just a few more weeks!!

[inky]

aaahhhh!!! Just a few more weeks and I'll be having a baby!! A real baby!!

I think the penny is only just dropping, I've been planning, and buying stuff, and all the usual things, but I think I've been so preoccupied with being pregnant that the thought of there actually being a baby at the end of it all and it being there forever (!) is only just hitting home. It's my first baby and I really don't have a clue what I'm doing - I'm hoping that some sort of magical maternal instinct is going to kick in and I'll just get on with it, but with just a few weeks to go I'm really starting to panic!!

I've still got lots to do and no time (or energy) to do anything, and am also starting to worry about the heat - does anyone have experience of having a newborn in high summer? What if it gets too hot? What about bed sheets / blankets - how do I know it won't be too hot? I've got so many things going through my head at night, I'm not sleeping because I can't switch my brain off!!

I'm also worrying that I won't be able to cope - our house isn't in the best state at the moment, we're in the middle redecorating a lot of it and I'm not going to be able to get it finished until LO is a little older. I worry about what health visitors will think and if people will judge us, I worry about travelling with a baby, hell I'm worried about everything!!

Anyone got any sage advice for a first-timer?!

Someone else that feels the same as me, I was laying in bed the other night thinking that I am going to be a mum in a few weeks time, scary stuff. I also do not have a clue when it comes to babies either.

Yep Im exactly the same. Im starting to worry about things that I swear will just come naturally but at the moment seem like huge deals!

Like how many times should I change the babys nappy a day?? And like you, what about when its hot at night...how many blankets?? Its silly things like this that keep me awake lol.
