Scared

So I'm 37+3 weeks....and true reality is setting in...I'm going to be a mom very soon.
It seems almost silly to be scared when it was planned and its what we've been planning for the last 9months, but tonight I have this overwhelming feeling of being terrified. I guess just not knowing how I will handle my new life as a mother and balancing that with being a wife, a daughter, a sister...there's just so much that will change and I can only hope I have the strength and patience to be successful...
I know there's really no question in this post, but I guess by sharing my fear, i hope anyone else who may be feeling the same way will find comfort in knowing they aren't the only one.
Happy New Year Ladies, all the best in 2014 :-)

This is my third baby and I still get a little scared, but I remind myself that I'm a phenomenal woman and I can do it. Plus once u see your baby everything will come to u.

It's super common, some women stress themselves to the point of anxiety and depression.  Be excited, nothing can prepare you for the adventure ahead.  Your mind is your most powerful tool!
