Guilt increasing - 2u2 10 days away

I can't help wondering WHAT ARE WE THINKING!!!! My daughter is so much fun right now and I don't get to spend enough time with her the way it is since I work full time.  Now we're about to rock her world and she's going to have to share us.  I can't help but feel guilty.

I feel the same way (even thought I'm not as far along as you).  My DD is getting so self sufficient now.  And starting all over again is making me a little anxioius.

I feel that way sometimes, but then I realize that after the 1st year, they will all be best friends!!!!

You will be fine and will learn to love it...I do have to say that the first couple of weeks are tough...When we came home from the hospital with our DD, I felt majorly disconnected from our son...I remember coming home...he was napping...I walked up the stairs and started feeling so sad for turning his world upside down without him understanding...I picked him up from his bed and just started crying...I knew I had to stop because that was the last thing he needed to see...anyways, he was definitely different towards me for a couple weeks...which was awful, because we were buds!  Anyways, it is now almost 3 months since the birth of our daughter and things could not get any better...our son LOVES his little sister and I LOVE watching him interact with her and LOVE watching her follow him with her eyes everywhere he goes....they are going to be buds and it just melts my heart!

Sometimes I feel the same way, but then I think of my brother and I.  I am 2 1/2 years older, and I don't remember ever there being a time of just me in the house, since I was so little. He's always been there, a part of my life and a part of our family, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. I can't wait for DS to have his little sister, and I am trying to remind myself that this is a good thing for us all. Our family will be complete. Am I rocking his world for a bit? Sure, but it will be an adjustment for us all and we'll get through it together.

Trying to stay positive about the whole thing!

I'm feeling this way too so it's nice to hear this.  I know everything will be fine later, but it's hard not to feel like this.
