How do I deal for another 20w!!?

Question

Ok. I am 19w4d pregnant and found out on Tuesday that it's a boy. Joshua Phillip is what we're naming him. Phillip after his Father and Granddad. Well my question is.... I am so impatient, I mean yes obviously I have to wait another 4 months and 5 days but how do you just enjoy the pregnancy and be patient waiting for your baby to get here. I am just so excited to see him and hold him and have to wake up to feed and change him I just want him here. it took us 2 1/2 years to get pregnant. I have pcos so we were just so thrilled to find out. and even more thrilled to find out he is a boy. i know I HAVE to deal.... but what is a more um... I guess a more enjoyable way? lol. Thanks to all! and Congrats to all new moms and good luck to all those ttc I've been there!

Answer 1

i know how you feel! i've gone through this with both of my pregnancies when i found out what i was having.

around this time, i started buying lots of baby stuff, and getting the nursery together. i also bought a baby book and started writing notes to my baby to save in the baby book. starting to plan and buy things for the baby might help!

congrats and good luck!

Answer 2

I have BAAAAAD news ... that anxious feeling will only get worse as you are near the end ... i have 2 weeks to go and I am pulling my hair!!

The only thing that has kept me kind of sane is yahoo answers, knitting and metal embossing ... I keep trying to take up crafts to get my mind off of it ...

I'm having a son too ... and wait till you get a 3Dor 4D sonogram done and you get to see more features you will wish you had a time machine so you can speed up time ...

get some arts and crafts or something distracting or you will never survive this wait!!

Congratulations and Enjoy :)

well first off congrats with pregnancy my family has pco that runs through about every three women so i know that you were very luck in concieving. now about that baby coming. play with him. push on one spot of your belly and let him kick back. put head phones on your belly so he can listen to music. read to your baby. get little things at a time for him and set it up. read to yourself to pass by time. it goes by faster  then you think. once again congrats

Answer 4

i felt the same way you did. i have pcos and it took us 2 1/2 years to concieve. and we are also having a boy!! you just relax and enjoy yourself. trust me, as much as 5 more months sounds... it really goes by extremely quickly. best of luck.

Answer 5

hi there,im due in 9 days with my first and want her out now! mainly coz of the pain but just enjoy watching you bump grow and your body change and enjoy the feeling of his kicks getting bigger and bigger.

you have a long road ahead of you  so just relax and enjoy every moment coz once hes out hes out and that day will come :)

it gets harder and harder sorry to say and the shorter you have to go the longer it seems to be taking,good luck though :)

Answer 6

I know, I'm excited too. Really really scared, but excited. I guess doing little things every day, like organizing something in baby's room every day, or buying little baby things, cleaning things--it'll be fun and help  to pass the time a little more quickly :) Good luck and congrats!

Answer 7

Girl, I feel your pain.  I waited 8 long years for my son (after losing my first one at 19 weeks, second one at 23 weeks due to an incompetent cervix).  I conceived my son through IUI, so I have been through it too to get pregnant and stay pregnant for that matter!  I would daydream all the time and get so impatient, and I couldn't wait for him to get here so I could get up in the middle of the night and feed him and change him, etc.  I am laughing just typing that, because so many people told me to enjoy my pregnancy and be patient, because once he was here there would be days that I wish I had time to myself.  Well, there aren't that many days that I wish that, but I will have to say that there are so many times I miss being pregnant with him, and you will probably go through that too since you also had a hard time conceiving your son.  What I did while I was pregnant is I made a bunch of scrapbook pages, so they would be ready when the baby got here.  I also took a picture of my belly every week and put it in a scrapbook.  That made me enjoy my pregnancy and give me something to look forward to.  I made so many pages that I thought I would never fill them.  Well, I was wrong, it didn't take long to fill the pages, and now I have a hard time finding time to make more pages to scrapbook.  So, maybe do that!  :-)  Just remember that you waited 2 1/2 years to get him here, so what is four more months to meet that precious miracle?  :-)  Good luck!

Answer 8

I know exactly how you feel, I am 24 weeks and would love to have  my baby already, but I just keep thinking of the things I need to do first i.e. get through this semester of uni, move house, set up baby's room, relocate to the city 4 weeks before my due date. Actually thinking of all those things is stressing me out lol. AHHH I only have 12 weeks, once I move to the city for the birth then I might be a bit more patient : ) Just relax, and remember last christmas, think how quickly time has passed since then and know that the same is going to happen in the next couple of months : )

Answer 9

I feel the same exact way. I felt the first kicks a few days ago and I'm like huhhh....I'm only half way there and it feels like I've been preggo the whole year. But what I'ven been doing the last couple of days is: Started a baby registry, went looking for baby clothes, been reading a lot on labor so I'm prepared, and just finding things to do non-pregnancy related like, swimming, exercises, cleaning my house, cooking a lot more..just preparing to be the best mommy EVER!! just try to keep yourself busy with things to do, and time should pass by very quickly. Congrats!! I find out the gender in a week and a half..SO EXCITED!

Answer 10

Trust me enjoy it. after i had my son i missed being pregnant, not that i didn't enjoy having him hear but i just missed his kicks in my belly and how i felt being pregnant. not to mention i had him a month early so i didn't get to enjoy the last miserable months :) pretty soon you'll see your whole belly move and parts of his body sticking out. so you'll be enjoying that:) Once you've had him you'll probably think that the time flew by- congrats
