So much to think about...

so I have been thinking so much about getting the house ready for the baby, and making sure we have everything we need, and making sure I am eating right and getting enough exercise that I barely think about the fact that I am actually about be a mommy. It so weird to me, thinking about me, Tracy, being someone's mother. I still feel like a little girl to my mother, and now I have to take on that role. Its so hard to fathom. I just can't imagine how I will be, or if I am even cut out for it. What about labor...God only knows how strong I can be. I'm no scared, but I am just...I don't know, its a feeling of uncertainty. A baby is going to change my life so much, and for some reason, that hasn't really clicked in my head all the way yet. Any other first time mommies feel a bit insecure or am I the only one?

Yeah i am a little scared about everything and so is my husband cuz this is his first baby too. I don't think it has clicked in his head yet that in less then 4 months he is gonna be a daddy. It has kinda clicked with me because i am carrying the baby and feel the baby kick and everything. But we all will get through this. Good luck and congrats

Yeah, I feel completly connected to the baby too. I guess I'm just more like not sure how much my life is going to change once the baby comes. I know my life is going to change so much but I just have no clue how much or what. Just the thought of me beinga mommy lets me know its going to be major. My husband is very excited and it seems like he can't wait. I just hope we can both handle it.

I feel the exact same way!  I try not to think about it too much because I'll stress myself out, but then I think, If I don't think about it, I'll be totally unprepared!!

Insecure does not even begin to describe the way that I feel. I am so nervous about everything. Wondering whether or not I will be able to soothe her and so many other things. Its overwhelming. Im sure when the time comes my instincts will kick in, or I pray to God that they will!
