I am convinced that there is absolutely no way that you will be 100% ready for your first child. It is a huge life-changing event that you will not understand until you go through it, so how can you get yourself completely ready for it? The best thing about it is though, that once you're thrown into it you'll take to it like a duck to water. As you and your baby start to get to know each other, you realize that you really DO know what you're doing. So don't worry if you don't feel ready for it before it happens. I didn't!
