I have a 2 and a half year old girl, due a second child, a boy, within 2 weeks. This evening i have been slapped with feeling lonely/guilty without my daughter.. She is in bed sleeping so its not as if i should be missing her but when i put her to bed i said my usual night-nights, love you, sweet dreams, see you in the morning. But i thought, what if im not here in the morning? There is going to be some of these mornings where she wakes up asking where i am and il not be here and it makes me feel so sad. We are very close and im not working at the minute but her daddy is so we spend each waking minute together. I dont know if its hormones but i dont usually feel strong maternal feelings unless something is wrong. she spent the night at her nannys a few weeks back and since we dropped her off, i had this overwhelming feeling of making sure she was ok.. turned out she was very sick during the night. I think this little one is not far away and thats why i am feeling like this, like nesting is cleaning the house, is there something for feelings for your first child? i feel awful and her daddy having a level head is not letting me wake her up to cuddle her lol has anyone else felt like this?
