I feel like I have way too much to do before LO gets here! So maybe my advice is to procrastinate?? I'm really, really excited to meet this LO but I would really prefer that he or she wait until 1 week of the due date. 48 more days until my due date I guess!

I think that's normal, unfortunately I was about tearing my hair out. Towards the end, I resorted to just staying in bed most of the time, napping and watching TV on my iPad. Probably not recommended necessarily, but I was too hateful to be out in the world, lol. I will say that my crankiest weeks were 35-38 and then I started to feel much better. LO came at 41.

Good luck to you! It'll be over before you know it.

ETA: we also cooked a lot of food to freeze. That helped me feel like I accomplished something useful every day.

I went nuts as well. Toward the end I was a maniac. Seriously. Lots of shopping, yummy food, manicures and pedicures is what got me through. And HELLOBEE!!!

@MrsCB: I did NOT enjoy pregnancy in the beginning. I was pretty upset about the fact that I didn't enjoy it, too, which didn't help. I just felt tired and nauseous all the time and could not imagine ever having energy again and all I could think was, I still have HOW many more months? Once I started showing, then once I felt the baby moving, and the morning sickness went away, I've been much happier. Now that it feels like a real baby, not some hypothetical cluster of cells, I react to the unpleasant parts better, like when my sciatic nerve was killing me, I actually felt like it was for the baby, not just an general unpleasant thing. So not that you will "relish" it but it will probably be better once you feel the kicking

As much as I want to meet him, I feel like there is still so much to do and I'm unprepared for his arrival!

@Mrs Hedgehog: OK. If I still had morning sickness I would TOTALLY over the whole pregnancy thing! It will all be worth it though (which of course you know already). And not too much longer before you get to meet her!
