Pregnant with baby #3
I have two wonderful young kids. I have always wanted a third but when it came down it, I was scared of doing it all over again: the pregnancy, the baby phase, losing myself to motherhood, balancing a high demand job with my kids (still haven’t figured this out yet), being enough for each of my children while having time for my husband. It is hard enough with two little ones.
I just found out I am pregnant, and I’m happy for my kids who will have a sibling, my husband is excited beyond measure, even though he’s not oblivious to the fact that this is going to be HARD.
But I’m so damn anxious, I don’t know if its because I have two little ones and pregnancy is a scary thing, or because I know how hard everything can be x2, but I just find myself nervous as an overwhelming emotion, but happy for the future because I want those three kids and I can’t wait to have this baby grow with our family. It’s just the getting there part.
Is this normal? Moms who have three — please share your experiences/ any advice is welcome.
