Mentally Preparing for Baby {Join the Conversation & Win!}

At the hospital when my daughter was born – 2008

This week on the Philips AVENT Mom Tribe at Mom Bloggers Club we’re chatting about the thoughts and fears and excitement that literally consume moms-to-be leading up to new baby’s arrival. I’m still a few months from worrying about the pain of labor, when it will occur and what to pack in my hospital bag. But, that doesn’t mean it’s too early for me to think (a lot) about my fears and anxiousness surrounding the arrival of this baby.

My concerns are not so much about how baby will arrive (labor and delivery) as what it will be like when baby is here. Living in our house. Making us a family of five. To be completely honest, barely a day goes by that I don’t think, “How in the world am I going to have another kid?” Raising kids is hard (duh!) and my husband and I will soon be outnumbered. Zone defense time! I know I’ll be asking advice of moms of 3 over at the Philips AVENT Mom Tribe and would love your advice about making the change from two to three kids.
