Anticipation Anxiety.
I felt the same way when I was pregnant with Justin. Nick was 19 months old when I had Justin. I even asked someone, "My heart is so full of love for him, how can I possible have as much love for this new baby?" That was so silly looking back on it. But I worried! Just remember to take care of yourself, as well as them, and you will do ok. If you feel like you are not acting normal for you, talk to your doc about getting on meds. I just did that myself and it is helping.
Your love and time for each child will multiply in abundance!

We have a lot of the same fears and guilt. Right now I'm feeling so bad that I don't want to take Hannah outside (it's way to humid). I've let her watch more TV this weekend than she has in her entire life!
My husband has a bad back. All weekend he couldn't (or wouldn't) do anything. How am I going to do this by myself when the baby is here. I told him I guess I would have to move in with my parents if/when his back flares up when the new baby is born.
Hannah doesn't sleep through the night. I'm barely surviving now. I am gone over 14 hours a day Mon-Thur. By the time I get home, fix something to eat, and give Hannah a bath it's already time for me to be in bed too (I get up at 4:00am).
Don't get me wrong. I love Hannah and I already love the bean growing in me. I just don't know how I'm going to survive!
I have no advice, just wanted to let you know I can relate.
I talked to one girl at work who's children are two years apart. She said the first year of her baby's life she doesn't remember. She said all I was doing was working, making bottles, and changing diapers. She said now that they are 6 and 8 it is so easy.
We will make it through this! We really are blessed to have the opportunity to be Mommies!

Thank you, I really thought about it carefully after I came to my senses about whining about petty stuff. I am blessed to have children so I am changing my attitude and trying to find positive from here on. Your right we will make it through and every day will not be easy but I am sure it gets a little easier as they get older. (we can only hope) especially since I will have two teenage girls at one time...YIKES poor DH.
