Ff (or not) Sunday Confession

BlackAndGold09

Is anyone else not "excited" yet? With dd I was so excited I couldn't contain myself. With this pregnancy... I've known I'm pregnant now for 11 weeks and it's not that I don't care, but I'm just not into it like I was with my first pregnancy. We announced very early on this time and I thought maybe being able to talk to people would help, but no.

Fwiw my first pregnancy I was extremely sick and this one I have no symptoms since Oct 30 although I've had 2 bleeding scares. Also, this round I have tons of added stress from work, dd is being a demon constantly, and bad things just keep happening ie my FIL passed away monday.

Am I alone?

You're not alone. With my first, I was beyond excited. With my second pregnancy (twins), I've been so stressed about making it work with 3 kids, daycare costs, and dealing with ms, I feel like I am just not focusing enough on the excitement of being pregnant. I'm so happy that I am but I am just so busy that I'm not dwelling on the excitement like I was with my first when I couldn't think about anything else.

You are going through a lot with your FILpassing, plus taking care of an 11 month old and taking care of yourself while pregnant (with 2 bleeding scares). give yourself a break, you have a lot going on. I hope all gets better, try to take some time for yourself.
