Freaking out a little

[Brittny27]

I'm 31wks 3 days. I have been nothing but excited this whole time. Some reason I woke up this morning looked at kaelynn's dresser the diapers piled around and started panicing.

Thinking I'm not ready to be a mom. My life is never going to be the same. I can't just jump up and run to the store quick.

I know I'm ready Ive been wanting this my whole life. Children are a blessing and I am so thankful that I got my beautiful girl. The freak out is over but I just can't stop thinking why the panic now? Probably because I'm only 8 weeks away from her being here and nothing is set. We have no idea where we will be living. So much uncertainty and I am a planner and organizer. I'm not able to do that right now.

I figured it was normal so I didn't really let it get to me. Especially with all the stress I'm going through with us moving and not knowing where yet.

Thank you ladies for reasuring me. I feel like I have so much to do still to be ready and she will be here before I'm ready.

It really is normal, as the others have said.  The one thing I will add is that you're life WON'T ever be the same....it'll be richer and better, being a mom :-)  It's pretty much the hardest job there is, but the payouts are incredible and all of the difficult moments melt away when you're holding your baby - no matter what age they are :-)

I totally agree that it is normal. The way I deal with it is I will reorganize everything in the baby's room and rearrange everything 1000 times before I feel that it is perfect. I know that when I was pregnant with my first son I panicked! I thought I was going to lose it! With my second son I was totally ready for it because I knew what to expect.... This time around I am definitely more nervous! I have wanted a girl for the longest time and now I am freaked out because all I have had is boys... I don't know what to do with a girl! OMG! It is completely different right? Also having 2 around at one time is going to be a completely new experience since my DH only has about 2 weeks off for leave--then it is all up to me! I am sure that we will adjust! You will be fine when she gets here and then you will wonder what life was like without her!

Ya I'm sure it's normal! I haven't had that freak out yet but I'm not that close either! It'll come for sure. It does make me sad to think that now I cant just run out real quick and do what I'd like. Much more planning will be involved just to make it to get some groceries.
I love the name you chose by the way!

Relax, it's normal.  I think a lot of people have that "freak out" moment.  Especially when it gets closer to "d-day"  (delivery day) Even getting ready to have my 6th kid I have freak out moments (not quite as bad as yours becuase I've done this numerous times) but I'm like "WTF was I thinking???" LOL  

Everything will work out.  Besides babies are very resilient, she isn't gonna care if she comes home to one house and moves to another in a weeks time or not.  She wouldn't care if ya'll stayed in a motel room.  Babies are good like that as long as you can keep a general routine.  

I guess it's good that you get a taste of the not being able to plan everything now, becuase once she gets here, even the best layed plans can change at a moments notice when you have kids :)  

You'll do just fine when she gets here :)
