I'm Much Too Young to Feel This Damn Old...

So, I blame Timehop for today's random thought of the day, but this has actually been on my mind a lot lately. It feels like just yesterday I was slamming dollar beers on Thirsty Thursday and planning my next spring break trip to Panama City. My biggest concern was making sure I wasn't too hungover to show up to my job at Old Navy on Saturday morning.
Now, I'm somebody's wife, and about to become somebody's mother. I spend my Thursday nights trying to stay awake long enough for Grey's Anatomy to come on, and my vacation plans are made around my baby bump. My biggest concerns range anywhere from how we're going to pay for a baby, to the best way to ward off stretch marks, to the landscaping we're planning for the backyard.
I have moments where I sit and think...."How in the absolute hell did I get here?" Don't get me wrong, I am finally getting everything I have ever wanted for my life, and I'm beyond thrilled about it, but it's a little mind blowing sometimes. 90% of the time, I feel like a little girl playing grown up in someone else's life. I get up in the morning and put a suit on to go to work and think, "I'm too young for this. This can't possibly be me."
I'm 27 years old, but I still feel like I'm "playing grown up". Is it just because it all happened so fast? I started my new job (which was a significant career leap) in 2014, got married in 2015, and got my BFP 3 weeks later. Does anyone else ever feel this way? Is it normal? Or am I a crazy lady?
*Bonus points for anyone who gets my 90's country reference.
TL;DR: Most of the time I feel like I'm playing grown up in someone else's life. It confuses me.
