Just can't wait!S.I.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15037271343194689612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233340736791920066.post-35573476132060923292010-02-17T20:22:31.090-05:002010-02-17T20:22:31.090-05:00thanks, everyone, for such caring comments! xothanks, everyone, for such caring comments! xoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518657316168437449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233340736791920066.post-3218055814454300112010-02-17T18:20:25.615-05:002010-02-17T18:20:25.615-05:00I was like you too.

We don't need any special help! But. But! Pregnancy is tiring for any woman and taking time off before your due date sounds like just what you need. ( I gave myself permission too and changed my mind at 34 weeks to take time off--delivered 3 days later, darn it!) Not much rest, but at least SOME. <br />I like that you are paying attention to your body and revising things as needed.cmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339916803789683010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233340736791920066.post-69643749013648362732010-02-15T02:00:17.257-05:002010-02-15T02:00:17.257-05:00Wow, I can so relate...the fatigue, weepiness, and...Wow, I can so relate...the fatigue, weepiness, and anxiety. I could have written your post! :) Unfortunately I won't be taking any extended (i.e. more than a day or so) time off before I get induced on March 2nd. But I have taken a day off here and there when I've really felt I needed it, so that has helped a lot. I have my first dilation check tomorrow--can't wait to find out what's going on these days! Hang in there!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361585193237968343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233340736791920066.post-84998569798068412162010-02-15T01:03:13.097-05:002010-02-15T01:03:13.097-05:00Be kind to yourself and take the time you need. I...Be kind to yourself and take the time you need. I took two weeks off before baby was due and it was truly a godsend. If you can swing it - Do it. And it does sound like little Fits will make an earlier appearance. And when he does, the tiredness wont matter. (Coming from someone who just told her mom that she didn't need a nap, only to fall asleep for 3 hours and almost miss her new baby's feed!!!) <br /><br />I get the tiredness before delivery, and the anxiety too - You will be great!Genkicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588371829033093762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233340736791920066.post-42466427481168654352010-02-14T20:08:27.539-05:002010-02-14T20:08:27.539-05:00I can relate to all you are telling.

These days are the final stretch and the baby might be here sooner than you think!<br />Soon you will have the most amazing time of your life so prepare. And my advise is to sleep as much as you can now; when your baby boy is here, no more sleep!Demeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524812128841912766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233340736791920066.post-50091436873825243012010-02-14T19:42:33.696-05:002010-02-14T19:42:33.696-05:00You sound like a woman who is about to go into lab...You sound like a woman who is about to go into labor: the anxiety, the weepiness, not to mention being dilated 'a little.'
