Stop it already!
Posted by admin on December 31st, 2008 . Filed under: Daily .Oh my I wish I could stop making these lists in my head, I just thought of another list I need to make and it is driving me absolutely nuts. I now can not wait for my little one even more, just to get these damn lists out of my head. Usually when I write my lists down on paper, I feel much better. But now I’m thinking “oh no what did I forget?”… no Pamela you just want more and more to do! I think I’m just trying to keep my mind off the fact that I’ll have a baby squeezing out of my body soon, I can’t wait for my little man but at the same time I am scared out of my mind. Fine I’ve admitted it, I’m getting a bit scared. The scariest thing though? Not knowing when he’ll be laying in my arms…he decides that not me & well that’s not fun at all.
I still haven’t finished the little ones room just yet. I still need some home lighting for his room, something so that I can go into his room at night and not light up the whole house. I still need to buy the chocolate wall border, it’s just a plain chocolate strip but much easier then trying to paint a straight line & not getting paint on the ceiling. :p At first we thought about putting up crown molding but there is LARGE molding on the bottom so we weren’t really sure how that would look, but oh my gosh just look at all the pretty crown molding!! :LOL: See the picture above? I really wish that’s how our hardwood floors were, they are so nice & bright looking. I’d love that room in a chocolate brown instead of pink too…. yum!! Oh my I can’t help it but when I go onto decorating sites, I spend waaaaay too long day dreaming about all the wonderful things that could be done to this place.

It’s natural to be scared! But with pain and all it’s WORTH every bit!
You never know how much you can love another human being…(yes you love your hubby) BUT! it’s a love that is hard to explain until he is hear and in your arms! He is apart of you and giving birth is such an amazing gift from God! You’ll do great! and before you know it you won’t be thinking about lists…hehehe! Your in my prayers hun! I can’t wait to see your little bundle of joy. If your not posting pics of new baby publicly I totally understand. If you have a myspace and post them there or on flickr to friends only. I would love to be added.

Aww, I also would love to see pictures of the baby when he’s here! – I really cannot wait to have a baby someday! I think being a parent isn’t scary, it’s just the giving birth part that scares me! But like everyone always says, I’m sure it will all be worth it when you have your little boy in your arms!

Dude, I’m scared too and this is my third, ‘tho my youngest has just turned 10yrs old so it’s a big gap. Had a stretch and sweep today to see if that would start me off (40 weeks + 5 today) but the midwife doubts it’ll do any good. I am booked in to be induced on 6th Jan so at least I have a date to work to which is ok.
As Erika said it’s impossible to imagine how much you will instantly love your baby. When I was pregnant with my youngest I was scared I wouldn’t be able to love him as much as I loved his brother. But I felt the same rush second time round and know I will this time too.
It does hurt but the pain is soon forgotten. You’ll be just fine

Its natural to be scared, afterall you are facing the unknown. Giving birth is scary, painful and the BEST experience ever. The unconditional love crashes over you and the power is stronger than any bond ever. Enjoy the experience you are taking the next step on your new path. Two people becoming three, its magical and a blessed time.

Maybe try a dimmer switch for the baby’s room. We did that for my daughter’s nursery (she’s 7 months) and it’s been a life saver, especially for 2am diaper changes! The switch itself is like $5 and you just replace the regular light switch. You can still just push/click it for the light to come on but the knob dims brighter or lighter. It’s been great!

Its very natural to be scared!
I’m waiting on my 4th an I’m still nervous! 
I’d love to see pics of the little man on flickr when he arrives, I have all my photos set to friends only… So many creepers online, its scary!

i dont even know you, but i am so excited for your baby! haha. my little man just turned 3 months on the 30th.
it really didn’t hit me about the whole baby thing until i was on the way to the hospital for my scheduled c-section. i started crying my eyes out in the car. and just like everyone else has already told you, its more worth it than you could ever imagine!
ps. if you are getting an epidural, please make sure you do not get an intern to do it! make sure that person has been there for a while!

I hope the little ones room turns out great and how you pictured it. You will have to post some before and after pictures of the room as well as the baby. Good luck with everything.
