So ready!

So I have been feeling super anxious with this upcoming birth of our second baby. I am scared, yeah, really scared. Is that normal? My husband is away for work for the next two weeks only coming home on the weekends and he just informed he could be away all month. That scares me even more. I think the reason why I am feeling this way is because I will be home alone and what if my water breaks in the middle of the night and I cannot get a hold of anyone to help me. I know I worry to much. Even with all of these worries, I am really excited for this pregnancy to be over, but even better is meeting this sweet little baby! I cannot wait for that part. The pushing and pain, not so much. If anyone would like to offer me some soothing advice I would love it. I really hope I do not have to push for 5 hours like I did with Sophie.

I feel your pain Nikki! I hope you can make it through the next 6 weeks. As you know they are always the hardest and even harder when you have a little one to take care of. Hang in there and just take so time to breath or vent on the blog! :)

My Dr. kept telling me the second birth would be better and i didn't really believe him until i did it and it really was better. So, according to my Dr. the second one is always better and for me he was right! I hope that helps!

I've been told that with each kid it gets easier & faster...so if you did 5 with Sophie I bet you'll be a lot less than that with this one... I was about 6 1/2 hours total with Malia and only 1 hour with Cole. So no worries!! And at least this time you kind of know what to expect so it's not as scary that way! Good luck! I can't wait to see your next sweet little baby!!

My water broke right as David was getting off of work. (Luckily) I still drove to the hospital. I only had one contraction on the way while I was on the freeway. It wasn't too bad. So, if your water does break you could drive yourself like I did. Maybe I am just crazy!!!

You will do just fine, i'm sure. Two kids a a piece of cake. It really ins't that bad at all. I was scared to death too to have 2 kids, but it is actually easier, especially when the youngest is older and they can play. It is a TON of fun. You will LOVE it, i'm sure. You will be just fine, i'm sure. It might take the first couple of months to used to things and on schedule. I got emotional when I had my 2nd child because I felt that Austin was so used to getting all of the attention and I didn't want him to feel left out, but that was being post-partum...the fun stuff. Oh the joy of motherhood/parenting huh! Good luck. Hope all goes well. Can't wait to see your new bundle of joy.

Wish I could offer good advice about the 2nd child but I'm in the same boat you are. If you need some rest, call me. I'd come get Sophie. Would she come with me? I haven't seen you guys since Sophie was a small baby!
