Late bloomer: Now it's real!

I have a bunch of baby clothes (new and hand-me-downs) that I need to get washed and put away so they'll be ready to use when DD makes her arrival.  I've been putting off this task for WEEKS.  I decided that today was finally the day to get started but I froze.  Apparently, this is my turning point.  Now it's real.  I'm on the verge of tears, not because I'm upset, just overcome.  Washing baby clothes is my defining moment.  This is why I've been putting it off.

So I guess setting up the bassinet, swing, pack n play, ordering the crib, installing the car seat, not to mention hearing the heartbeat, seeing the ultrasounds, feeling her move, and the HUGE FREAKIN BELLY haven't been enough.

Sh*t just got real.  As the onesies go into the wash...

Was there a specific moment that it became real for you??

Re: Late bloomer: Now it's real!

  • Mostly when we finally got into the dr and it was confirmed bc before then DH still had his doubts.

    On the other hand some days it still doesn't feel real. I have 8 days until the RCS so I guess it will feel really real after LO has arrived!

  • I still havent really had one! =(

    Everything is completely ready but it hasnt hit me yet. I think my moment will be when my sister delivers her son any day now.

  • Once we finished painting his room that's when it hit me I cried as I stood in the room with the new color on the walls we bought the house 3 1/2 yrs ago and never did anything with the room so seeing it not be pale yellow got to me....also anytime I pick
  • Things still seem so surreal to me! We are 95% ready for him and I feel like I'm in a dream. It honestly won't hit me until he's in my arms. Hard to describe but I was termed medically unable to have children and I think I'm still in shock that it happene
  • I honestly haven't felt like it is real yet. I guess since we experienced a loss before, I will probably have a hard time believing it until he is in my arms. There have been moments that I have gotten excited for his arrival, like it might be really happ

  • At our AS, first when I realized that those bumps (what I thought were uterine spasms here and there) were actually kicks and punches, and then when she told us we were having a girl. I got soooo emotional (happy as what - that's what we were hoping for!)
  • I've had a few such moments.  The first was the day I heard the heartbeat for the first time.  The second was Christmas morning when we found out we were having a girl.  However, I don't think it will truly feel real until she is really her

  • I kind of had a moment when I put the mobile on the crib and Brahm's Lullaby was playing. But at the same time, it will probably not be 100% real to me until we are home from the hospital and the kid is screaming in my arms and I don't know how to make

  • I'm being induced in less than 3 hours and it still doesn't feel 100% real. But I think that putting the P nP together, because it is in our room as opposed to the nursery, was my moment. Because suddenly it was like "whoa, there's gonna be a baby in
