I'm 19 weeks and I was just thinking how it's going to be quite the change for my husband and I when the time comes (around February). We get along perfectly and I don't have any worries about us transitioning to parenthood.
It's just I'm going to miss snuggling before we sleep through the night. Going out on a whim and take no time to get ready; only putting my shoes on and heading out. Staying out late whenever or driving an hour out to try our luck at the slots. Or going to the bar for dinner and coming back home to watch anime with more brewskis.
But we did plan this and I have zero regrets. We get to start a family and that feels more fulfilling to me than partying with my husband all the time. It'll just be sometimes after my little man doesn't need me as much lol.
I don't regret anything especially with how much support we have. I'm anticipating a big change and I think it's valid I feel that way.

I remember when my cousin was pregnant with their first and they now have a boy and girl and are done. She felt the same but after having their son, she could even imagine life without him. Or both now😊
I understand that feeling too. Im almost 30 weeks with a girl, our first too

I know how you feel! Also 19wks with my first and I think about this often. I'm so excited to start a new journey with my husband but I know I'll miss the years of just us two.
