I completely understand where you are coming from. Mostly, I just want to meet my daughter and hold her in my arms. I simply worry too much about what might go wrong and the sooner I reach my due date, the better!
Hahaha....I think you'll find once the baby comes instead of people only wanting to talk about your pregnancy they will only want to talk about your new baby! Your life/job/family will still be forgotten for a while :-) I do wish it was 6 months too, 9 months is a very very long time to be pregnant, although it gives you plenty of time to prepare properly. The one thing I am sick of the most is not having to talk about it, but people thinking that I am no fun - assuming that because I am pregnant I don't want to leave the house. I have found invites out to things have decreased dramatically, and I have become an organiser of events/lunches etc, which I was not before.
