Pregnancy leads to a baby???? haha

It makes me laugh thinking that this was such a dramatic thought....  but It just hit me the other day that pregnancy leads to a baby!  Like.... a real baby.  In a few weeks  I'm going to actually have a BABY!  Anyone else have this sudden whammy of a realization?

  • I had it a few weeks ago lol :D
  • Every so often I have an "oh, $&@%# moment and I look at my husband and tell him we're having a baby. I STILL cannot believe it!
  • I remember having this thought towards the end of my first pregnancy. It took so long to get pregnant that my goal was pregnancy, and I felt like I should have mentally prepared more for baby. :)
  • I'm more surprised that we only have 9 months to prepare and that it's going so fast. I'm not ready for this! I knew from childhood pregnancy results in a baby. Lol.
  • I've been having a lot of 'oh my gosh!' moments, but it hasn't fully hit me that soon I will be holding her and caring for another human, like I know it, but it doesn't seem real at all!
  • DS just hit terrible twos...and I cannot count the number of times I've already thought "If I wasn't already pregnant, I don't think I would be trying anymore." But the real eye opener hit me about three weeks ago when DS woke up screaming in the middle of the night, so I went into console him and help him back to sleep. As soon as I got back into my bed, the baby woke up and started moving so much she was moving us off the mattress. It was in that moment that I realized I would never sleep again.
  • I have known this whole time that pregnancy leads to a baby.. but it really did just hit me on Saturday! I have been preparing the nursery, feeling my little boys kick, and getting huge - and it JUST HIT ME! I know how you feel. We had our birthing class this weekend and it went over labor, delivery, and newborn care. I freaked out. You mean to tell me that these little boys are MINE? That I will be a Mom?? It's so strange. I guess it's the same as what @RRatledge1984 said. It took us 2 years of trying to get pregnant that pregnancy was my goal. Now that I'm pregnant, I don't know what to do next!
  • This is all going by so fast I don't know what to do! I'm starting to really love being pregnant. It has made me see everything in a different light. Like, what you think is important really isn't. I've become more optimistic and my heart is full of so much love! I can't wait to cuddle my little girl but I will definitely miss being pregnant. Our plan is to have two children so hopefully I'll be able to experience everything all over again. Bring it on morning sickness. Lol

    haha Yes sort of. For me the reality of "a baby" was always there but now that she's moving and i'm getting to know how she sleeps and what she likes to eat, I think the reality that "a baby is a PERSON." has started to REALLY sink in for the first time. 
  • I think i'm still in denial... haha! Now that my belly is big it's really starting to hit me - there's a human growing inside there! 3 more months!
  • For me it wasn't so much that I realized I was going to have a baby, it was the realization that in 10 weeks, give or take a few, that I'm going to have to push this baby out! That's when I started panicking, "do I have everything!?", "what am I gonna do if I go into labour while my SO is at work!?", "who do I need to get a hold of when it happens!?", "what if it's 3? Do I still get ahold of my family and let them know?"

    Luckily my SO answered those questions. "If you go into labour and I'm at work, call my mom, then call me, she will be able to make it to you faster than I will", "make a list of phone numbers for me to call or text, so I can let your family know as well as mine", "I don't think your family will care if I call them at 3 am, they are going to want to be updated on everything that's happening, this is their first grandbaby after all."

    He's honestly been so great at calming my nerves this whole pregnancy
  • The movement was so cool at first, now I'm getting tired of it and I just want to hold him. :)
