I'm 16 weeks pregnant, and I'm not excited. I'm feeling happy, but my joy comes from being able to see my partner and his family so happy. I've always wanted to be a mom, but I don't feel the excitement I would have expected. It doesn't feel like me, and I'm feeling a little disconnected from myself.<br><br>I think part of the reason is because I'm still trying to come to terms with the whole thing myself. I'm going through a lot of changes, and I'm feeling a bit lost. I don't feel like myself, and everything feels very surreal. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream, and it's hard to connect with reality.<br><br>I'm also feeling a bit disconnected from my partner. I love him very much, and I'm grateful for the love and support he's showing me. But it's hard for me to see him so happy when I'm not feeling the same way. I feel like I'm missing out on something, and it's making me feel a bit sad.<br><br>I know that it's okay to feel this way, and that it's normal to have mixed emotions during pregnancy. But it's hard for me to see everyone around me being so happy and excited when I'm not feeling the same way. I feel like I'm letting them down, and it's making me feel a bit guilty.<br><br>I'm trying to focus on the good things, and I'm reminding myself that it's okay to feel this way. I'm going to try to be more patient with myself, and I'm going to focus on taking care of myself and my baby. I'm going to try to connect with my partner more, and I'm going to make sure he knows how much I appreciate him and his love and support.<br><br>Overall, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I'm trying to stay positive. I'm going to try to be more patient with myself, and I'm going to focus on taking care of myself and my baby.
