am I alone?

in Two Under 2

I have a 5 month old and recently  found out I am expecting again. This was not planned, but obviously a blessing. But I am having a hard time feeling that way. I am sad for my baby, feeling like I am making him grow up to fast. Then I am sad for my unborn baby because I am not as excited as I was with my first.

Dont get me wrong, I know I am blessed to have a beautiful child and be pregnant again. I know over time I will be just as excited.

 I want to be excited, I am just not there yet. Is this normal? Is it just getting over the shock? Please tell me I am not alone.

    I got pg again when DS was 5 months and I felt that way for a little bit. I worried that DS would be left out and I wouldn't have time for him but in actually none of that happened (IMO) and I still had lots of time left before baby #2 arrived.

    GL!!

    I'm in the same boat with you, although we planned #2 I didn't expect it to happen so fast. I'm excited, but I am also feeling guilty like I am making DD grow up too fast. I try not to really over think it. Just take care of my body, and spend every second with DD that I possibly can. Once LO #2 comes, we'll figure it out and make it work. I feel like part of the excitement is gone for this baby simply because I'm so busy with DD... hopefully time will make me more excited. I also feel like it's still not "real". GL!!! And Congrats!

    I was shocked and had mixed feelings very early on.  It's okay!  I just really loved my one on one time with DS and it took me a few weeks to really start to feel excited.  

    And now, I couldn't imagine NOT having both of my babies and love seeing DS as a big brother!  He is so intrigued by the new baby and I know she will be such a gift to him as they grow up.

    I've been feeling that way too, off and on. We are thrilled to be pg again, but also didn't think it would happen this soon since it took us well over a year to conceive DS and with help, at that. Truly a miracle but I wonder the same thing at times - will DS be getting enough attention still? Will I be totally frazzled? Will DS be forced to "grow up" too fast?

     I'm sure over time, these fears will subside - it's just the "unknown" and I know we'll fall into a schedule/routine after LO #2 gets here, just like DH and I did after DS arrived. It still feels overwhelming sometimes though!
