is it august yet?

[becky85]

I know people say not to wish this time away…but I am SO BORED! I’m not actually ready for baby to arrive at all we have HEAPS still to do in terms of stuff for the house and visiting family and weddings etc and I’m really busy at work so I’m not twiddling my thumbs but I’m now 32 weeks and all I can think is that two more months feels like the longest time in the world! I can’t imagine that August will EVER be here and I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever! One of my closest friends has just had her baby and I don’t think that’s helped because it’s made me a million times more impatient. Even though I still feel ok in myself I’m finding it harder to motivate myself to keep active now although I have been doing really well until now so that makes me grumpy because I have to force myself to do it rather than enjoy it because I know it will make me feel better afterwards (which it does). I’m also not finishing work til nearly 38 weeks so I have SIX WHOLE WEEKS left at work and my head is just not in it (even though I have loads to do before handover).
Anyone else feeling like this?
Any top tips for making the next few weeks go faster or tips for distracting me so I can think about anything else for the next few weeks?

I am in exactly the same boat! 8 weeks left and 6 weeks of work. Trying to stay active and carry on as close to normal as possible but it's very hard. Mentally I'm ready to have him now! I'm very grateful to be pregnant and to have had a relatively easy pregnancy but I'm done feeling huge and stating in all the time as I'm tired. You have my full sympathy!

I feel exactly the same. And i know I shouldn't wish time away as I have 3 others to run around after so the baby will only mean more running around !! but I agree I am so tired and fed up, and all ready for baby coming got all the equipment - although haven't set some of it up yet! But hospital bag is packed and ready, and Moses basket is ready, everything is washed and put awayfor him. I do have 4 weeks left at work so that will hopefully keep me busy, also my baby shower at the weekend too so that should be fun. Hoping by time I finish work at 35 weeks I'll spend some time with the kiddies in the holidays then baby will arrive! Have it all planned out not to drag! but I bet it still does!! Roll on August!!! x x

No tips unfortunately but I'm fed up too! Excepting 4 months, I've been pregnant since October 2013 and I'm so totally done. Everything hurts, everything's uncomfortable and I can hardly do anything for myself. Physically I'm just completely on the floor and I'm done. Come on August!

I need it to slow down. Still having a few bits done to the house that is taking longer than expected xx

Ahh there isn't long to go really i know that - it's a long time though isn't it to think about very little else! We start our NCT course this evening so looking forward to that and meeting some other couples and some other mums who are due around the same time - that might help xx

I feel the same! Can't wait for our baby boy to finally be here and meet him. Fed up of not being able to get comfy when trying to sleep and also as selfish as this is I miss being able to have a drink too! Went out for a friends birthday the other week - was really good but towards the end being the only sober one was a little dull.
Becky I've been doing the NCT course and I really like them - had 2 sessions so far. Only 4 other couples on our course so really good for meeting people too! Hope you have fun xxx
