Anxious

I'm so anxious for my baby to get here. I know that everyone feels this way but this is my second pregnancy and I don't remember feeling as anxious the first time around. I'm 24+4. My due date is Christmas day. I just keep wishing time would speed up. I've had some complications and have already gone through so much during this pregnancy. I'm so eager to have her here with me.

That's funny. It was very similar for me when I found out I was preggo. I was supposed to be starting chiropractic school fall so we were trying hard not to have a baby. When I found out he asked out of the blue if I thought I could be. I freaked out. By then I was 4 days late but I had some cramping and I kept feeling like I was going to start so I wasn't too worried. He convinced me to take a test and it came out positive. I was pretty flipped out about it at first. It took me a good month or two to settle down and get on board. About 3 months into it he left me for another woman. At his point he's saying he doesn't want anything to do with the baby either. I've had some complications as well so I think the stress of everything is what is causing me to feel so anxious. I feel like I just need to have my baby here with me in order to move forward and accept everything. I do have faith in God though and I absolutely believe that he is going to bless not only my life but many others with this baby. It's just been so overwhelming. Anyways. That's my rambling. Lol. So have you started talking name at all or are you waiting until you know fr sure if it's a girl or boy?

I actually have no clue since i just really want a boy because i have a daughter already, my husband is determined that its a boy. I did the chinese gender calender which actually worked for my daughter and it says boy, also did the wives tale ring on a string test and that pointed to boy too lol. Just finding out was really wierd because before a knew I was preggo my husband out of the blue while in bed just asked me was I pregnant and i was like uhhhh no lol but i was so wrong, and then a good friend of mine was telling me about a dream she had where she was visiting someone who had just had a baby boy and she was holding him but she woke up before she could see who was in the hospital bed and when i told her i was preggo she instantly said so that was you in my dream lol. Sorry for rambling, that is a beautiful name i love it!

That's great! It definitely sounds like God's perfect timing is at work for you and your husband. So I know it's too early for you to know for sure but do you have a feeling of what you're having? I knew from the moment I found out i was pregnant that this baby was going to be a girl and it is! It wasn't so much that I was hoping one way or the other I just intuitively knew it was going to be a girl. Her name is going to be Elliana Joy.

Ive actually felt pretty good just fatigue and insomina at times, i discovered the nausea I was feeling was due soley to my prenatals which i had the same issue with my 1st pregnancy. Yes my husband is home he's been back since Oct 11, currently sceduled to go back in April and im due in April and our 4yr anniversary in April but there is still hope that he may not have to go then or go at all. I know God allowed me to get pregnant at this time for a reason and I am confident that whe wont have to go because some other options are in the works right now. Have you got a name for her yet?

How have you been feeling? Any morning sickness or anything? Is your husband home with you during this time or is he over seas?

It will go by fast, before you know it you'll be holding her then you blink once and you're planning her 1st birthday party lol they grow so fast. Now im just ready to get past this 1st trimester and start showing a bit. I wasnt able to enjoy my 1st pregnancy because i was only 19 and unmarried and not with the father, this time im trying to enjoy every second because im a 25 yr old married to a Soldier and it finally feels right this time. Congrats on your litte Princess im sure shes as anxious to meet you as you are her!

I'm already halfway through and I keep reminding myself how fast it's gone by so far.  I know the rest of it will fly by as well. This was such a huge surprise pregnancy and it's been hard physically and emotionally. I've been feeling like I'm just ready for her to be here so I can really adjust.

Pregnancy is a very anxious time, remember every pregnancy is different so you may not have been as anxious before. Just try to enjoy the time with your partner and your other child before she comes and things get a little more hectic. Im only 8wks so i feel like i have an eternity to go, im trying to be patient as much as possible but it is rather difficult
