A little ecstatic and a little panicked!

[bellinghamsarah]

It's only been about ten minutes since , but yikes! I have a bouncing-off-the-walls nine month-old who keeps me oh so busy and am a bit unsure of how I will handle growing a babe while keeping up with him! I was sooo tired the first go-around... and he's still up several times a night, doesn't nap very consistently...

OK, this is going to be great, right? I mean, don't get me wrong, I feel so blessed and am really excited to have another, just maybe looking for a bit of reassurance that I can do this. I can do this, right? Congrats to you all and thanks for reading my panic! Looking forward to sharing the next nine months with you!

Sarah with Henry 11/15/04 and another one sometime in May!

Congratulations Sarah! How exciting. Yes it will be great, it will be wonderful, you will look back and wonder how you ever lived without your two wonders. Have faith OK?

Enjoy this wonderful moment Mama The moments and hours after a BFP are the absolute best aren't they?

Yep, what she said!!!!! It's so true though, we will all look back and wonder how we did it, but you just do, kwim?? Congrats, and welcome!!!!!

hey Mama congrats and
you can do this,yes two are definatly different from one and somedays you will flop on the sofa at the end of the day and wonder if you will be able to get up again :LOL but not often
The rewards are amazing and not to steal an annoying phrase or anything but you 'just do it'
It's going to be great and remember,it's nine months away,Henry(one of our boy name considerations very British ) will probably be sleeping through or at least better,

this thread is funny...i was going to reply with some uplifting advice and i started reading all the posts and realized i also needed the words of encouragment! you guys are great! and bellinghamsarah, i guess we'll just do it!

[bellinghamsarah]

Thanks, guys, for the encouraging words! I know it'll all work out and that I'll never be able to imagine doing it any other way... Hopefully the close age will help them to be good buddies, but I'm just feeling a bit protective of my little guy and wanting to be sure all of his needs are attended to, ya know? He'll still be a baby when this baby arrives.

I'm sure this board will be an endless source of support during the next nine months, and I'm sure we all need support, in different ways. Looking forward to getting to know you all. Thanks again! Sarah

I feel the same way, and this is my 3rd! I still get a little sad thinking about my other 2 not getting my FULL attention, but then I think they will be so engrossed with the new baby they won't feel it, ya know??!!!!

I'm sure you'll do fabulous Mama. Congratulations and welcome aboard!
