It just hit me....

....that in a month, I WILL have a baby. Does that scare anyone else?

A friend emailed about the LaLeche meeting, and I said I'd really like to go, b/c next month, I'll have had the baby. And then it hit me: In a month, I will have another baby.

What am I thinking!?

I have that same reality shock daily...it does really freak me out! This will be our 4th and most likely our last so it makes me a little sad too. I am trying to savor the pregnancy, but feel really nervous about how and when labor is going to start and the whole delivery.

If I think about life beyond the 6 weeks postpartum it all seems like it will be fine, but things are insane here with my 3 kids now. Adding a newborn is going to make my head spin! I am praying for an easy going baby!

I think this about 50 times a day. Whenever I see the expiration dates on stuff, I do the mental math. "I'll have a baby by the time these eggs go bad. This milk expires AFTER my edd." etc.

I just can't believe it's coming up so soon. I mean, I'm almost within the window of reasonable birth time. It seems like it's taken forever to get here and now I'm starting to realize that twinges/etc could actually MEAN something at some point!!

Every day. Sometimes more intensely than others! But at least once a day I have an 'oh...my...GOSH...' moment. Last night I had a big one. Overwhelming, but exciting. And it's our first - we don't even have any others to deal with! Kudos to you mamas with multiples - sounds like that's quite the "whoa" too!
