Getting nervous about "The Day"

Angelcake

Ok.. just realized on my way to work this morning that in 2 weeks, I will be 6 months pregnant!  OMG!  What happened to the time?  I need more time before this baby comes!  And then I am afraid that I wont be ready for it when baby comes.... *deep breath*...   Ok.. please tell me that I am not the only one who feels/ felt like this...  It's normal right?  I am pretty selfish when it comes to my time... now I am going to have to share every minute of my day.. lol.  I am being ridiculous I know....

SO normal! lol!  I've been nervous about that since before I got pregnant!  Glad to hear I'm not the only one though!  Happy almost 6 mos!

It's absolutely normal! I had anxiety sometimes when I was pregnant too. Its the not knowing what to expect out of life, yourself, your spouse, your little one.

The good news is that it will be wonderful and SO worth it. I mourn some details about life pre-baby, but I wouldn't change a thing. I have never been happier and find it absolutely natural for everything to be about my DD.

Hang in there. You will be a great mommy!

Tomorrow is my 30 weeks. That means I have 10 weeks left...that's less than two and a half months. That's IT. 70 days. It flew by, let me tell you. There were times when I was like HURRY UP! But now that it's getting closer it's freaking me out. In less than 3 months I'm going to be someone's mommy......eek.

Totally normal!  Every day of my pregnancy, I thought "um, the hospital is going to let me leave with a squirmy baby??  WTF? How am I going to do it?  I don't know babies! Aaaaahhh!!!"

LOL

People tell you "it comes naturally, you'll figure it out when the baby gets here"... and honestly, it's so true. It's waaay easier than I expected it to be, and it's really amazing and fun to hang out with my baby every day.  Sure, I'm tired sometimes, and cranky sometimes, but it's ok.

Plus, you don't have to lose yourself just because you have a baby.  I made a promise to myself that I was still going to shower every morning and put on real clothes, and makeup, and do my hair. I get out of the house every day, whether it's just a walk around the block, or a trip to Target, or lunch with a friend.  That REALLY helps, being out in the world makes me feel normal.  Yesterday I went and got a pedicure, and Bianca slept through the whole thing.

You'll do just fine, I promise.  Just take it easy, and work around your baby's schedule for the first few weeks, and you'll figure it all out.
