Nervous to bring baby home?

Is anyone else starting to get a little nervous (yet excited!) for bringing baby home after delivery?  I am sure these are normal nerves for a first baby, just wondering what thoughts are going through others heads.

    Totally.  My friend said when she brought hers home that she couldnt believe they let you leave with them so tiny!  Of course its normal, but so scary to be in charge of this tiny baby.

    Oh sure, I think it's normal to worry and think about it.  I don't know if worry is the right word but there is definitely some anxiety there.  I've taken care of newborns before but not my own!

    Yes! I'm worried he'll cry and not stop and I won't know what to do! Or that I'll be so exhausted I won't be able to handle everything,or that my family will get here and I'll have a break down with too much going on! My Mom, Sister, BIL and 2 nephews are coming up a few days after he's born. UGH!

    This hit me yesterday, I got all my shower gifts washed and put away and made my husband put together the crib. I still have so long to go but after hearing so many people having their LOs it makes it seem like it will be here in no time. I'm also going shopping this week to get pads, breast pads, and extra tolit paper for the extra guests after the baby comes. lol

    I am really nervous/scared/excited/anxious, haha.  And not just about bringing the baby home, but for the whole thing.  I guess you really can only "prepare" so much, but I still feel like there is something more I should be doing to get ready for this!

    I'm terrified.  Luckily, DH has done this once before and seems very confident that we can handle it.  I don't know what I'd do without him, though.

    I asked DH about this the other day. What are we going to do with him when we bring him home? Sit and stare at him until he cries or poops? There's no owner's manual to follow or receipt to take him back.

    Im not really nervous or scared, just really excited! Dh is a little nervous. But it will be okay! :) its all normal to feel that way.

    Yes the thought of having two under two is weighing on me more though right now.  I do remember when DD #1 was born though my husband was gonna go back to work the day after we got home and his boss was like you can but I don't NEED you back until wed (we came home monday) and I was so relieved that he would be home for one more day.  And I have taken care of quit a few newborns.  Its funny how different it is when its your own.
