  *My DH and I won't have time for each other anymore.

  *I'm responsible for this little person...forever.

  *I won't be able  to handle being a stay at home mom because I won't keep busy enough and will have to put LO in daycare.

  *I'll never feel comfortable as a mom.

  Man, typing all these makes me seem like such a heartless, ungrateful person.  We talked about all of these things before I became pregnant and we were both willing to make this life change.  Now that it's here though, I keep thinking "what the he!! have we done?".  And I feel horrible for that.  I know this is just the hormones because I am feeling this way less and less each day but I still feel horrible about it.  I love my LO and my DH sooo much, I just want to feel comfortable in my "role" again.  I know how to take care of babies (worked at a baby shelter for abused/neglected kids for 3 years, worked at daycares, taught for 6 years) and know I can do it, it just seems so overwhelming right now to think I can't just do what I want when I want now because of LO. 

  This feeling will pass once everything becomes a habit, right?

  ** DD won't nap and its driving me nuts**

  DH is upset that we have no sex life and I feel bad but not enough to do anything about it.

  Am I cut out to be a SAHM?

  I am dreading the sound of my DD crying to be feed when I really want to go to bed and sleep through the night without having to wake up to take care of her. I feel guilty that I think like this. 

  I want all of these terrible feelings to go away.

  I want to feel as connected to my DD as my DH does.

  I hate being a SAHM and am counting the days until I return to work.

  I hate that my DH wants to spend the few hours he has with our DD at home when all I want to do is escape with him. I want him to want to escape too.
