Glad I wasn't first

RedZee · September 2013

Even though I have one of the earlier October due dates, it's really nice to see the baby posts on here. I'm totally not in any kind of newborn mode and it's really hard to imagine getting back into the swing of things. I'm slowly remembering the details of it all. Up to this point, I guess I felt like I went through it and not that long ago so I was prepared. As things get closer I'm finding I'm just not totally in the mindset and having a hard time seeing past pregnancy and labor (and work and house stuff). Hopefully it'll just all suddenly come back to me.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Yes! My DS is two so it's not like it's been awhile but I watched a friends baby the other day and completely forgot how much time they take- like all of it then on top of that I now have a very loud all over the place toddler I'm supposed to keep in line! Oh boy I think I'm in for it! But I just keep telling my self it goes quick (cause man does it go quick) even though at the time it doesn't seem like it!

I go back and forth. Sometimes I feel so prepared. And other times I am freaking out

I feel like it's been SO long since I had DS (he's 3.5) that I think I've forgotten everything. Every now and then I see an infant or remember some little thing and I'm like "HOLY CRAP! What have I done!?! I'm not ready to do this again!!!!" DS is pretty independent but he still wants our attention ALL.THE.TIME and we have a pretty jam packed daily schedule so I just can't imagine how the day to day has-to-get-done stuff will work out. I know it will, I just don't know how and that freaks me out when I stop to think about it. Most of the rest of the time I'm just sort of oblivious, I'm so busy between DS, DH, the house, work, family, etc. that I'm all "Baby? What baby? Oh yeaaaahhhhh" LOL

I go back and forth. This is #3 so I'm seasoned at this newborn thing, it's the mobile stage I'm fearing already!

It has been 11 years since I had a baby. I'm having nightly freak outs.

I kind of feel like.. if I could do it four years ago for the first time, I can do it now that I'm older and experienced. Even if I do realize I've forgotten most things. Right now I'm more concerned with DD and how she's going to handle it, and how I'll handle having two kids. That's the unknown that worries me. I know it'll all be fine, I just want to have this baby so I don't have to wonder anymore!

I posted earlier today about feeling like it is crazy this baby could come any time now! I am starting to freak out!! I do not feel ready at all right now. We have things set up but still need to finish up some stuff, I have an exam this week and next week and I am just not ready for her to come yet. I remember crying about how it was so much easier when she was still inside me because I didn't have to worry that she was eating enough and she was always content. Those early weeks can be so brutal! I am not sure I am ready for this to happen yet. But, ready or not here they come!!!

I don't feel prepared, but I'm so eager to meet her I don't care!!

My only other child will be 11 tomorrow. So I definitely feel like I'm a FTM at times. It has been a long time since I have had a newborn. I'm due Saturday and yesterday I was driving home and suddenly I was like, "holy shit I'm having a baby," lol.

I still can't wrap my head around NOT being pregnant anymore. I feel like I've been pregnant for 25 years.

That is me every night laying in bed. DS turns 12 in December, and everything has changed.
