In just a few short weeks we are going to have one of these.... I am officially panicking. While it is so fun to think about so much of this new adventure I am also terrified. I don't know how to be a mom. Everyone is constantly telling us that our lives our going to be totally different and turned upside down in ways we can't understand until we get there. This doesn't fly with type A me. I need info. I need an instruction manual. I need details. I need to plan. I know that I theoretically have a leg up because I work with babies, but being a nurse and being a mommy are 2 very different things I am not feeling like I have some big advantage.
Disclaimer-Please know that I am so excited and that I am so grateful for the privilege to be a parent, I know that some people are unable to get to this place and I am not complaining. I promise. I just had to get this off my chest so that hopefully I can move on, because one way or another in a few short weeks, Wee will be here!

You will do fine. You don't need an instruction manul. You will know what to do and when to ask for help. That is the way it is being a mom!
Relax. It is the most fun you will ever have!
Mamma
I heard that when the bambino pops out (painlessly of course) that all the maternal knowledge you need to know is instilled in you! I promise. No one would lie about this. right????
That is exactly how I feel!! I have been saying the same thing to Dan!
You will be a fabulous mommy!! Wee is so lucky! Sure it can be daunting to think this tiny little person relies solely on you for survival, but your mommy instincts will kick in as soon as the cord is cut!! I'm so excited for you!
No worries! You are more than prepared to handle everything... Kids are really a learn-as-you go kind of project. Can't wait to meet Baby Wee!
You guys are going to be the best parents!!!
Any way you can change your mind???
You know I am teasing..you will be fab!! You just know most things cause God lets you learn them when you need to..and those times when yuo dont know...FAKE IT with the best of them!!
