STM, freaking out

I have just found out I am pregnant again, it wasn't planned but of course a lovely welcomed surprise Smile. We have a soon to be 2 year old and now the positive test has sunk in I can't stop freaking out! I feel happy but also worried and nervous. We always wanted 2 but always said we would try next year for a 3 year age gap. The age gap isn't what worries me. All my worries seem to stem from Covid(!!). I haven't been out anywhere other than for walks with my daughter and now I have to go to all my appointments. Just feels very nerve wrecking. But my biggest concern is our daughter. She started nursery at 6 months due to be having to return to work and then came out of nursery due to Covid at 14 months. She absolutely loved going but obviously now won't remember it. She has only known me and my husband as she hasn't been around family/friends. Our family all work in high risk places so we felt it was safer to not take the risk of family seeing her. I am just worried it will all be too much for her, that the change will be too big. Just even thinking about the night I give birth and she has to be away from us, she has never spent the night away from us, due to Covid but also our family has never wanted to offer any help. I have a very anayltic mind so can't help but think about all this. Please someone talk some sense in to me !!!

I forgot to mention that we have asked our daughter on seperate occasions if she is ready to be a big sister and she has said yes everytime with the biggest smile on her face but she's nearly 2 so not sure if she quite understands that being a big sister means a big change

Nurseries are back open though, and have been for months?

It is vanishingly rare to have your life ruined by a younger sibling. She'll be fine.
