do you ever feel this way?

[NotTheOnlyOne]

anyone else have a hard time mentally computing all of this? I still have a hard time believeing I had my ds.. and he is 18 months old now. And now I am going to have another one???? Its all I have wanted my whole life. I struggled with thinking I would never have children for 10+ years (a whole different thread). And now my dreams are coming true and sometimes I just really feel disconnected from it. LIke its too good to be true, it can't possibly MY life. I am happy, dont get me wrong. Its not PPD. Its just, I havent quite adjusted to everything yet.

Am I alone?

Nope! You're not alone. I have to remind myself that my oldest is 8! So, I think it's a normal feeling. With this pg, especially since it was a total accident, I STILL keep looking at the pg test just to remind myself that it's real!!!

I do it too. Sometimes I stop and say to my husband, "Hey. We have a house. And a BABY. AND ANOTHER BABY ON THE WAY."

Sometimes I get this overwhelming feeling of "OMG what did we DO?!?!" We TTC'd for this baby so it's not like I didn't know we were going to get pregnant but my DD turns 1 next month, I have a 2 year old, 4 year old and 8 year old and sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with them I'm kind of freaking out wondering how I'm going to handle another one. But I know we'll be fine. I have trust and faith in myself and my husband, it's just a matter of holding on to it when I begin to doubt.

I too am freaking out about how we're going to do it all. At least the others so close together weren't planned! But I guess my youngest will be 3 1/2 before this one (or two) comes.

I "woke" up after a bad night of DS teething last night and was terrified. What are we doing? How are we going to do this? Two under two? In diapers, breastfeeding, being worn, co-sleeping... on purpose? I love DS with every fiber of myself, will I have enough to share? And an inter-state move sometime between now and then? ACK! How do mamas of many DO this? *salute*

So, no, you're not alone in this. It's overwhelming and intimidating for me, even while it's incredibly exciting and exactly the life I want.

Trust me. Two under two really isn't that bad. I've got two in diapers, tandem nursing, co-sleeping, I don't babywear as much but that's mostly because we don't go out much. It seems hard at first but you will get the hang of it and being close in age is a blessing for siblings.
