starting all over again

So, here I am pregnant at 35, almost 36. I have one child( 13yrs old). I feel so lost doing this all over again.   It's almost like I forgot what it was like when I was pregnant with my son. I'm very concerned about everything, I'm almost more nervous then I was at 22. Is anyone else feeling a little out of sorts?

I'm glad I'm not alone too!. I planned this baby so I'm not freaked out. I signed us up for a basic baby class since it's my bf's first and I haven't bathed a baby in 7 years! I also signed my older kids up for a sibling class.

I'm 36 and have a 17 year old...due in July with #2. Since I was 18 when I was pregnant the first time I remember very little about the body changes and feelings I had. I'm very excited to be starting over and I'm already thinking about #3 so I won't have another "only child" :)

You are not alone! I found out on my 35th birthday I was expecting my 2nd child.  I was in shock but everything finally sunk in and I thought...I can do it all over again. I was a teenager when I had my 1st child (soon to be 16 yrs old). Its very exciting to me...in this day in age there are new & improved material for our little ones to work with.  Best of luck to you.
