Tell me this is normal
I've been stressing big time for the past 2 days over getting a baby. On Monday, I got our Benefit renewal rates from our carrier, and I started to think about all of the cost of healthcare for a baby, and formula because I refuse to breastfeed. Then I started panicking that we would not have the storage space for toys, and that there may not be enough insulation in the upstairs bedrooms to keep the baby warm and a brazillian other things that Jimmy and I already discussed to death, and we've made budgets and plans, but it's starting to freak me out anyway.
What if I get hungry one night and actually eat the baby?

Re: Tell me this is normal
Why? Because it tastes really good over braised baby?

Did you like Rob's Island?
If so, you could always move there and I would be willing to share a 50/50 baby split. Breastfeeding solved. And there is a 35% chance the kid will be cute. And a 90% chance they will be handy, which will be helpful in a few years.
The eating the baby, I'm not sure about. yeah they are fatty, but so is kobe beef. I can eat the *** out of kobe beef.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Whatever you do, DO NOT wrap your baby in bacon.
If you find yourself tempted to eat her, just cover her in burnt pine nuts. Those ruin everything.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I just looked it up, and apparently a baby is 8947 WW points. Totally not worth it, even if you split it up into a few meals.
It sounds to me like this is your brain's way of getting excited without getting excited. YouknowwhatI'msayin? This whole process is out of your control, so you're freaking out over the stuff you DO have control over. And since you don't need to read up on how to take care of some stupid white baby's hair, you're worried about insulation. Seems totally normal to me.

I'm sure it's normal. Your mind is probably wanting to get all excited, but is still scared from the rollercoaster you guys went on last time. Add a layer of extra scared because holyshityou'regoingtobeaparent and your anxiety seems pretty standard to me.
This thread just reminds me of how flippin excited I am for you. YAY

Dieters trick. Sprinkle some sweet n low on the baby. That'll make it unappetizing.
Or better yet, ask for a doggie bag as soon as the baby arrives. You won't eat it if you put it away for later.
Ooooh, do you know the sex?
You're going to be awesome. I am not worried. Babies don't really need that much besides food and love.
Is your friend going to give you her breastmilk or did that ship sail?
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
It didn't work for me.
I'm loving the combination of sincere and hilarious responses here.
I don't know nothin about birthin no babies (or about adoptin babies birthed by someone else), but I think you're feeling the normal amount of anxiety. It's like pre-wedding jitters, only instead of being nervous about your first night of the S-E-X, it's anxiety about a tiny human who will be expelling bodily fluids on you at random for the next several years. Hmm...I guess it's a lot more like the pre-wedding jitters than I realized.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
