52 2 emotional

Being a mom is a job I take pretty seriously. It is the hardest and yet most fulfilling job I've had. And I know with two kids it is only going to get even harder and even more fulfilling. 2 days until baby girl's due date and I'm riding the never ending emotional, hormonal roller coaster. Up, down, side to side, I can't seem to get off. Excited about her arrival, getting things in place and ready, excited to meet baby girl and snuggle her, nervous about what it means for Carter, sad that I physically won't be able to scoop Carter up after my c-section, questioning how I'll pull off two kids, am I enough and do I have enough to raise two kids and instill the values that we find so important? I just hope that I have what it takes.

What's funny about all of this is I went through these same emotions before Carter was born.... only I had these feeling towards Tucker and Kody, my dogs. Oh how their lives were going to change and they had no idea and I was so sad for them, but so excited to have a baby. I remember Joe calling me from work and I'd be sitting at the desk crying. Fast forward and now it is the same scenario only times about 100. Holy hormones.
