No, I'm not talking about that thing that happens to pregnant women when they suddenly can't remember anything/have instant ADHD. By the way, that is a real thing, I swear it. Today I am talking about how I have become an epic freak about everything.
First of all, we are finding out the gender next Wednesday morning!! OMG! I am sooo anxious for this. I keep saying I am excited, but actually I just feel the weight of anxiety pinning me down. Is this normal? I have always had a pretty high anxiety level, but I feel like I ball of nerves. I don't know why I am so anxious about this! Ok…I kind of do. I am terrified that I will have "the wrong" reaction to whatever news we get. I used to really want one of the genders, but I have completely opened up to both. But….I still have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I will somehow be disappointed. AM I CRAZY?? This is a real question, please tell me I am not alone!
It's ok!!! It's a BIG thing that's about to happen in your life. :) I'm sure you'll have the perfect reaction. I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteNot crazy at all! I thought this baby was a girl all along. And I honestly would have been happy with either, I swear. But for some reason when the US tech said it was a girl, I was a little disappointed it wasn't a boy. But only for about .08 seconds. Either way, you will be developing a stronger bond with your baby when you can say "he" or "she" And you get to see your little baby and that is the best!
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed (I have no idea why) that Aubrey wasn't a boy for a split second and then overwhelmed with joy. I definitely cried due to happiness! You have all the right in the world to feel how you feel! You are growing a baby!
ReplyDeleteJust like all the other ladies said....it's a major moment that will shape the rest of your life! But the good news is, whether it's a boy or a girl - it's going to be amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteDitto to what everyone said. It's ok to feel the way you are feeling. Everything will work out. I like finding out because like Jen said, instead of calling it an "IT," we could say her and then eventually started calling her by her name. Doesn't mean you have to, but I liked having conversations with her in my tummy and saying Hi Hailey, etc. It's an exciting time, just enjoy it!
