Need time to slow down
I thought I would have a lovely weekend with the grannies to be buying all the nursery furniture and pram and stuff. And they did, they had a lovely time, spent lots of money on us, cooed over cute stuff, then both went home and left hubby and I feeling like someone has hit the fast forward button and we are really not ready for it!! We have the nursery nearly ready, I finish work in 5 weeks and all we can keep thinking is 'oh my god, we don't know how to look after a baby!'
I am getting really really freaked out and really scared at what I have let myself in for. Help!

The important thing is to take time out and not to go into complete meltdown.
Incidentally I'm pg with my 4th child and still don't know what I'm doing half the time, but even I seem to be able to get through and do a reasonable job of raising them!!!! LOL

I've got just over 10wks until baby's due, & 6 left at work. Part of the time I want her to be here already, & part of the time I want time to slow down too!
It's perfectly natural to be scared - this is a massive thing that's just around the corner, & your life will never be the same again. But it's SO worth it!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your baby when he/she comes, because they grow up very quickly.

I know what you mean about bringing another (little) person into the equation. Me & hubby have been together 5 years, but we get to spend a lot of time just the two of us, as my daughter's a very mature 14 & does her own thing most of the time, also spends every other weekend with her dad.
Keep thinking we should be making the most of these last few weeks when it's mostly just the two of us, but I'm usually too tired to do anything!!! Hopefully our new arrival will add a whole new dimension to our relationship. I'm sure my hubby willl be a great dad, & Holly will also be a wonderful big sister (she's so excited it's untrue).
I'm sure you'll be fine, & will love being a mummy.

I'm due 31 May and have no idea whether will be on time or not. My family has so many birthdays in June I want lo to have own birthday but we'll see. I am sure my hubby will be a great dad too, just not sure mummy is gonna be very good!!
