I can't envision my self with a new baby. I mean, I know I'm pregnant and I know I have a c-section scheduled for two weeks from now, but it just does not seem fathomable that I will be a mom of two in two weeks. I can't picture a baby in our life. I'm thrilled and can't wait to meet him, but I'm still just waiting for reality to set in.
Did anyone else feel this way?
Re: Still in denial at 37 weeks?
TOTALLY! Even after delivery I didn't believe it. I think the whole pregnancy experience is different when your time is occupied by a very busy toddler. The time goes by so fast, and because they are close in age your body is "use to" being pregnant. At least that was the case for me.
Coming home it started to sink in, but it never really hit until DH went back to work and I was home by myself with 2u2.
I felt the same way. Coming home was an adjustment, but a quick one. Like everything else with being a mom, you just figure it out as you go and do the best you can.
The sleep thing I still haven't quite figured out... luckily DD SSTN 7-7 most of the time unless she is sick, etc and DS is just starting to sleep 5 hour stretches. It's tough, but you're a mommy and you can do it!
The love... it seems like it'll be hard, but it's amazingly easy!!!
GL to both of you, and welcome to 2u2!!!
I'm totally with you. My mom's coming in tomorrow for the holidays and however long it takes for us to adjust (which is awesome). But I can't see past when she leaves.
Maybe I can get her to stay forever!
