Nervous? Excited? Anxious?

Our baby won't make her appearance for another 3 months, but I already get butterflies when I think about it! I'm not scared of the delivery yet, but I'm excited nervous and anxious about becoming a mom! Sometimes when she moves a lot I feel like crying because I'm so excited to feel her in my arms, and then the next feeling I get is a wave of nervous butterflies! Did anyone else feel like this? I'm hoping it's just a stage I'm going through.....

Thanks!

I always think about every mom I've ever seen who is just so great at doing everything for their baby -- changing diapers, burping, feeding -- like a pro, and it overwhelms me that I'll be doing that in very little time! Moms always seem to know what they're doing after the first few days (weeks?).... Will I too? I know I'll love her -- I've already got that part down pat! But the rest of it still overwhelms me. Also I feel so extremely lucky. I never took this baby making stuff for granted. I always guessed it would be a struggle and it was, but not nearly as difficult as I'd expected. I feel so darn blessed, honestly.
