The opposite of calm is????

Anxious...Scared...Nervous...Happy...Excited...Impatient...all these feelings are rattling around in my head.

Can I handle 3 kids?
Will I have the stamina to keep up with them?
Am I going to remember what to do with a tiny little baby?
How am I going to balance having a 5 year old, 4 year old, and newborn?
Am I going to remain sane when school starts back in August and I'm carting 3 kids around?

I am getting more and more nervous the closer the day comes to having her. The realization that another human is going to be dependent on me is getting me a little anxious. I feel somewhat stretched with the 2 kids and the hubby. I have not ever really been one that needs alot of "me" time or needs scheduled GNO (Girls night out). I feel like when I took on being a mother that my time is my family's time. I know there are many mothers out there that feel like they need that "me" time to survive. I guess I need my kids to survive.

I know all this anxiety will be completely gone once I see her adorable little face and feel her sweet touch. I almost feel like a first time mom again even those this is number three. I'm sure all mom's go through this. I bet Michelle Duggar gets a little anxious before the next baby comes out the shoot.

So in 3 days our little party of four will become a party of five.

Good luck! I felt the same going from one to two and it's interesting how it all "just happens".
