I can’t believe it’s so close to delivery time! At first I was in such disbelief and shocked regarding my pregnancy. Now that I’m in the last leg of my pregnancy I have different feelings now. I’m happy and sad at the same time. Happy to be able to meet my little one and sad that I will never experience pregnancy kicks and grow a life again. The different emotions I experienced from beginning to now, I think I’ve experienced everything on the spectrum. I wish I would have not been so emotional and in denial to be able to enjoy the process and miracle happening. Now that I am almost finished I am enjoying the last few days I have left. The things I will miss are the kicks and feeling baby move, baby being so close to my heart.

I have noticed that since it’s close to delivery time, my five year old has been really clingy lately and wants to act like a baby. He was the baby of the family. Having older children, they always babied him because of the big age gap between them. At first he was excited and for years ask for a baby. The closer it gets and getting everything together, the more it becomes real for him. For others who have dealt with that, how did you deal with it? Did it get better once delivered?
