It's so hard to imagine that I'm going to be a mom

t_banned · November 2009

In 5 weeks (+/-) I am going to give birth and I am going to be a mom. I am going to have a baby that depends on me. I am going to have a baby that looks up at me and can't communicate his needs to me. He's going to cry. I'm going to cry. He's going to scream. I'm going to scream. And I'm going to have no idea what to do.

He's always going to be around. I will have to take him everywhere. I will be responsible for feeding him, changing him, bathing him, comforting him, and keeping him safe.

I'm going to talk to him. I'm going to hold him. I'm going to kiss him. And I'm going to tickle him.

Most importantly, I'm going to love him. And I'm going to bawl my eyes out the first time I lay my eyes on him.

I've never been more excited about anything in my life. And I've never been in a further state of denial. I. AM. HAVING. A. BABY. 5 weeks to go (+/-) and it's just starting to hit me.

It is super hard to imagine that in about 2(ish) weeks my LO will be here. I've been so excited to have everything ready, but it makes me anxious when I think about him being here. I cannot wait to have an outside baby, I want to see who he looks like, what color is hair and eyes are, and kiss him all over, but I am still nervous. Hopefully, we will all be amazing mothers and have wonderful LO's who grow up to be amazing people!

I pick my nose. How am I supposed to teach a child not to pick his nose when I do it?!?

I started to freak out a few months ago. But now that he's almost here, I feel a lot better about being a mom. It will be very strange, but I can't wait to meet him!

I'm sort of still in the denial phase. I get super excited about him but I can't really imagine him actually being here. People tell me I'm "full term" and I proceed to tell them that first babies NEVER come early, so he probably won't be here for a month, I'm sure (uh huh...)

I still sometimes look at DD and still can't believe I'm a mom. Its a weird adjustment at first but the days pass and you find a new normal. A strange, wonderful new normal.
