Anybody else starting to feel a bit scared? For the first time I'm actually scared about having a baby lol. I suppose it comes with the territory since its almost a reality. I've had a long chat with my partner tho and he's helped ease my worries. I know we could be in a better position but that would take quite a while and I do want to be a fairly young mum. My friend has just given birth last night so I guess this has got me thinking babies all over again!
I know what you mean Brenn09 I'm excited about when they start getting older and you start to see who they are turning out like and what interests them. I'd love to sit down and draw pictures with my little one. Simple but I always remember how much I loved it as a kid! Also kids have such imaginations. My cousin miles is 4 and he tells the most wild stories about fairies and adventures he's been on (but hasnt actually been on them) I hope that's not a bad thing lol but it is sweet.
I know exactly how you feel! I have these moments of being terrified, mostly it's a financial thing, and partly my family not being very happy with the idea of having kids young (I'll be 22! Hopefully!).
They believe I'm throwing my life away, that I should move to a better house, buy a better car, go on more exotic holidays, get a career under my belt, etc, etc. And I hate that they feel that way, my mother was never broody and wasn't particularly bothered about children. So she simply doesn't understand how it feels to want children as badly as I do.
Because my friends don't want kids young either (if they don't already have them by accident) I feel like I have absolutely no one to talk to. DH tries to understand, but my heart literally aches for children. I've never wanted anything more than this!
I feel like, 'I love my house', 'my car is just fine thanks!', 'I've been on some amazing holidays, and why can't I do that with children?', 'I don't want my career yet as I want to be a stay at home mum!'....
My only real concern is finances, I will probably need to work a little part time job after the baby is more just to have some savings. But as long as we're careful, we will be more than okay!
I can't remember who mentioned it, but someone wrote 'I don't want to be pregnant, I just want to bring my baby home now.'
I disagree, I can't wait to be pregnant. To have my baby bump and relish in all pregnant-ness! I've promised myself that I will not complain publically about anything in my pregnancy (unless it's serious!) as I've wanted this for so long, and will really apprieciate the importance of being pregnant (If that makes sense!).
