Last night DH and I were laying in bed listening to music while he was rubbing my feet and legs. We were just talking about what we were excited for most when the babies come and what we want to do with them when they are older. My eyes started to tear up because as much as I'm excited for these babies to come, I got sad because I know these types of nights and moments with DH are limited. I know our relationship will be different and better but I will definitely miss the relationship we currently have. Did anyone else feel this way?

Yes. I have had feelings like this on and off since I found out I was pregnant. I have no advice but to cherish the moments and know you're not alone in thinking that!
-
You will still have those moments but it won't be every night, especially not in the early days. But kids go to bed and you'll have time with your DH to dream and spend quality time together. And you'll have moments of even more togetherness and closeness once LO arrives.

@.twist.: Good to know I'm not the only one feeling this way.
@London Mama: Thank you! I needed to hear that
-
I agree with @London Mama: 100%

I feel this way! Not just because of hormones, I don't think...it's weird knowing that our lives will never be the same! And really they haven't been since before pregnancy started since so much changes over these 9 months.
-
yeah, i definitely feel this way and it's compounded by the fact that i only get to see DH on the weekends because he's in school OOT M-F. so i get all weird sometimes.
-
@tororojo: Exactly! I guess it is all about finding a new normal and making sure to try and keep some semblance of what the old normal was like
@birdofafeather: That must be tough. I couldn't even imagine only seeing DH on the weekends.
-
I definitely feel this way. I'm totally scared of how our relationship and quality time will change. Fear of the unknown, I guess!

@WALLAROO: I totally feel this way. I am soo excited for our little men to get here, but sometimes I find myself thinking that I wish we would have waited just a little longer so DH and I could have had more time. Then, I feel horrible for even thinking that because I'm so excited about our babies and I wanted them sooo much!
My theory is that anytime you leave one stage and enter into another, it's normal to "mourn" that stage a little bit, even while you are looking forward to the next. DH and I have had an amazing time just being the two of us, and I think it's okay to be a little sad about leaving that stage, even though I know that I will never regret moving into our life as a family of four.
