Oh hormones... :(
I need a hug.
I'm starting to feel a mixture of emotions, which is really overwhelming. On one hand I am very excited to meet our baby girl and that makes me emotional in a good way. At the same time though I feel like I want more time with just me and DH. Everything is about to change and I just want to get as much time with him before she gets here. I feel silly for this because I want to have a baby and to be a family, but the reality of us no longer just being the two of us has really hit me the past few weeks.
I want to go on one last mini vacation before she gets here. Only problem is that there isn't really anything within the one or two hour driving radius of us and if we're going to go somewhere it has to be this weekend, since we're busy the next couple weekends, then I'll be way to far along to go anywhere. I just feel frustrated. I just want do have one night at a beautiful hotel somewhere with him and I can't figure out where.

It's just a mixture of emotions and you putting it out there makes me feel like I'm not the only weird one.
Last weekend we went out for breakfast, walked around the flea market, went to a bbq then came home to relax on the couch and it was nice. If I feel up for it this weekend I plan on doing something similar, and just enjoying our time together.
Don't be sad and just plan on any hotel or maybe just do something at home. Like go get a bunch of movies, junk food, turn off cellphones and sit on the couch all day.
I'm sending you a big hug because I know how you feel.
Can you find a hotel in the town/city where you live, and have a semi-staycation there, instead of going far away? You could do a fancy dinner out, and go back to the hotel and relax together. It could be really wonderful.
I do understand how you're feeling. I was just talking to someone yesterday about how big of an adjustment having the baby is going to be, after so many years alone with DH. I try to think of it as an adventure that we're going to be taking together, and it makes me feel less nervous.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.
