Pregnant after IF

Do you picture yourself....

With outside babies?

I know I am having twins, I see the baby room all set up, I see my belly, I feel them moving, I go in and hear heatbeats and see ultrasounds....BUT I just can't picture me and these babies really together snuggling with one another.

I want them here NOW....this still feels like a dream to me!

Re: Do you picture yourself....

  • Nope, I still just can't see it.  I think I'm still in some form of denial that it's actually happening.  I feel her kicking, see her on the u/s, and am preparing the nursery... but it doesn't feel real that I'll actually bring her home and be her mom!  It really needs to sink in asap!  lol

    LOL! I know I feel like it's so late in the game here that it would start to feel real by 32 weeks!

    I feel this way now,but I don't have a belly and I can't feel him/her move yet. It's kinda funny to see that "omg is this really happening" feeling dosn't go away.

  • Nope. I'm a week away from my due date and I can't picture having an outside baby at all! I suppose it's one of those things that will only feel 'real' once it's happened and I've adjusted to it. Being pregnant only recently started to feel real.

  • My mom sent me home with some newborn outfits she had picked up so that I could start washing them. I stared at them for an hour last night. I told DH I am so use to buying baby clothes for other people but to imagine these are for our baby is just crazy to me. I'm not sure when it will become "real" I hope it's before she is actually here, but I doubt it.

  • I've spent the last 8 months or so thinking about this baby daily but not once can I picture having an outside baby yet.  My new mom friends have told me it hit them all at once when they had their babies so I'm wondering if that will happen to me too. 

    When I was earlier in my pg I thought for sure by now I'd be "ready".  uhm no, I'm not haha

  • Nope.  I was sort-of getting there, but since the gestational diabetes dx, I've gone back to my negative nancy "I just shouldn't even be pregnant" way of thinking.  I washed a bunch of hand-me-down clothing I received the other day, and was feeling pretty good about things, but now I'm so not even interested in sorting it and putting it away...  sorry, having a bad night I guess.

  • Well, I have had my baby and I still can't believe he actually grew inside of me.  I must say it that to my DH a few times a day.

  • you should have seen my FB post this morning... I don't generally picture myself with a baby of my own, in my arms... it's still tough.  But I had a pretty good dream last night that brought tears to my eyes when I woke up. :)

    here it is... 

    As I was dozing in and out waking up this morning, my dream consisted of dancing around with my baby boy in my arms singing "When I see your face/There's not a thing that I would change/'Cause you're amazing/Just the way you are/And when you smile/The whole world stops and stares for awhile" ... ? 8 weeks ? 

    I hope you start to feel it soon :)

    This is exactly how I feel. DH and I talked about it last night and it feels like we are talking about other people.

  • I agree, it still feels very much like a dream to me too. I can't wait for it to be real though!

    We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

  • I'm not nearly as far along as you but I don't believe that I'm actually pg.  I don't think I'll believe it until I have a baby in my arms.  And that's an eternity away for me! 

    You don't have too much longer!
