Am I completely irrational for being scared about how much I'm going to love this kid? I can't even put into words how much I love my mom, like it hurts me to think about it.
I don't know if it's irrational, but not something to worry about. It's a different kind of love.
That said- as a general warning/FYI, it's also normal to not feel much once the initial emotions wear down. Not everyone gets that unconditional love right away.. It was about 6 months before I really developed that maternal love and bond
Hmmm @osw we tried michaels, homegoods, and target
I think it must just be a weird size because nothing fits (cuz I don't feel like I'm being that picky). Lol
We use a local place, which isn't helpful except that I hope you have a cool local place you can find Ours refinishes things and such. We've also had luck at antique shops.
Agreed on staying cautious. She also mentioned sending me a text message, which I definitely haven't gotten (and would have read). She keeps apologizing, and specifically said she knows the whole thing played out very unprofessionally. I'm really hoping this will have her on high alert with me from now on and it'll work out.
H was being very sweet when it looked like we were going to let her go, talking about all the research he'd be doing so I wouldn't feel like I was missing anything.
The fact that she's acknowledging that the whole thing did not play out professionally, and is not trying to brush it off makes me feel better about her than your earlier posts did. I would expect her to be seriously on top of everything with you from now on to make up for it.
icedtea I could look past the text message not being sent/received. I can't tell you how many times I've had people go "did you get my text??" and didn't either because I needed to reset my phone or their's didn't send it properly. I have to reset my phone every 1-2 weeks to make sure I get all messages

How recently did she change her number?
I'm not sure. We were texting on her old number as of March 16th. So maybe it was a really recent thing and she just lost track? She's been so apologetic that it's making me feel better in general. I think she might be a bit disorganized, but I'm no longer scared she won't show up to my birth.
