A little scared

I have been so happy and excited the past few days, I can't believe in less then 50 days we could have  a baby!!  I could have my first son!!  I can't believe I'm weeks from being a mom!!  I just look at my belly and think, he's coming out of there soon!!!  It's getting so big, I know he's getting tight in there!
Last night, we went to visit a friend at the hospital who just had her baby boy!  He was sooo cute and sweet!  He was 7 and half lbs so just a good size, but still sooo tiny!  I just held this one day old baby thinking, I'm going to have my very own soon!!!  I seriously just wanted to jump up and down shouting with joy!!  I just want to see him sooo bad, I want to count his little toes and kiss his soft cheeks!
As we talked a little I could tell the mom was so sore and extremely exhausted, I left the hospital with mixed feelings, totally excited but also a little scared, how will my labor go, what does it feel like?  how long will it be?  will everything go smooth or will there be complications? Will I be able to walk the next day or so sore, I just lay in bed??  Then after we bring him home?? that's a whole other set of questions!  I know people keep saying everything will be great, but they don't know anything more then I do!!  Yes my mom had pretty smooth deliveries but that doesn't mean I will!
I read a great quote though that said, Heavenly Father made our bodies to have babies, so we really are superwomen!  I really think and feel everything will be okay and work out, but I think it's normal to have a little fear of the un-known! I keep telling myself it'll all be worth it to hold my baby in my arms!!
I'm so excited, I keep trying to think when he'll come and how it'll all happen!!??  in the night? at work?  at home? when will I start having contractions?  will I know this is the real deal when it starts?  Will I be one of the moms who is sent home  3 times before the real event??
We have our first birthing class tomorrow!! I'm pretty excited! we'll see if I learn something new!!
