reality of a baby

I am aware I am pregnant - i know there is a baby in there - I've bought everything for her - but it just hasn't hit me that in just a few days a baby is going to be in my arms - everything i've bought for her is going to be used by a baby!! It's like I have been buying for a different baby. Like I'm in denial that she is going to be coming out.



weird.

That happened to me too, like reality really set in when she came out because I breastfed.

I was that way too. It didn't truly hit me until I took her home from the hospital. Even in the hospital it was like she wasn't going home with me, like she wasn't really mine. Then when we were in the car it hit me and I started cryin cause I was so happy she was my baby and I was taking her home.  

I know exactly how you feel.. I'm due November 20th..and I feel like I'm not having a baby at all, that I'm just dreaming. I have everything I need, I just had a baby shower and it still hasn't hit me that I'm about to be a mom..

That's normal. It sets in at different times for different people. I was always kind of grounded with it...because my pregnancy was high-risk and it was ALWAYS about doing it for him. I had to think like that to make it worth it. It really made him reality in my head more than I think he would have been otherwise.

With DS, I would stare at him still in shock that he's mine & I get to keep him

0_0 its such an out of touch feeling. Not that I don't want her out I do - I can't wait to play with her lmao. But I just feel like I am in denial that she is coming out. Like I know she is in there - I know she is a baby - I just can't grasp the fact that soon she wont be in there. soon she will be out here ....... crying at me lol

i have 6 children and each time there was some of that feeling in me. It was hard to totally imagine life with another person that arrives in an instant.

lol it really is so weird.

I am probably going to cry when they have me in prep for the csection that not only am i about to have a baby but im going to have serious surgery to get her here lol

It's like I've done everything to prepare for her ...... i didn't have a baby shower this time around ........ but i went out and bought everything - i collected things from friends and family. I've even tried imagining what she might look like which is hard bc it doesnt work very well lmao it winds up being my face his face or my daughters lol not a combination ... i've imagined her head of hair with headbands lol but its unrealistic almost that she is going to actually sit in her car seat.

I'm kinda like that too. Granted we have until December (8 more weeks) but still. Everything I buy it's like surreal.... I KNOW it's for my baby... the baby I can physically see moving around, feel, etc. 24/7 but it's almost hard to imagine that she'll be HERE, outside of my belly, in my arms..... just crazy.

You're almost there!  

I had ONE dream where I saw what he looked like, but it was only for a second. I can't imagine having a tiny person to be responsible for and that's mine. It's crazy to think that I'm about to be a mom.. I feel like feeling like this means I'm going to be a bad mom. :c

Even though Felix is six months old and I know he's my son I still feel like the pregnancy and labor/delivery were all a dream and he just appeared one day. lol And when I was pregnant, I didn't believe I was having a baby. Even while pushing I didn't believe a baby was in there. He came out screaming and wow, that was insane to me. After all that time, actually seeing what was in there. Crazy.

lol I found it easier to believe that there was a baby than that it was MY baby.

He's 3 1/2 years old, and I still look at him and go, holy crap, he's mine! I mean, I KNOW he is, but there's that moment where it's just...wow.

hhahahahaa- after about a year with Jennah (my 4 year old) it settled in that she was mine and we were stuck together forever lmfao !! Its weird to think that like her father & i MADE her though.
