That wave of natural mommy-emotion...?

Question

I've got 9 days before my little boy will be here... I'm starting to get weepy thinking that my pregnancy will be over... I'm also getting that protective-know it all vibe all of a sudden. Just a few weeks ago, I was feeling worried and somewhat scared of what was to come, now I feel like I have nothing to worry about... Where does this sense of empowerment come from? They should make a pill out of this stuff... What are your experiences with this natural wave of mommy-emotion???

Answer 1

Its hormones! Its also nesting instinct! You feel really special while you are pregnant, and you may think that once the baby is born then that is all over with. Its not. You are even more special after the baby is born. Just think, who will be there when the baby is crying with a poopy diaper in the middle of the night, and cant sleep for another 2 hours? You. And you wont be mad. You will just do it because that is your sweet baby. Its instincts, and its great!!! Your baby will be the love of your life. Mine is.

Answer 2

I go between the "OMG I am having another baby" to "yep another baby..YAY!" The I think about how to manage my house hold..then I think about how sweet and cozy new babies are..it's great huh? After I give birth though..I am SUPERWOMAN! I feel like I can do anything then! =)
