When I got pregnant with this one, there was a lot of disbelief, but mostly that this was going to work out as I'd lost two before this one. As time went by, I became more comfortable with it. Now, most of my freak outs come from realizing that in 9 weeks this little girl is going to be here - I'm going to have an actual baby and I'm going to have to figure out life with three kids! Buying stuff for baby and doing things like putting the crib together is helping make it more real. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't just freak out the other day when I saw a patient with her 1 year old daughter toddling down the hall and I had this moment where I went "Holy shit, that's going to be me in a year." It was like I was so focused on getting through this pregnancy that I hadn't stopped to consider what life was going to be like with a new baby.
^^^ This! I was commenting this morning to DH about being out of breath on the stairs and he said, "when do you start 3rd trimester?" Um...two weeks ago!
I feel surprised at how fast this pregnancy is going. I feel like I haven't really paid much attention to the fact that it's getting so close.
Speaking of out of breath, it is impressive how much I cannot breathe now compared to like a week ago! I feel like her foot is on my lung squishing it. Haha. I completely understand.
add me to the list. I live on the third floor and when I finally get in in so out of breath. But I don't mind, in sure it's good for me to go up and down stairs. I'm just shocked at how much out if breath I am.
I'm shocked I'm having a girl. I mean, I'm excited but it's been super hard to start shopping and working on the nursery. The only thing I have brought so far are hair bows. :/
I guess I'm just trying to get used to all the girl stuff. This may sound silly but I'm being so serious. I need to get it together!
I keep going back and forth with "holy crap this is happening" to almost forgetting I'm pregnant.
We went through so much crap to have our first, so when #2 and now #3 didn't need any 'help'... I mean, I look at YDS and still can't believe he is mine and he is 3!
I wouldn't say it is shock, so much, as it is surreal and unbelievable. If that makes sense? I also can't believe I'll have a squishy newborn in about 10 weeks!
DS - Alexander, b. 10/22/08, our 'went to hell and back IVF Miracle' DS - Andrew, b. 9/15/11, our 'holy shit we have a bed baby' baby DD - Adrianna, b. 5/8/15, our 'lightening strikes twice' baby
Not really in shock about being pregnant.. More so in shock that I'm at 30 weeks and the time has flown by.. Holy crap I have about 10 weeks left, then I have to adjust life to caring for another person.

Well said! After coming off a pregnancy loss, I tend to focus so much on the pregnancy, and then all of a sudden it's like wham! I'm going to have a newborn in a few months!!
If you would of asked me that question at 10 weeks pregnant I would of stuttered my response in shock still. But fast forward to 29 weeks, and the kicks to my ribs and sides, no I'm not shocked. Just uncomfortable and thinking about the next 10 weeks of getting bigger when I already feel like a whale!!
I am still a little surprised by it sometimes, but mostly I keep forgetting that i may be feeling a certain way because of being pregnant. Like, when I saw my chubby face in the mirror I was like "Wha the, huh?!" and then I remembered...or, if I feel extra tired I run through the reasons "I didn't sleep great, DD's were testy this morning, I swam a mile yesterday....oh yeah!!! I'm pregnant!"
