And then there were five…

November 2, 2012

For the past thirty weeks of this pregnancy, being pregnant has been a complete after thought. Who has time to think about anything when you are crazy busy with two other rugrats?!? But once I crossed the thirty week threshold, the HOLY SH*T WE ARE HAVING A BABY feelings started.

This past weekend we purchased a “big girl” bedroom set for Gabby because she is getting the boot, really an upgrade, and getting a room with a bathroom attached. Mind you we have totally not set foot in the big girl realm of potty usage yet, but I’m hopeful. And so the nesting has started… I’ve been organizing closets, glancing over baby equipment and starting to make preparations for baby time.

Despite the fact that I have “occasionally” blogged about my insecurities of adding to our brood, I’m officially embracing the scared feelings I have. For the longest time, and still a part of me, has felt that even though I don’t like being pregnant, I’d like the baby to stay put. It’s easier toting the baby around in my belly than actually having to tend to another being with needs. But I am finally feeling like I’d like this baby to come so I can face my fears head on.

The whole schedule thing is beyond me. How I will ever get three children out of the house punctually seems impossible. How I will ever cope with running my two others around while having no sleep seems equally impossible. How I will ever deal with three kids screaming about three separate things and maintain any sanity at all…who am I kidding, I don’t have much sanity now (clearly). All of it seems pretty impossible.

People less intelligent than I have managed to survive three kids, right? People with less of a support system have managed this feat, right? And people smarter than I have screwed up children way worse than me, right?

So for now I’m seeing the doc every other week, I’m prepping the kids more and more and the house is getting more organized and ready for an addition (and not one that requires a general contractor). Life as we know it is about to change in a major way. Duh-to-duh…cue spooky music.
