Not sure I'm ready?.....

[Willow]

I've never felt that way before, but I definitely feel that way with this pregnancy.

Our youngest is only 19mo and I remember it all so clearly - the labour, bringing a newborn home, the sleep deprivation, the anxiety, the complete upheaval of the family. And I admit, I'm a bit scared. I kinda like my life the way it is now, cause with a 19mo, it's mostly easy now. Some days I am so scared and so worried about how I'll cope, how DS will cope that I forget to be excited about meeting this baby

I have been trying to prepare by getting things organised physically (nursery etc) and working on the mental and emotional readiness. I think that because this baby was such a surprise for us, I'm still feeling this strong sense of it all being surreal.

My DH is very much like yours and makes comments like "you wanted three " (even though this baby was very much wanted, it was very much unplanned and I'm not the only one who played a part in that!) and "well, you'd better get ready!"

Your dates are very close to mine, so we still have a bit of time on our hands (and I tend to go later too), and hopefully by then we will feel ready

**ETA: LOL, Trish & Bek...had a feeling you guys might post! Seems to me we're all pretty normal or we can all rock in the corner together
