Super excited for the new baby, super nervous at having two. I vascillate between excitement and anxiety.

I'm right there with you! Some days I'm so ready to have my little family of four & other days I feel it's all happening too fast. I mean who would ever say "my pregnancy went by so fast" lol.

Definitely excited and ready to have her out. She's a biiiiggg time mover, and I swear my belly is getting bruised from the inside! I had been switching from "yay" to "holy crap" a lot, but in the last week or so, my discomfort has helped me feel much more ready. Plus I'm so excited and curious to see what she looks like!

TallMomma29 · June 2014

I swing very quickly between overwhelming excitement and nearly overwhelming fear/anxiety. One moment I think "OMG we are going to meet our baby in a few short weeks!!"

and then I almost immediately swing to "OMG WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS!"

missyrissy · June 2014

Tired, and very ready.. I am working until the day of. (Daycare provider) so I feel like a horrible provider at the moment because I have to sit more and do less activities with the kids. I need the time off I'm taking (2wks)

Is "beached whale" an option?

I like to joke with DH that we chose an appropriate name for our baby (Jonah)...cuz I'm feeling pretty whale-like lately :-P

Terrified of having three kids

Yeah sort of the same here. I worry about having a 3 year old & a newborn. I keep remembering how exhuasted I was with just DS being a newborn.

I'm ready to hold her though. Kiss her face & tell her how much we wanted her. :x

I wasn't worried about changing the family dynamic we have enjoyed for over 6 years until this post... and now I am really nervous. I like our life and how it was, I just wanted to add to it. I hope he isn't a little terror.

abrazz · June 2014

I'm stressed. I had to go to L&D for fluids and IV antibiotics on Tuesday and then the doctor put me on absolute bedrest till he sees me again next Wed. My mom is going through chemo and DH is working nights. I came home from the hospital and did all the stuff I would normally do through the contractions (which is not the definition of bedrest). This blows. I really need to work and not use my PTO for this or I won't have any left when baby comes. I do not want an early baby though so I am trying to do what the doctor says, but it's impossible to stay in bed.

I'm feeling very anxious about the change to our family dynamic. It's been just my DD, DH and I for the past six years. I always wanted two kids and feel blessed to be having another one but now I'm getting really scared. How do I carve out enough time for both of them? and I'm anxious about our financial situation since I won't be returning to work full time. I am ready to leave my job too, I can't stand it and don't have enough to fill my days. Ready to meet my LO already.

Are you me?? Cause I seriously could have written this.

AutumnBonfire · June 2014

I'm excited to have the baby (and be done with being pregnant!), but I'm getting anxious about when its going to happen. Labor doesn't scare me at all, but I'm worried about having it happen suddenly and getting someone to watch DS. The last time my water broke with no warning and we had to leave. My mom is going to be on-call to come over and stay with him, but she lives 45 minutes away. If she's at work, we're looking at over an hour drive. Plus the hospital is 30 minutes from my house. I just wish I had a crystal ball to tell me exactly when its going to happen.

I'm also worried about the sleep deprivation and trying to handle a newborn and taking care of my son. I feel bad I probably won't be as motivated to do the things with DS that I would do without a baby (take him outside to play, go to the park, take him swimming, etc.)

I quit, that's a feeling right? I totally quit my job today. Well I gave my notice but I work only my feet all day outdoors. Its roasting and I never get my lunch. Not a happy camper. And my new boss is a twat. So I'm done. 14 more days.

Excited. But the labor / delivery part terrifies me!

THIS!

SaranJonathan · June 2014

Very nervous. My DD is 4.5 years old and isn't really too much work anymore. Having a newborn again is scaring me!

brooklynesque · June 2014

I can't wait to meet my baby!! But I am starting to wonder how I'm going to get through the next six weeks with my achy swollen feet and huge belly. My maternity clothes need maternity clothes. Sigh.

Pinksundrops · June 2014

Reading this thread makes me feel SO much better. I go between excited and terrified. I'm terrified of changing our family dynamic, but then I remind myself of all the amazing things baby boy will add to our lives. Even being pregnant with him has allowed DH and 15 year old and 12 year old DSs so much quality time together. As we speak DH and 15 year old DS are off at X Games together - I definitely would've tagged along previously. Plus the feeling of not being able to wait to have another LO to snuggle keeps me going as my heart is pounding through the rest. Glad we are all pretty much in the same boat. Definitely don't remember feeling this with the first two - just went with the flow and did what needs to be done.

emy730 · June 2014

I am not really worries about labor and delivery, but I am anxious about how LO will change our lives and our marriage.

It feels like everyday I go from ridiculously excited to completely terrified in a matter of minutes several times. I'm just afraid of all of all the change and how we'll adapt.

alyss0nl · June 2014

Panicked that I will have a 2 year old and a newborn. I'm more relaxed this time around, but definitely not ready.

[Deleted User] · June 2014

Physically ready. Emotionally I go back and forth between being excited to meet him and so sad that DS won't be my only anymore. I feel like we're in such a good groove and he's at a good age to go and do fun things and I worry about how working around the baby's schedule is going to impact what DS gets to do (or doesn't get to do). I'm also nervous about losing my patience with him more than he deserves just because I'm sleep-deprived because I know how I am when I'm exhausted. He is SO excited to have a new baby brother and I'm fearful that he'll end up resenting the baby because of my actions. =\

darkangel42 · June 2014

Exhausted, achy and fed up.

I'm excited about having a new baby again but I've had enough of being pregnant.

loulou1212 · June 2014

Sad about having less time for my daughter, excited to not be so uncomfortable, nervous at doing the whole sleep deprived thing again, worried this kid won't be as awesome as my first, nervous about labor and delivery because I had some complications last time....worried that with owning a business this time I won't have the same time to bond with this baby...very conflicted!!
