I was 17 wen i gave birth to my daughter and trust me i was sooooo scared that i disnt want to even give birth but its ok i mean the pain litterraly is gone wen u see ur baby that's wat every one told me but didn't believe till i held her and at 20 i had my son and it went by good and fast and instead of being scared of labor i tryed to induce it lol didn't work tho :(  but did get induced a week after i tryed :) and i was start to go into labor at 730 and had him at 438 pushed for only 20 minutes and its ok to be scared cuz every women gets scared of delivery but every thing will be fine :) good luck and hope u have a beautiful healthy baby girl :)

You gals will eventually find a name you like. We settled on Gabriel Lee Winchester for our sons name. (Firstborn) With us when we picked out the name it stuck! We both thought it was a good strong mame for a little southern boy. :)

For the life of me I can't picture what life will be like with a baby around. I'm not nervous about taking care of him and his needs, it's just I can't picture rocking my baby to sleep or staying awake by his side or what our routine is going to be like. Me and hubby are even having trouble picking a name because I just can't picture myself calling after our son 'connor don't touch that' 'nathan don't put that in your  mouth' nothing sounds right. So yeah, I totally understand what you mean.

I felt the same way when my daughter was born. I used to freak out at the thought of her slipping out of my arms or rolling on her tummy somehow and I was asleep. Its just part of being a new mom. It will pass. After awhile your day becomes routine and you will see your daughter going off to preschool in no time :)
