i don't think you're being silly - i can totally relate. i was soooo excited at the thought of finally holding my baby but at the same time i could have stayed PG for longer because the bond felt so special. once i was PG i never felt alone - i don't know if i can explain this properly but even when i went, say, shopping alone i still felt like i had company.
i think it's a time of mixed emotions - remember that you've been carrying the baby for a long time (i feel like DS has been around forever but yet i was PG for longer than he's been alive!) so you have a strong bond & there is also a bit of fear of the unknown, at the moment the baby is however you think of them (like when they kick at something & you think oh they must like/not like me doing that etc) but soon they'll be a little person 'on the outside' with their own emotions & personality. and boy do they have personality right from the start
