#2 and I"m really nervous this time!!

I wasn't nervous the 1st time around.  I had an easy delivery so that shouldn't be a big worry.  

I'm nervous about sharing my time with DS and new baby.  I'm nervous about leaving DS when I'm at the hospital.  I'm nervous about being up all night with a baby and short on patience with DS.  I could go on and on.  Please tell me this is normal or I'm not the only one feeling this way!

You are not alone! I'm having all the same fears! But it will all work out in the end, I'm sure. Hang in there!

I'm right there with you. Mollusk was so all encompassing, she had colic and newborn her took everything I had...and more.

How I'm going to deal with twins and a active two year old I don't know.

I've never been away from her overnight either so I'm sad and freaked about that.

I'm nervous too. We have gotten into such a pleasant rhythm with dd that I'm scared to death of messing that up. Also, I am not looking forward to the infant stage. I didn't care for it with dd, and I dont believe I'll enjoy it this time around.

You're definitely not alone, I worry constantly about the day to day "simple" things while having a newborn and DS. I'm a SAHM and have effectively spoiled DS into thinking I'm at his beck and call, so I especially worry about us both having a lack of patience for awhile!

I'm nervous about how it will be with DD too. We fell into a really good routine with her, she's not a baby but this little person who's a thrill to be with, and I don't want to mess that up. I know she will be a terrific big sister and it will be fun. But it will be a lot of work too!! Aaaahhhhh its so scary!!

SO glad I'm not alone!  I am going from working to SAHM also so this whole thing will be an adjustment for us all.  Good luck everyone!!!

I have all those same fears too... and am also going from working to staying at home.  DD is very needy, and I'm nervous about splitting my time and/or not having enough energy for her.  She's also in a super crazy mommy preference phase... she won't tolerate being with Daddy when I'm anywhere nearby (i.e. in the shower or in the other room).  But I'm confident that we'll all adjust and will adapt to our new lifestyle with a new member of the family.

You just do it.  The first few months are hard but once you get a routine with the newborn things are much easier.  DD1 was 2 when DD2 came and she loved the fact that daddy was home for a few weeks.  This made it easier to focus on DD2.  

With baby #3 coming we are outnumbered!  Should be interesting!

I have all the same fears!  I'm also nervous about labor.  Labor with DS went pretty well and I'm nervous I won't have the same luck this time!

I'm nervous, too!  We didn't have the "terrible twos" at our house, but lord the threes are tough.  I can't tell if DD is acting up because she knows things are going to change, or if my patience is low because I feel like a whale, or if the threes are just a tough age in general, but I'm really nervous about how she'll react to having to "share" me after being an only child for nearly 4 years.  

I'm also worried about logistics - we have a good evening/bedtime routine going right now and I know having a newborn will throw all that out the window.  Doesn't help that DD was a terrible sleeper up until she was 2 and I'm still traumatized about the lack of sleep with a baby.

You are definitely not alone. I have started to feel this way too recently. I think it finally hit me that I'll be a mom of two kids instead of just one and sharing my time between work, my husband, our home and TWO kids is going to be a huge change. I felt like I was short on patience when I lacked sleep last time, I can't image how much harder it will be this time.

I have tried to talk to my DH and he is not really a worrier so he just tells me that everything will be fine and we will work through it. I am sure it will be but it just doesn't stop me from the anxiety of it all.

It's terrifying, and DH is still home on vacation so I haven't even had both kids by myself yet.

He goes back to work on Wednesday and I want to cry whenever I think about it. I know millions of people have done it, so it's obviously something that can be done, I just try and think about that.
