It's going to be ok. Take a deep breath. I am almost in the same situation as you. I have two daughters, ages 21 and 15. I am 26 weeks pregnant with #3 and turning 40 in 2 days. This pregnancy has maybe been the easiest of the 3 so far. Baby is healthy, I feel great, all is well and I'm sure it will be for you too. The hardest part for me is figuring out all the new stuff they have for babies now. Did you now that car seats have expiration dates, or that you're not supposed to put blankets in the crib or use the same crib mattress for more than one child? So much has changed in the last 15-17 years!
