Getting quite scared
Hi ladies
This is a bit of a pointless post really as theres nothing I can do about it but I just need to vent a little bit!
I'm now 22+4 weeks pregnant and Theo is almost 7 months and its just starting to dawn on me just how hard its going to be when this baby arrives. As much as I'm looking forward to it I'm really scared now. Theo is still such a little baby and needs me so much still, he can sit but still isnt crawling or anything. He's generally happyish but is a mummys boy and cries when I leave the room or even just put him down on his mat and go to get a nappy! He's happiest sat on my lap playing games but the problem is my lap is running out as my bump grows! He still wants alot of attention all the time and doesnt really amuse himself for longer than 10 or 20 minutes, is that normal for 7 months?
How much will Theo change in the next 4 months? Will he be crawling or cruising? If so will he be more content to amuse himself? I know its completley pointless to say all this but I'm just starting to feel really scared about how I'm going to cope.

Take care vikki xx
Katie your right, I will cope just because I have to! I'm trying to do little things now to make my life easier, like if Theo is crying and I'm doing something I dont go straight to him, I finish what I'm doing first. I think he will be more content when he crawls because he's so frustrated at the moment, he sees something he wants but cant get to it and thats why he cries alot of the time.
He is a good baby generally, he likes his naps and is always really grumpy when he gets up. He's ok if we're going out once he wakes up but if we're just staying in he seems to be really fed up and I dont really know what to do with him when he's like that! He's just discovered finger foods and is really enjoying them which is nice because that keeps him quiet for quite a while. Theo has a good bedtime routine and a bit of a day routine but its not set in stone like his bedtime one.
