Does any other mommy feel this way?

Question

I have four kids. I'm 36. I absolutely love my family! Four month ago I found out I was pregnant. .. and it was a shock. We were... done. But, there is nothing sweeter than babies. I am happy...I mean, I know I will be. Right?

I even took pics of a newborn today (photographer,) and I thought I would get excited after holding her and positioning her and.... I wasn't. It made me worried. My oldest is 15 & youngest is 10... I really hope I will see baby girl and all this will just be unneeded anxiety... because as soon as I hold her I will feel differently right?? 
Any one else feeling not connected to what is happening in your body? 
How could I look at this all day and not be excited about my own coming in 5mths??

Answer

you weren't ready nor expecting it,  therefore it is understandable. I have a 15 year old to be son, 10 year old son and a 3 month old daughter. I am 33 years of age, and I NEVER wanted children or so I thought. They are a blessing from GOD HIMSELF AND IF I was able to, I'd be honored to care for as many of HIS Children, as HE pleases to bless my womb. there are MILLIONS throughout that CANNOT have children that pray for, and spend thousands upon thousands of dollars hoping to do so. praying for you sis, maybe once you start showing and baby moves, you'll be thrilled. I know it really didn't seem real for me til I was about 6 months long. I am READY to make another one already lol

Answer

Yep. I felt the same with baby #3 who is due in April..not that I was "done" per say. but my youngest had just turned 1 when I found out. I was in no way ready for another baby.. I already have a baby! But my husband was really supportive and I pondred and realized that Thi baby is a gift. Others struggle just to have one, and I'm upset to have another.   Fast forward to 24 weeks and I'm feeling baby so much and I look at my two crazy, wonderful kids and it makes me happy. I wasn't ready. But was I ever really ready to be a mom the first time? Or the second? Not really. It gets easier in some ways But as with every new addition there will be challenges. Just hang in there mama,I'm sure it will all work out.
