Ready or NOT

[ASJ]

Had a doctor appt. today and found out baby is about 7 and a 1/2 lbs.  I am 38 weeks and ready for her to arrive, (so I think), yet when doc says okay, could be soon (like next week).  I am suddenly slammed with the reality that there is going to be another little life my husband and I are going to have to raise (not meant to say we don't want to).  I am just almost really NOT ready.  How, after 9 months am I wondering if we are ready.  Of course I do not know what it will be like to have 2 kids of my own but seriously, the crib isn't even cleared out (not too big of a deal), we don't have anything except a bouncer, a high chair and plenty of girl clothes for ages 0-3 years.  And of course almost forgot the diapers...  more diapers, 2 stinkin' sizes.  I barely even remember my daughter when she was sooo helpless (it was only 2 and a 1/2 years ago-pathetic I don't remember).  Wierd that I feel more nervous for #2 than I did for #1.  Very strange.  Anyway, I guess I will not really be ready until she gets here.
