Mommy-to-Be

Ryan and I have our last baby class today. It’s actually on newborns so it should be really informative. I find myself actually getting excited about the baby (only took me seven months). Ryan has been wonderful through all of it though and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be the daddy of my baby. 😛 While I have full confidence in him I fear that I won’t be a good mom, that I’ll screw up the baby for the rest of their life and they’ll never forgive me. I wonder if every mom has these feelings?

I got my first compliment yesterday from a good friend of mine. He said that I am going to be a great mom. I think I needed to hear that. Sadly he is the only person who’s told me this…My mom isn’t very helpful, when I sent her baby bump pictures she made a comment about how much weight I was gaining. Ugh…thanks mom. I don’t think I’d feel nearly as bad if my mom were just a little more supportive, instead she goes on and on about how my sister is such a great mom. It just makes me feel like crap.

Soon you will realize it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks but that little baby…and you’ll be the perfect mom. You might not feel like you have it in you now but the second you see that little face something happens.

i dont have a baby so this is only what others tell me but lots of people say when you have a baby you just know what to do. You already sound like you will be a great mum 🙂
