I've spent so much time worrying about this baby that it hasn't really hit me yet that I'm having one.
Last night before I fell asleep I started thinking about the fact that my husband and I only have five more months as just "us" together. Don't get me wrong, we both wanted this baby so bad and we tried very hard to get her on her way, but a part of me felt sad, scared, nervous.
We're celebrating our 8 years together (4 years married) in June and it'll be our last anniversary just the two of us. A part of me thinks we should get away for one night on holiday but another part of me can't justify spending money on a hotel when that money could go to the nursery/baby things. (Stuff I'd much rather spend it on ) But I feel like we should do something romantic for our last spent as just us two.
I've asked him to get me a necklace or earrings of the baby's birthstone for our anniversary.
For father's day I want to get him a little something but I just don't know what. For mother's day he got me a card from the baby that was very sweet. I didn't expect much if anything so while I want to give him a little gesture I don't want to go all out either. I'll probably just make him a cute father's handbook or write about how excited I am to watch him be a father.
Are any of you firsttimers feeling nervous about the idea that you'll be parents soon? I felt guilty feeling this way, is it normal? How can I possibly prepare?
Lots of love and best of luck,
Hollie
