I was sitting on the couch last night quiely watching tv with DH on one side and my doggie on the other, and everything was so peaceful. Well, I guess this LO wanted to be part of the action so started kicking away. It gave me this very strange moment of clarity that, "oh sh*t, this is really happening! In 5 months, life as we know it will be completely different..." it gave me a mini panic attack. We have been so caught up in being pregnant and having so much fun talking about the future, but almost as a fantasy, not reality... well, I spose this is as real as it gets. Anyone else have a moment like this?
Re: Any other FTM had an "oh sh*t, I'm having a kid!" moment?
TTC #2 since 1/1/13
yep. it happened yesterday.
a few other bumpies had mentioned leaky nipples and dried white crusty stuff around their nipples a few days ago. completely gross, i know. i thought to myself ew! what weirdos.. haha and low and behold, what do i see when i take off my bathing suit top yesterday. dried white crusty stuff. it grossed me out and freaked me out all at the same time. i've had a relatively symptom free pregnancy up to this point, besides the baby bump.. but the leaky nips definitely gave me the "oh sh*t! i really am pregnant!" momentary freak out. and even though its happening to me now.. i'm still grossed out by it. haha
This exactly! We are so excited to have a LO but love our time alone together so much, I hope we will still get time to ourselves.. ha ha
This! But it's mostly blissful denial.

I've never thought to count the weekend days... now I'm really freaked out!
A few times...but to be honest I also still get "Oh crap I'm actually MARRIED?!" feelings every now and then too. :P
I knew in my gut that I was preggo the day before I took a home test. Between being terrified of the changes this meant and wanting to so badly to confirm what I already suspected, I spent the whole night crying my eyes out.
I haven't had a cry in a while...but I still get "Oh crap! How are we going to do this?!" moments.
LOL PP
I actually had that moment last week while I was reading my breastfeeding book. There's nothing that scares me more about having a kid than it sucking away at my boob. I know it's good for baby and natural and all that, which is why I'm so pro-breastfeeding. But I've seen my sister's nipples after 3 kids and OMG....
But most of the time those moments just make me more anxious to meet our little girl.
OMG YES!! Especially to the panic attack part, lol. For me it has been "OMG what have we done?!?!" type moments. Yesterday DH and I were sitting in the living room and he said something (I have absolutely no idea what, but it was not baby related) and I just looked up from the computer and started bawling "there is a crib in our kitchen...a CRIB...in OUR kitchen..." DH thought this was funny, as he does most of my hormonal moments.
