Scared to be a MOM!!

I'm sooo scared to become a mom!! But every time I feel my baby girl moves it puts a smile on my face!! It's like I'm good with everybody else kids because I know I don't have to deal with them all day.. Just send them back to there parents when I'm tired! And I have a step child.. Who loves me to death .. But at the same time she dont live with me and when she comes to visit for the summer.. I'm happy to see her come but even happier to see her go! (Sad) .. It's like I'm great with everybody else kids but idk what to do with my own!.. Yet I love my baby and can't wait to meet her!! But I'm so scared I won't be good enough.. And will mess up!! I just want to be the best mom ever .. But idk how to do that .. It makes me sad!! And to see her actual face on the 4 D ultra sound made me realize that this is very very real!! No turning back!! And she looks just like me!! (Crazy) omg!! I love my baby!! But I'm soooo scared!!!

You will mess up, you will make mistakes, and you will always question yourself. But none of that will make you bad mom, or not good enough. Its a natural fear we all have, but it comes with a natural ability to mother. Just try and relax, and have confidence in yourself :) I'm a ftm mom as well and I've always been told I'm so "nurturing" and "maternal" I feel neither of those things now that I'm truly pregnant lol. But I know it will come the moment I lay eyes on my daughter . Good lunch to you.

When people say they like other peoples kids cause they can give them back (my son included) it makes me happy that they don't want to keep him cause he's all mine and I love spending every minute of my time with him and hate having to share him!
I'm not the best with kids, never been around them a lot but being a mum to my boy is the most natural thing every, granted I didn't bond with him right away he's my soul mate.
You'll do great and laugh that you ever were worried!
