How Far Along Are You? 31w1d.

What's Up Physically This Week? I got a new kind of pain last night... I would fall asleep on my left side, wake up, and my left hip would be killinggg me. So I'd turn on my right side, wake up, and my right hip would be hurting. :( I had to keep cracking my hips. And I couldn't even sleep on my back for some relief, ugh! Pillow between the legs didn't help either! At least I'm still sleeping like a rock aside from the time I need to switch sides.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Really anxious for her to be here, to the point where I'm getting frustrated. I watched a birth video the other day and started crying as soon as the baby was born. Usually when I cry watching those kinds of videos it's because I'm thinking, "Aww what a beautiful baby/birth." This time I found myself saying, "I want MY little girl to be here!!!" I literally am jealous when I see other moms with their babies... I feel like I'm going crazy. My gut feeling is that it's too good to be true and I will never get to see my little girl kicking and crying after birth... like I will lose her somehow. I wish I could just. stop. thinking!!!

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Baby Catcher, LJ, Baby Gaga.

Random Things Of Note? Seriously, 62 days left? SERIOUSLY? :(

I think the "too good to be true" feeling is relatively common. I distinctly remember within the first day after my son was born having the thought "I hope I get to keep him." wt..?? I still have no idea why that popped into my head! He's sitting on my lap making it hard to type right now. ;)

I hope it's just a common pregnancy though, and not a "gut instinct" type of thing. :( I would die if anything happened to my daughter!

Everything you said under "What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week" is exactly how I feel. I want my little boy here, and I want him here NOW, safe and healthy, and I'm terrified that for whatever reason, that won't happen.

It really kills me to think that something could happen between now and my due date and I absolutely hate it!

I know the feeling :( I had my 32 week appointment today and everything seems to be going just fine, so that's reassuring, but I still worry constantly. But I think most people do, some may just be able to block it out better than we can :P
