode at work. I haven't nested at all, haven't spent any time looking at cute baby clothes or organizing her closet.Hardly spent any time thinking about names with DH (she still doesn't have a name), and just in general haven't spent much time focused on the pregnancy at all. Now that I'm so close and could have her any second, I'm getting really sad that it's almost over :(</p> <p>No point, just wanting to vent and see if anyone else experienced the same thing! :) </p>
