Debbie Downers

I’m 41. I’m ttc with my first baby and I am so happy! I talk to my Mom about having a baby and how excited I am to get pregnant and have my own baby, finally. My Mother yesterday told me I need to stop with the baby talk because I could be setting myself up for heartbreak. I understand that I may not be able to get pregnant, I understand that I could miscarry, I understand that my baby could be born severely handicapped. I UNDERSTAND that my baby could die. I understand that I could die in birth and I understand that the baby and I could both die in birth. But can’t I be excited, can’t I be happy thinking about the fact that I could have my own baby, my own little tiny human to love? Does this happen to anyone else? I want my moment like all my friends had years ago. I want to keep being positive but she makes it so hard sometimes. I just needed to vent. Anyone else have this happen? Love and Baby Dust to you all!
