First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Your post just made me think about my first baby. It was a relatively easy delivery, I was happily married, my life was in order, I was a nurse and had tons of experience with little babies.
AND STILL
I couldn't believe I was going to be a mommy, it was very surreal. When it came time for discharge, I just couldn't believe that they would just hand me this baby and let me take her home. How did they know I was a good parent?? I have never done this before. It was just plain weird. So having placed or not, your feelings sound a lot like new mom feelings to me
Oh and since I'm here I'll give the same advice I give all new mom's to be. And you can't stop me!!!
Go out and buy ourself something new to wear for after the baby comes home. Not something fancy to go to a party in but still something you can feel pretty in. Try it on while your pregnant - you should be able to pull the bants up over your thighs but not (obviously) over your belly) with a stretchy waist and a top that goes over your lovely "maternal" boobs with a little room to spare. It's really nice to have something nice to wear that's new. Your old stuff won't fit for a while (or in my case....EVER
) and it's a little depressing parading around in sweats and maternity clothes that youre certainly tired of by now.
Hang in there!! You're on the home stretch!!!!!!!!
