Okay I feel weird too. Not that way though. I mean I feel like okay my baby will be here and everyone is like talking about how they are gonna come see her and we are gonna go out. I am like um no. I am not picky, but I dont wnat my baby being passed around like a ball. I mean sure can have someone come over the house and see her hold her whatever, but not go somewhere and let everyone take turns holding her. I also was thinking that I dont want to have her. I want to keep her in my belly, lol. I like the kicks and the moving that I feel its very special to me. Also I learned who my true friends were and I think I will become blind again once she gets here.
I am feeling totally overwhelmed over what is gonna happen when she gets here, like omg I am gonna be a mommy! How can I afford her? Will her father ever see her? Do I want him to see her? What kinda mommy will I be? Will people judge me on my parenting, etc. Oh boy theres that feeling in my tummy again, lol.
Lots of love,
heather and hayley

Hey kari! I think that is completely normal! You're not wierd! Although, I dont really "know", its like a sentimental thing too ya know? You'll always remember your first pregnancy and its special! But I do get what you are saying...You've learned to deal with the situation and you have control (well...Somewhat!) over your pregnancy, and then when the baby comes there is other people! Maybe I am not making sense! But...No...Thats not wierd!

Kari I know exactly what you mean! I miss being pregnant a lot because it always seemed like those little punches, kicks, and hiccups were just for me, nobody else ya know? And nobody feels as close to your baby as you do. And as much as I wanted him out and wanted to meet him, part of me wanted him to stay put forever and ever lol. But I thik it's pretty normal. I didn't want to let anyone else hold him. I felt like he was mine and all mine...Lol. I still don't let people push his stroller. He's my son and i'm proud of it. Lol. But I think what you are feeling is pretty normal. You are having some anxiety. But I promise you will be so thrilled when matthew gets here you will forget all about it. You will hear those little hiccups and think "they didnt feel so little when I was trying to sleep" lol. Sorry i'm just remnimiscing....I'm way too sentimental....Lol. But yeah it's normal hun.

I think it's completely normal to feel that way b/c that's how I feel now that rylee is here. I really wasn't one of those people that enjoyed being pregnant but now that i'm not I kinda miss it. I've been through a lot since she was born and i've been in and out of the hospital so a lot of other people have had to take care of her for me and I guess i'm just jealous and I miss when it was just me and her. I know that sounds selfish and stupid! I mean I missed half of her first week of life at least! I had to quit breastfeeding so I lost that bonding experience. It just angers me off! I'll never get that time back. I wish I could've just kept her in forever! Lol! I never thought I would say that! Sorry I was posting to try to make you feel better but I probably made it even worse! Just enjoy every second with your son for the rest of your pregnancy and then for the rest of your life. You'll always be #1 to him.

I know a lot of women that I used to work with that said that they loved being pregnant. They would like to be pregnant for the rest of their lives (but they don't want to continually keep having children.Lol) so, from what I have heard, it is completely normal. But if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. I mean, you are creating a life inside of you. Even with the sickness, swelling, pains and being uncomfortable all of the time, that is an awesome thing.

Kari,
though i've never had kids, I think that it's perferctly normal. Right now your child in you is just yours..... No one can do anything to take that feeling away from you right now, but once you have the lil one, you are feeling like you'll lose that special connection. But kari, it's your child. You will have another type of bond once you have the lil one! You'll be a mommy! It's normal hun! Totally normal!
