Starting to believe

[MrsR]

Ok well it's slowly dawning on me that a baby is going to arrive sometime soon (in the next 8 -10 weeks) x I mean I've always known that I'm going to have another baby but it's always been vaguely in the future. But today my sister surprised me with a brand new cot and mattress she'd ordered without telling me! x she had bought me a second hand mamas and papas cot and was going to send it but decided she liked this one from tutti bambini better and bought it as well and is going to sell the other one! Anyway it arrived so I put it up (ow on my back) and it's now all set up and looking gorgeous! But even though I've had the Moses basket up, all his clothes washed ironed and put away, etc etc now his cot is up it feels so real! All in all I'm finally beginning to believe that I'm having a baby!!!!!! Aaaaaagggggghhhhhh! Lol x

ahh thats kind of your sister!! bless you, i dont think its gonna hit me til im in the 30's weeks, its all very exciting! having the cot up will be a reality check for me too when im a bit further along. x

 

[isobel84]

aww helen! i dont think i understand im having a baby.. but then again all baby things is packed away nothing is out on show yet.. might do the cot soon tho...

 

[Squeakz]

oh god i know.....oh and i are have known for the last 8 months that we're goion to have a baby but suddenly its dawned on us that LO is due in 6 weeks and its a MASSIVE shock to the system...trying to actually get our heads round the fact we're gonna be mummy and daddy lol

its a little crazy to think that we get to bring a little person home and our whole lives are goign to turn our lives around! very daunting and exciting, so fully understand!! x

 

[tinkerbell86]

Crazy eh? i dont think it will totally dawn on me till i move into my new house which will hopefully be next week now!! I can't wait to pack babies stuff away/ organise things rather than it all be kept in cardboard boxes!!!

I know how you feel - our nursery is all set up and although I believe she is coming, I've not finished my hospital bag- perhaps because I don't really believe the labour will happen Not sure how I am really expecting her to get from my tummy into the cot

 

[MrsR]

Lol Annie! x I guess I'm lucky in the fact that I already know the logistics of them getting from tummy to cot but it's all the stuff that comes after that are a vague, very very vague, memory x

 

[Emmamb]

I'm the same,Im aware I'm gonna Have a baby but I don't think reality has hit yet...hopefully when I move and start settin up the nursery section in my youngests bedroom that itl all kick in x x

 

[twinkle84]

I feel a bit like that too really. I def believe im pregnant now and little one is moving about and fine on the scans, but i dont actually believe that im going to have a baby! Strange I know. Not because im scared or anything. Im just paranoid something will go wrong. Even though we have moses basket and bits and bobs I still dont allow myself to imagine myself with the baby! Pretty sad I know and I soooo want to

 

[Yodabo]

Aw that's so lovely of your sister!

I honestly don't think it's sunk in with me yet. Can't picture 3 kids! I think it's cos it's gone so so quick and I don't feel that pregnant! I mean I know I have a huge bump but I don't feel heavy etc..whereas with my others I had kinda rough pregnancies. I've been really lucky this time *touches wood*

 

[K&A]

Im the exact same, i know there's a baby in their but i think i believe im going to wake up and my little prince will just be here lol..

when i think about labour i start to panic and get hot hehe..

but i then realise yep ive got to do it, no way round it, and then i get to hold my baby in my arms

 

[MrsR]

Yodabo I know what you mean regarding having a bump but not 'feeling' pg x I can feel him moving but I come on here and hear how everyones sore and in pain etc and I don't feel any of that, it's just like life has carried on and I've just got a bit fatter! Lol x I think as well the fact that this pregnancy has flown past-I've always been like 'oh he's not due until October' and it sounds AGES away but now it's got to the point where I'm like 'he's due in October' and it feels like it's tomorrow! Lol x also I've had loads of things before my edd to do-first it was moving house, then 6 week holidays, then my birthday, well we moved in 3 weeks ago now and DD only gas 2 weeks before she goes back to school. My birthday is in about 4 weeks and then he's due!!!! Someone slow time please!!!!

 

[Princess81]

nice realisation to have tho I bet xx

 

[tinkerbell86]

Yep the whole labour thing has been on my mind the last 24 hours!! We virtually have everything for baby (but in boxes) and hospital bag is packed but i want to at least have something set up in babies room!!! I'm kindof getting bored of buying white and cream and want to know what i can buy colour wise!!!!

 

[serenitylove]

i went and ordered pram and cot today was very scary moment once my room been painted il be maybe thinking about putting cot up but just not sure yet lol

 

[MrsR]

I was talking to OH when he got home from work and he said he was thinking the same thing on his way to work this morning-namely that we're going to have an actual baby! x lol x it's an absolutely mental realisation but amazing at the same time! x
