re: were you?

My daughter was very planned but I had a very hard time emotionally while pregnant with her. I felt guilty that my son wasn't going to get all the attention anymore and it took some time to get excited.
Now that she's here it seems silly to feel that way, but I did and its normal.

I was more excited! It was planned, we knew what to expect, what to buy, what to do and how to do things right from the beginning. We had money and a secure job which I didn't have with my first pregnancy. Plus I found out I was having a girl so I was over the moon.

at first I wasn't because I had had a m/c right before getting pregnant with my second and I felt guilty because I felt like I was trying to replace my lost baby by getting pregnant so quickly. It wasn't until about 32 weeks when I was on hospital rest that I got some time away from all of my distractions to really bond with her in utero and then everything changed and I got really excited

Nope. I was terrified to have 2 under 2

I'm excited but probably not as excited this time.
