I was about to ask about being still a nervous mommy

And then he pulled my hair and smiled and all the nerves went away. Are you still feeling like you are figuring all this out and especially figuring out how to relax during those naps . . . still loving LO!

i love my baby.

but this waaaay harder than I imagined. maybe because I'm older FTM and a nervous person to begin with.

they say eventually, he'll get into a routine and I'll feel better and more secure in motherhood. For now, it's a big ole guessing game for me.

I don't feel nervous at home... just when we're out in public. I don't want DD to be the crying baby in store throwing a fit, or I don't want people to think I'm not taking care of her very well because she's crying. She actually doesn't even cry that much, but I just am afraid of her doing it in public! I make sure we go out and about when she is in a good mood!

I dont know if I'd say nervous..but a lot of times I find myself saying, Man, people trust me with a baby. Its kind of weird, I know I'm a good mom but I feel like the responsibility is a lot more than I ever expected.

And, when we go in public, I always feed her then drive around for a minute so she'll fall asleep. lol That way she doesnt get bored or in one of her I hate my carseat moods in the middle of shopping.

I'm not nervous, but I've all of a sudden become a complete control freak since DS was born...everything regarding him has to be done MY WAY lol.. I was never like that before...very easygoing and carefree. I have to figure out a way to bring myself to a happy medium..

I think this sums it up pretty well. I think I've got DD pretty much figured out for the most part, but I'm always afraid I'll be one of "those" mommies who can't control their kid in public, especially because I look pretty young. I don't want to get pegged as a young, irresponsible mom since nothing could be farther from the truth.

Your DD is sooo cute! I also look young, so that is one of the things I'm worried about as well!

You are all inspirational and now I want to go to Holland! Maybe, yellow tulips!

This is one of those posts that made me breathe a big ol' sigh of relief as I read through it. I am also waiting for the nerves to calm down. I called my mother the other night asking if I was expected to have everything running smoothly and perfectly by now (DD is 3.5 months) - she ensured me that wouldn't happen for years.

I get the nerves about traveling to other houses for long day trips or overnights- that really works me up. I get anxious about blowing the routine I try to (roughly) follow to smithereens on weekends or misc busy days. Oh, and don't get me started about germs. Seriously. When people start crowding or pawing at her, I can feel my veins start tightening! Pass the Baby is not my favorite game, needless to say- especially as a spectator. The thing I hate most though, are the folks who inevitably stand by and make little jokes about how I am the nervous new mom, blah blah. That doesn't help!
