STMs how are you handling the emotions of your final solo weeks with your first šŸ˜­

It just hit me the other day - I only have 3 more weeks of just me and my first boy. My sweet 4 year old thatā€™s a total mamaā€™s boy. I have to admit, Iā€™ve been pretty clingy and have fallen down the slippery slope of letting him come in to bed with us for a few minutes in the morning to get some snuggles inā€¦I know this will come back to haunt me when our baby will be here and in our room alreadyā€¦ I donā€™t even know how to feel. Iā€™m sad that these are the final days of just us three. Iā€™ll miss all the time and attention Iā€™ll be able to give my first born. Iā€™m excited to see him become a big brother. Iā€™m scared itā€™ll be a hard transition for him. Iā€™m nervous I havenā€™t prepared him (or myself) enough for this new life of ours.

Iā€™ve been giving my girl so much love and attention whenever I can. Sheā€™s been extra lovey and cuddly and I feel like she can tell in a way but whenever I think about it I still feel sad and guilty. My daughter is turning one on Friday so I just feel like I didnā€™t give her enough of my time by herself. I know sheā€™ll be such a good big sister to her baby brother, sheā€™s the sweetest ever but I just canā€™t get over the guilt. Itā€™s made this pregnancy so hard to enjoy.

This hit me recently too! My girl is three. I've been taking the time to play Barbies and mermaids with her since that's all she's been asking for. I also have some Halloween events to do with her just me and her before her brother comes. I can't believe it will never be just her again. My husband isn't worried about it because he said adding the brother will just make everything better. Idk!

Iā€™ve cried a few times. Just trying to soak it in, have fun, and make some memories (for me not him, he wonā€™t remember, lol. Heā€™s 2) Also trying to potty train and get him used to not being carried. But those arenā€™t going well. We did finally move him to his room. Thatā€™s not going well either. I have to lay on the floor most nights til he falls asleep šŸ˜’

Same here. I miss our life as a family of 3 already
