I’ve had a couple false alarms… thought I hit it, but snapped right out of it… but today… I don’t even want to get out of bed (and I’m not bedridden)… I think it’s the inner struggle of not wanting these babies too early but wanting them out at the same time… I hurt, ach, have to pee, contract, my stomach is a freak show… and I know they mean well… but people stare… and at first I was ok with it, but today when a women came up to me as I was getting a pedicure (I was trying really to change my mood) and said “I don’t envy you” at the same moment I wanted to cry because my back was killing me sitting in the chair… if I had the energy I would have told her to *uck off… even though I know she didn’t mean it that way, it was her dumb way of sympathizing with me… I just looked at her and smiled… I couldn’t wait to get home to host my pity party… AND today my DH took my Son to Six Flags Magic Mt. I could not wait until my son was old enough to go to six flags, I LOVE roller coasters… but due to my condition… I couldn’t go… and the kicker… my husband doesn’t like roller coasters… so the pity party continues… I know in the whole scheme of things I am soooo close but every hour is painful and uncomfortable and I just want things back to normal… or as normal as it can be NOT pregnant… at least once they are out, I have people who can technically take over if I’m at my whit’s end… now no one can help… even my sweet mom who came out to get a pedicure with me… I have almost cried about 4 times today out of plain “done-ness” if that makes since… Okay I guess that enough of that… I should go back to my water drinking pity party so I can have to pee in 10 min… If you got this far… you’re a saint Elizabeth

Man, I totally understand. Lately I cry at least twice a day. I never though I would make it this far. I'm glad the babies are pretty big and healthy now but enough is enough. Every day seems like an eternity.
Girl, I have so been there. When I was pregnant I had to give up my Cedar Point tickets. DH and I had signed up to be chaperones with DD's choir adn we hadn't been to Cedar Pointe in years; it sucked! I didn't get to go last year, either, but come heck or high water I am so there in July!!! :hug99: hang in there; I'll ride one for ya
I hear ya! I about cried in the Dr.'s office yesterday sorry about today -- you've got lots of sympathy from all of us here!
Elizabeth, you are getting soooooo close!!!! Hang in there Mama!!! Less time in NICU ya know! Keep thinking that. I delivered last week at 32 weeks and 2 days. And I was feeling everything you said. But I started to cry at the Dr. office when they said I was going to deliever because I thought they were too early. All is going well right now- working on their temps, feedings and weight... but anyway, just wanted to say hang in there. I was so uncomfortable like that, so you may be very close. I know, don't people day the dumbest things sometimes!!!!!!! Well I'm glad your feet are pretty and I bet it felt nice!! When I was in the hospital, I called a place to come give me a pedicure and with tip it was $210.00!!!!! I made the mistake by telling her I'd pay whatever! Oh well, my feet needing a nice pedicure, manicure and extra massage....I got the works! Tina
I 100% remember feeling that way. Seems so long ago now. You can do this! :hug99: Don't give up hunnie, you are getting so close! :hug99:
Ahhh, Elizabeth, I'm so sorry. I'm at my wits end too. Battling the "I don't want them in the NICU, but I want them OUT!!" :lol: I've never had such back pain in my life and the contractions are God-awful!! (It's especially fun to wake up to the pain, huh?) We can do i!!! Not much longer. Didn't I read that you're not being scheduled til May? Mine just scheduled me today for April 25th!! :banana: (Just before 37 weeks) We'll see if I make it that far. Hang in there. Before you know it, you're sweet little boys will be in your arms. BTW, I saw your post about the birthstone being a diamond!!! I never even realized that!! Boy, is my hubby not gonna wanna hear that with me having 2 girls!!! LOL
Thank you every one :love0028: … Am I a little disturbed that I feel better knowing I’m not alone, because I wouldn’t wish this on anyone … Here it’s 4:30 am and had to get out of bed because I could tell I was waking DH because I couldn’t stop scratching :angry: … and that was yet another blood test (they found nothing… but that equals no cure for the itching…) I know in about a month we will all be in first year sleep deprived and having a whole new set “parties” :8714bumper: … but a day seems for ever… and it makes me cry when my DH says “Oh hun you only have 3 weeks TOPS” :icon_eek: … I reply… that statement would only be comforting if you said 3 days… BUT right now that’s too early… BUT come April 18th ish… watch out… I will start the praying and wishing to get these boys born… My DH will even get stocked in the bedroom by his plus size bride :girl_devil: (like I said a girl has to do what a girl has to do) Well I hope YOU all feel better soon, even if I don’t… good luck everyone… and thanks for coming to my party :drinks: i have to go pee now... Elizabeth
Sorry to hear you are feeling bad. But just think, you are soo close to holding your precious gems. It will all be over soon and will be worth the wait. I wish I was as far a long as you. Just remember that there is always someone else out there in a worse situation than you. Be thankful and grateful for your situation. Good Luck! Oh, you can always take all the children to Magic Mountain when the twins get a little older. I partially grew up in Los Angeles and miss Magic Mountain and Universal Studios. I love Southern California.
QUOTE(HinSD @ Apr 9 2008, 09:58 PM) [snapback]714405[/snapback] I know exactly how you feel! But now, of course, I totally miss being pregnant! I was going to say the same thing! I was worried something was wrong with me. How could I miss it when it hasn't even been four full days? Crazy, but now I realize that feeling like a sumo wrestler was normal for me. :lol: Having five children is something different entirely!
Wow- you're doing better than I ever did if you're just hitting that wall today! I hit my wall about about 30 or 31 weeks (I forget.) You are doing a great job and are so close to being done. Hang in there!!
I still have a few more weeks to go until I'm as far along as you, but I SO know what you mean. I have my own mini meltdown every couple of days. Everything hurts and aches, I need to pee every 30.9 nano seconds, my legs are going to fall off and my pelvis surely must be on either sides of the earth right now. All you have to do is colour in my belly button (well whats left of it) and my stomach could be one of Aretha Franklin's boobs. On the plus side, every day down is a day we never have to do again, and another day closer to having beautiful healthy babies.
I almost posted a similar story yesterday. It must be the week for feeling done. My poor DH yesterday, he was in the bathroom getting ready to go to take the trees to the dump when I went in and just started crying. I had tried so hard not to cry but I was tired, uncomfortable, and stressing because I am not working and am worrying about finances. I think I cried for a good 20 minutes. I had also been having a lot of contractions and cramping for the last couple of days and was just feeling done. The babies have dropped so I have to pee constantly and it hurts to walk. Needless to say, he was beside himself trying to figure out was was wrong. I felt a lot better after a good long cry and being reassured that we would be fine and that we had most likely only a couple of weeks left, which still feels like forever sometimes. Just remember that you are almost there and you will be so happy when you are done. :hug99: Jen
I totally understand how you feel, but like the other ladies said its almost over so hang in there. Big hugs to you, you can make it!!!!! :hug99:
I am so sorry!! I know it doesn't help right now but it won't be long and you will be sitting in your living room typing on first year wondering where time has gone and then on 1-4. when you have twins time flies so quick! the pregnancy lingers forever but once they are here - it will fly!! I really miss my pregnancy!
