Panic. Anyone else?

The further along I get... the more panicked I get.  Not because I'm worried about being a good mom, or DH being a good dad... or our ability to provide for our son.  I'm just nervous to be a mom.  It's starting to become more real.  Ahhh.

Totally normal.  I think a good dose of healthy fear is very important when approaching parenthood- keeps you grounded in reality instead of getting caught up in all those pretty images in baby magazines!  I'm also feeling more nervous about #2 than I did about #1... probably b/c I now know all that's involved!  Also, this time it's more than just me and DH that are being affected.  I also have to think about DS too.  But yes, this is a completely normal thing!

If it makes you feel any better, I am freaking out with the thought of having 2.  I feel like we have a great system going and change is scary.

Yes, yes, yes. On one hand, I can't wait for October to be here so I can finally hold LO, but on the other hand, I'm beside myself with fear. I suppose it's normal, but still...

Panic pretty much sums it up! I am completely freaking out, I did not freak out with my son, but I should have! I know what I am in for and I am very very afraid!!

I wouldn't say panic- maybe just anxious? I can't wait to finally meet this LO and hold him (or her). I am also anxious about preparing the house and adjusting to our new roles as parents. But it's a good feeling- much better than most of the other feelings I have had during our ttc journey!
