When I was preggo I asked a friend of mine with a 1 year old when it hit her that she was going to have a baby, because it hadn't hit me yet. She said it hadn't hit her yet either and I thought she was being stupid because she had a baby in her arms!
But, my DS is 3 months and it kinda hasn't hit me yet. Well, it keeps hitting me. It's like when you get married and for awhile you're like, "Wow. I got married!" Then it gets old hat and you're not impressed that you did it anymore. I keep waiting to stop thinking, "OMG, I have a baby!" But I think I have a ways to go yet....
Re: Has it hit you yet?
Its sooo nuts! I keep wondering how this baby got here already!!! Next week will be the week that we conceived!!! How NUTS is that!?!!?!? One year ago self should have a look at how things turned out, lol!
Just the other night I was sitting in the living room rocking her, and DH was in his office and I told him to come here, that I had a baby in my arms!
... Is it weird that I'm used to being called "X's mom" because of my dog? When we go to the dog park, all the humans know the dogs' names but rarely get to know each others' names, so I've been "Elvis's mom" for about four years now. Because of that, the leap to "Amelia's mom" when the pediatrician's office called didn't feel so strange.
Really, the whole "motherhood" thing doesn't feel that odd to me. I don't know if it's that it really hasn't hit yet, or that I've been "mothering" pets for as long as I can remember!
