Sorry girls, but I just needed to vent...and hopefully one of you can say that you understand how I'm feeling! I don't know if it's the lack of sleep or good ol' pregnancy hormones finally getting the better of me, but I'm really close to flipping out. So here goes...

I hate holding my breath every morning waiting for Nick to give me a couple of kicks to let me know he's ok. I hate it when he has a lazy day and I my kick counts take 30 minutes instead of 5-10 minutes. I hate that our house is a complete disaster and that I've been begging my husband to bleach our shower grout for the past 6 months and since he STILL hasn't done it, I'm going to have to ask my friend to come over and do it for me. I hate that the baby's room isn't close to being done. I hate that I can't eat/drink what I want. I hate that I'm outgrowing yet another size of maternity pants.

I'm also scared to death that something is going to happen to Nick before he gets here. I know that this doesn't happen often and I don't have any risk factors like some of you other ladies who have every right to be worried about something happening, which makes me feel guilty. I just want him to get here safe & healthy...before his momma loses her mind!

Thanks for listening ladies...

Oh HUGS!!! I've had days where I could have written that very post. Only replace the grout with any number of other things, like change the kitty litter - hello, I CAN'T. Urg.
The worry is normal. I worried until I was holding Ella. I was down right afraid at times. Am this time too.
HUGS HUGS HUGS hang in there hun!

I know I'm certainly to the point of needing major stress control, so I can relate. Her movements have slowed down and I know it's because she's running out of room, but how can you not think th worst, even in the back of your mind, you know? I know it's of little consolation right now, but this will all be over in about 6 weeks time for you. I have to tell myself that every single day..."only x days to go." Hang in there.

Hang in there!! It's completely normal to be having worries about Nick! I'm the same way....I think it's just human nature.
You'll be holding him before you know it!
I can relate with the other added stress too. I'm having such a hard time trying to keep my house in order and DH is no help what so ever .... URGHH!!! A pregnant woman can only do so much!
Try to take it easy over the coming weeks....everything will fall into place

Hugs!!! I am totally the same way. You are not alone. Hang in there momma you are almost done and you are doing a great job!! Little Nick wants to be here just as much as you want him. Hang in there!

I dont think theres a girl on here that can tell you she doesnt have the same worries / stress. I know I def. do! I am always so paranoid and lately Ive been feeling worse because Ive been so overwhelmed with all these other things that I havent even really had the time to worry about the baby.. which makes me feel worse. But I can tell you that for Haizy I was the same way.. especially toward the end, it just got worse. This pregnancy I had my doubts/fears in the begining. I honestly didnt expect to even get this far..

I feel ya girl! I am fat, in pain, hormonal, and utterly miserable. When things aren't getting done I just plain flip out.

My dog threw up yesterday, which she does all the time, but it was right on top of my favorite blanket on the couch and I was not happy. Instead of being worried if she was ok I just got all disqusted and put her in the kitchen. It was so gross! I just don't have the patience I used to right now!

Thank goodness my DH got sick of getting his head bitten off and now does what I ask him to do. I break it up into a few tasks per weekend and say that they all must be complete before the weekend ends. He can choose exactly when to do them. We had a huge list before, but it was too overwhelming, so I broke it up into chunks based on priority. Maybe you can try giving your hubby a specific time to bleach the grout. That's what works with mine. "So, you don't look to busy... how about bleaching that grout now" *Smile sweetly* I used to get mad at my hubby, but then I found these kinds of approaches worked with him, maybe you'll see similar results.
