Bringing baby home from the hospital doesn't necessarily freak me out. I've got my sister on speed dial already and fairly confident if anything comes up the phone call will solve all my problems. I've been around babies and children enough that this part doesn't phase me not even a little. I love kids! I've been longing for motherhood.
What freaks me out...
1) Breastfeeding. No one talks about this.
2) Giving birth...a little bit, but breastfeeding scares me more.
3) Finding a pediatrician. I am not qualified to find a good pediatrician. Where is my sister now? Maybe she can come down & research all the peds for me! Oh wait, maybe Ruth can go with me since she's a peds nurse. Or maybe I'll just drive an hour to see a good pediatrician. Oh wait, I want a local doctor. But whose any good? Ahh!
4) Registering/Buying the right products! My sister isn't here to go register for everything with me. What if I pick bad bottles? What if those "safe" things aren't so safe? Do I let things like price influence my purchases? What is the best of the best? Oh geez!!
