34 weeks pregnant and really trying to be patient...

I've been feeling really guilty because I am sooo tired of being pregnant. I am so excited to be a first time mom and I actually love being pregnant, at least I loved the 2nd trimester. The third has been allll mood swings. I'm lashing out at my family, friends, and feeling very depressed. I really want to go into labor naturally, but I'm terrified that I'll carry her as long as my mom carried me (2-3 extra weeks!). She had my brother a week early though so maybe not. I'd like my daughter to be a couple days late (I'm due march 17, so it'd be awesome if she came on Ostara). Plus I'm really stressing because I'm the only one currently working and my fiance has been unable to get a job. He just got two interviews though (one tomorrow and the next on Friday) so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm always tired and have no energy for anything. Sometimes I'll have a small burst so I'll do a ton of laundry since I don't know when I'll have energy again... but that's all I've done. I wish I'd start nesting and that the next 6 weeks and 3 days would pass by quickly lol. Anyway, thanks for reading if you do. For whatever reason I decided to post this on here instead of my whattoexpect page. <3

He and one of our friends are fixing the baby's room for when she arrives, and he also cooks for me! I lean towards depressed when I'm not pregnant as well, it just seems to have intensified. We have lots of diapers and wipes from the baby shower, and I taught Eric how to put one on so someone will always be able to change her once she's born and I'll be breastfeeding and pumping so food won't be an issue for a while. I have a very high metabolism so I tend not to be as active. The more active I am the more I have to eat lol and I'm always eating. Anyway, thank you so much for the encouragement. It really brightened my day.

Comment by Mary Blood on February 1, 2011 at 11:34pm: Good luck on your fiance finding a job before it's time to have the baby - it would be nice to be off for a little bit. I have a two month old, so I know what you're going through - I turned into the dragon lady from hell when I was in my last trimester, though it may have been due to the stress in my life rather than the hormones - I'm not really sure. I understand the no energy thing too - I struggle with that when I'm not pregnant. I have an underactive thyroid, but even with medication I've always been prone to depression and low energy levels. Exercise and art of any kind really help. Sometimes I have to force myself to start a creative project, but when I get finished, I'm usually in a much better mood and ready to do more. But if you just can't get the energy to get everything done, encourage your fiance to help you share the load and remember, everything doesn't need to be perfect for when baby arrives - if that baby gets fed, diapered, and changed on time, and is loved, he/she won't care what your house and the nursery looks like. :) So try to relax.
