Please don't get me wrong when I say this... but I think I'm a 'slow to warm up' type. lol I'm excited (bit more apprehensive than excited at the minute, but still excited), but s/he's not really anything more than a pea at the minute and there's always the chance s/he could leave us, so I'm doing my best to keep it healthy, but not get too attached at this point.
There are also a LOT of things to get our heads around. Hubby still wasn't certain he wanted kids, and thought he had almost a whole year to work it out in his head before we were in this position, so he's not in the best of mindsets. My mom and my sister miscarried their first times (not saying that would happen to me, just that it IS possible), so my mindset is more along the lines of 'K, have to keep them healthy... can be excited later, healthy is the word.' And there are lots of other little things that we wanted to be completely selfish with in the next year before we buckled down and started the baby process, so we're both still trying to 'quickly' move out of the selfish mode and on some things it's easier said than done. Bubble's not a 'mistake'... how could s/he be when we consciously had unprotected sex, knowing full well that a baby could be the result, but they weren't a 'planned' effort. Some people KNOW when babies are their future, we didn't so we've never gotten our hopes up or excited about the idea. Do I want a baby, of course and now that I'm pregnant I still want one, it's just going to take me (and hubby) time to get most of the selfishness out. Hubby more so than myself 'cause he still wasn't certain. Now he doesn't have a choice and that sucks for some people. Doesn't make him a bad person, nor does it mean he'll be a bad dad... just means he has less time than he thought to prepare himself mentally and emotionally. And he's a worrier, about EVERYTHING. We'll be fine, just forgive us, please, if the excitedness doesn't come across for a minute or two. This is so mental it's crazy. Hope everyone is well!
