I am almost in my 3rd trimester, and as of tomorrow exactly 3 months away from my due date!!! Problem is, I get sooo anxious and excited, nervous, etc, and I don't know how to handle it for 3 whole months!! Anyone have some tips to make the time fly by?? I feel like the days are getting slower and slower!! I just don't know how to cope with the wait, this same thing happened with my son as well. It felt like those 3 months were the longest of my life!
i guess you could start getting ready and make a baby scrapbook start by adding pics of you when pregnant and add a letter to baby before born pictures of the family stuff like that so and keep adding stuff after the baby is born and through the years! could be fun! N time consuming!
I just play Xbox. Lol. A new DLC just came out for my game and Ive been playing that lol. Im 33 weeks.
That's a realllly good idea lol! I want to get one sooo bad! We are having to buy another car in a few weeks though & still have some baby-related expenses, so I don't know when ill be able to get one :(
Quoting MiSs.SmOkEy:

I like making crafts that is the only thing that will keep me sane. I am at 28 weeks so I know what you are talking about. It's just amazing though how quickly that time flies by and all of a sudden you are giving birth. I also have 2 sons so I think they are helping to make the time fly. I have days though where all I can think about is what this little girl is going to look like and how much her big brothers are going to love her.
Hang in there before you know it you will be hearing that baby crying for the first time.
That's exactly what happened to me! Lol! I hit the 3rd trimester and BAM! Time stopped. Try to keep busy: get everything ready for the baby, hang out with friends (or if you're like me-your mom. lol!), walk, etc. I also made a list of other days to use as milestones. Examples of what I have left are the first day of spring, midwife appointments, my daughter's heart appointment, Easter, they day I hit full-term, etc. Sometimes it helps and sometimes not. But either way it's satisfying when I can cross one more milestone off the list. Lol!
Just keep reminding yourself that your little one is too little to come out and play. Try to enjoy sleeping through the night because once that baby is here you can kiss those days goodbye.
On a side-note, my sister-in-law is due a day before you, today they measured her baby at 2.3 pounds. Her baby has a birth defect and is being very closely monitored.
I worked up until 3 weeks before my due date. I would have kept working until maybe a week before but hubby wanted me to quit since my tummy was starting to finally get bigger and I worked in a busy restaurant and was constantly getting bumped and ran into. I am the most impatient person and yet my pregnancy flew by especially the last trimester. I was sad when I went into labor almost because I loved being pregnant (ok and I was a little scared...LOL).
My best advice is to just stay super busy. I had Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years in my last trimester so they also kept me busy plus it is the busiest season for a waitress. Good Luck
just don't think about it. lol. one day hubby and i were driving to walmart and it hit me! "oh shit! i am getting induced tomorrow!" it totally caught me off guard. i try to put things out of my mind. maybe because i am a pessimist. i try not to think of good things and i dont get my hopes up,lol
