I can hardly believe that the time is near when we will meet our little “Rube”. Over the past month I have had several showers and must say that everyone has been so generous. With the exception of formula (which can’t be purchased yet) we have everything that we need to bring her into this world. Kevin will have to post some pictures of my showers. I’m still writing thank-you notes so if you haven’t received one yet, it is on the way!
Also of note, my friend Lisa, that was referred to in a previous post, had her triplets! They are adorable and are all healthy and at home. They were born a few weeks early but are doing great. They named them Preston, Paige, and Presleigh. I have enjoyed spending time helping out and visiting over the past 2 weeks as I know that my days are numbered.
When i think about the fact that I am going to be a Mom in less than a month it overwhelms me… will I do everything right? Will I hear her in the night when she cries? Can we do this financially? Will she trust me always? Will she have the relationship with me that I have have with my own Mom? I also worry that with us having come this far will something be wrong or is there something that my doctor is missing? I know that these fears have to be common and that I’m probably silly for worrying about them. And I send myself off to sleep every night with these questions…praying to my God that He carries out His plan and that He will watch over her and help us to guide her and enable us to watch her grow big and strong and take on this world and all of its craziness!
Jessica,
All of the worries are natural for a new mom and will make you appreciate her that much more. You will be fine and you and Kevin will be great parents. Will you make all the right decissions? No, it’s a learning experience and you will learn from your mistakes. Try to enjoy yourself now and worry only when you need to, I know that’s easier said than done because I can remember being in those shoes.
I love you guys!
Heather
