    This past weekend I feel like have hit a brick wall emotionally and physically. We had people staying with us and im sure that contributed to it some. This weekend i became more uncomfortable then i have in the past.. I'm 32 weeks and at 31wks i was measuring 37 not huge but still pretty large...Saturday i spent most of the day in bed because somebody had moved completely under my rib cage and it was soo uncomfortable that i couldn't even sit down I had to stand which only works for about 15 min before my feet start to swell or lay down.. Previously my physical complaints previously haven't been too bad.. I have felt pretty good for carrying these 2 girlys around, but I have started to get really tired and run down.. I feel like i did in my 1st trimester.. I just want to lay around and do nothing, oh and sleep.. Which really isn't condusive to getting stuff done that i need to. I need to finish up the laundry for the girls, go and go shopping for the things for my hospital bag, and just things like that....

    Emotionally i feel about the same.. Esp this weekend.. I just feel done, but then on the other hand I know they still need to cook longer.. and the last 5 weeks seems like it is coming all to quickly then im ready for... Im more emotional then i have been in a long time, I cried the other day because i had to get up at 7 and it was such a struggle for me that i just kept crying.. Im worried that I will miss some sign that i need to go to L&D or call my dr and that something is goign to happen to them.. I don't have any apts this week, but next week i have an u/s with my peri(my last one there) and it has been 3 weeks since i have seen them on u/s and i worry terribly... I know that once i start my 2x week monitoring im sure i will feel better but still i am anxious..

    Thanks for letting me vent some..
    Just seems like all of a sudden it has started to hit me..

    It is a hard time right now; you're so close to being done, and yet you still have several weeks to go. Hang in there!! It's great that you can vent here and we do understand how frustrating and hard it can be. Once the babies get here, you will wonder where the time went!! Don't feel guilty for resting, you need it. If things have to wait so you can rest, let them. There will be little rest had when they come, so rest up now!!

    Just wanted to send a big :hug: your way. Those last few weeks are so physically & emotionally draining. Hang in there & just do what you can to make yourself comfortable & happy.

    I felt just like you when I hit 32 wks. Up til then I was doing pretty good, but then, BAM! I really started feeling like I hope the end comes soon. Hang in there, and just think about making it one more week. If I think about being pregnant 4 more wks, I want to cry, But I know I can get through one more week, and next week it will be the same.

    The holidays have made me feel similar and I have A LOT longer to go! I agree with the one week at a time process, and it sounds like you are doing great just focus on the end result!!! Good uck and keep us posted!

    Tomorrow I hit my 27th week...and I feel the same way. I feel like a wimp for hitting this wall so soon, but I hope after having two weeks off for Christmas, I am ready to head back to work for a little while longer. I teach 7th grade, and after being up before 6am and then home at 5pm chasing after my 3 1/2 year old, I am just whipped. Our twin pregnancy came as a 40th birthday surprise, so I am sure age is a factor for me. I am proud of you for hanging in there so strong...you inspire me to keep going. Just remember, it is good to listen to your body! That is advice I intend to take-and soon I may ask my Dr. about staying home.

    I have the EXACT due date you do.... Let me tell you the past few days I been feeling horrible. I have an almost 3 year old that wakes me up at like 6am every morning. Being as though I can hardly sleep at night.... It just kills me. Im almost done potty training her, that was my goal before the girls are born. I know what you mean about feeling like you have so much to do. I am moving in about a couple weeks so with that Christmas, packing, potty training I FEEL LIKE IM GOING NUTS! But I know I need to hang in there. :rolleyes: You can make it! :hug:

    Its nice to know I am not alone. I think its hard to be so pg with the holidays and house guests too!! I am having house guests and my shower next weekend. I am hoping my Dr puts me off work this week. I am so done and yet I have so much further to go! I think you are doing great. I hope you feel "better" soon.
