So now I'm freaking out

I don't know what my issue is. I have been planing #3 since Ben was born, but now that I could potentially be PG, (won't test for 12 days) I am really starting to freak out about it. LIke, worrying if we are making the right decision, we have a sweet deal with the 2 we already have, they are healthy, and older, more independent. Its like I am tempting fate or something. I'm worried about how the kids will handle another one, how our family dynamics will change, if it will be healthy or not... my poor mind has been on over drive lately. I was so excited up until today. I am having big time anxiety now. crap. Someone talk be down. This is normal right? i am way more scared tonight than I was with the other 2.

i think you are pregnant you will do fine and the kids will do fine. you are an awsome mom.

I think it is totally normal. It will change your family dynamic but I think for the better! Kids are resilient to change you found that out this summer! I think it is you just getting into Mommy mode, worrying about all the little things that will fall into place.

I have been worried a lot that I won't love this little boy the way I love Isaia ... Im sure I will the moment I see him

I felt all those things, too. Will is so independent now and I went back to night feedings, diapers, etc. I worried a lot more about health issues with Waylon, as well as how he would change our family. And he did change our family, and Will did take a little while to really settle in to things, but the changes he made are great, Will loves him beyond belief, and I couldn't imagine life without him.
Everything will be so worth it.... your family will be even bigger and better.

BTDT, Tara. There is a 7 yr difference between #2 and #3 here, so I kwym about disturbing the relative calm family dynamics. But once that baby is here, you'll find it hard to imagine life any other way. Do it now, don't wait as long as we did. Everything's going to turn out fine!

I don't know. I have been charting and taking my temps and all that, and this month is all screwed up for some reason. I guess only time will tell.

I do fell a bit better this morning. I think I just need to go look at pics of cute babies or something.

I think its all normal - and the fact that you wanted another one is more than enough reason to have another one - all the rest will fall into place

Oh yeah, pull out the kids baby books and you'll get that ol' baby fever going again!

it will be great Tara, what you are feeling it totally normal!! I always knew I wanted a bigger family than what i had but when Autumn was born Alyssa was 4 1/2 and slept wonderfully, easiest child EVER and then I started thinking about sleepless nights, PPD ect ect its ALL normal and its wonderful nothing more exciting in the world!!

It's soooo normal! My dd is 6, potty trained, slept wonderful since she was 1. In school full time. Here I am starting over again. Its scary, but I seriously cannot wait

awww hope your feeling better about a possible new pregnancy. All will work out just fine..Mya's 9 and i'm not even sure i'm down with a number 2 anymore..sooo it should be great to have the kids all in great ages to still have an amazing bond as they grow..
