anyone had that "what have I gotten myself into" moment?

Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about this.  But there have been a bunch of times the past couple days since I got my BFP that I have started thinking, "What on earth have DH and I gotten ourselves into?"  I have made DH promise not to tell our future child that I am thinking this and I feel like a horrible person. 

I am definitely excited and definitely ready to be a mom, but I can't help but think about how my life in going to change in every imaginable way, and there are moments where I wonder whether I am really ready for it (although I know ready  or not, it's going to happen!)  I am on the young side (I'm 27 and will be 28 before the baby comes) and only a few friends have babies, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Please tell me other people are thinking this too Embarrassed  I love the little poppy seed hanging out in my belly somewhere, but I'm a little freaked out, too!

    Don't feel guilty... I have been feeling the same way! Of course we are excited and can't wait to start our family. But, at the same time, I have been wondering if I am really ready for this! We planned a big trip for my 25th birthday for the weekend of April 16th, we are renting a cabin with a large group of friends in Gatlinburg, TN. The plan was to drink and hang out and now it looks like I will be the only one not drinking! Giving up alcohol isn't a big deal to me, but in a situation like that it will be. And once the baby comes we can say goodbye to weekend get-aways! I have no friends with kids, no pregnant friends, and really only a couple of married friends with no sign of children in the near future. Anyway, don't worry... I'm sure there are others who are feeling this way.

    I haven't hit that stage yet myself but I am sure there will be a time that I do. Its a huge life changing event.... Life as we once knew it will never be the same..... It'll be BETTER!!! We are going to be Moms!!! Its terrifying but wonderful all at the same time!

    I myself am 27 and will turn 28 in August! Most of my friends and family members do have children, and I feel left out..... I bet that is where alot of it stems from in your case!

    Don't feel guilty about having a bunch of different emotions, remember our bodies are going through so many changes we are bound to go through so many different thoughts and feelings!

    I've had a moment like that when I realize that my 'network' of friends and family is oceans away and when I do go home after the baby is born it will be the longest flight ever!

    But like everyone else I'm equally excited!!

    I certainly have had that moment, when I realized that our lives we going to completely different.No more last minute weekend trips or staying out till 3AM and then coming home sitting on the deck drinking until the sun comes up, etc. etc. etc. and it was the huge downward journey until I realized  my life is going to be so much different and I may not be able to do all of the things I did before, I am going to get to do new wonderful things.

    It is reassuring to hear that others are thinking the same things.  I don't think I could talk about this stuff to anyone in person because I'd feel awful, but it's true - we all will have a lot of adjustments to make!  Happy, wonderful adjustments, but adjustments nonetheless.
