Oh dear

My DH and I were in Toy's R Us today getting a gift for his little half brother and some toys to donate. Anyway, we went into the baby section to have a look. Standing there looking at all the diapers, stroller and all of it, I almost lost it. I felt totally overwhelmed, lost and not ready to be a mommy at all. If I had not been in public I think, no, I know I would have started crying. I felt completly freaked out.

I know how you feel... I get overwhelmed sometimes just by going to the baby isle at the grocery store.

I got that way earlier on...now I just get way to excited and want to buy EVERYTHING

Dont worry yet, you have plenty of time to plan! We started buying packs of diapers not long after we found out and so now we have a diaper and wipe supply building up. Start doing something like that. That way you gradually accumulate everything. Its kinda overwhelming at first but then once you get in there and start planning its sooooo fun!

My mom is coming down on Monday, and she wants to start shopping. I warned her I may freak out in the store. So to prepare myself, I am searching the internet for furniture and such. I am looking, but with it being online, and not IRL, then I have a buffer. I did find a crib I like.

I had the same thing happen to me! I totally got freaked out! I haven't started buying anything and I'm scared to! It will make it so much more real.
