Anyone else still in shock?

It’s my first pregnancy and it was a long road getting here. I am so excited but I am still not sure it’s hit me, even at 28 weeks. My house is filling up with furniture, and baby clothes and I know it’s happening, it just all still feels surreal. Anyone else still a little in shock?

Yes!! This is our first too, after trying for many years and multiple losses. It's all baby talk and research but it still feels so surreal! I sometimes wake up in the morning thinking I've been dreaming, and then he kicks and my heart is bursting all over again!!
It's incredible isn't it!

I don’t think it’s fully stank in that we’re gonna have 2 under 2 in March because this little girl has nothing at the minute… she has 1 outfit and a next to me so far and that’s only because they were on sale😂😂

100000% agree, I feel really clueless, unprepared, don’t know where to start, and still doesn’t feel real!

I'm the same! My first baby too. I don't think it'll sink in until

I was like that first time as well. Didn’t feel real, more so because we were having twins! Couldn’t have imagined what it would actually be like! Now I’m more prepared because I’ve done it before lol

Yes, it's been a long journey for us too. 2 previous pregnancy losses and I still feel like it's not real and can't imagine holding a baby in the end (maybe because I'm anxious of loss still). Until they're here and safe I'm not sure it's going to feel real.

Loool it’s my first too and every time I wake up I’m like omg wait I’m pregnant 😂😂😂 I genuinely forget. I think it’ll be real when I’m pushing and see my baby

I feel the same too, don't think it's hit me yet...😄

Its such a weird thing to get used to! The thought of our actual baby using all that stuff!!

Thank you all! I am so glad to know I am not alone in this weird realm of “is this real”

unprepared is the best word to use I think. I feel like I am winging it!
