I'm Really Having Another Baby? « Back to Group Discussions

It's still a little hard for me to believe that another itty-bitty will be joining us! We're thrilled (well, DS1 doesn't want anymore babies messing with his stuff lol) but I sometimes have a hard time picturing how things will change. DH keeps going "We're going to be a family of five!" lol. It still doesn't feel real at this point. I think I'm going to start buying stuff in an effort to make this feel more real .

I'm totally with you on the trying to convince myself this is all real.  I have my first appt and ultrasound on Wed, thinking maybe it'll sink ib a little more then.

...i had my ultrasound (to make sure the spotting wasn't a sign of something bad), and it made it more "real" for about 2 days, now I am back "in denial".  Especially since my symptoms are so mild...I definitely forget at times - that did not happen with #1! 

I am looking into all of the birthing options now, so that is helping the reality sink in a bit, lol!

Definitely with you in "unreality"! I'm having pretty intense, all-day nausea, so it's hard for me to even focus on the end result. I thought telling people would help, but all I can think about is how crappy I feel, so it's hard to get excited when people ask about the baby. :( 

I haven't even made an appt with my midwife yet---that's how unreal it feels! I should probably get on that....

gitanamama I haven't made any appointments either. Guess I should start working on that myself . I'm just not in any hurry at all.
