It is great to be self aware. As far as the awkward part goes, in many ways your W is going to be like your kids. She can sense you might feel not completely confident and is thus hesitant herself just like your kids feed off your emotions.
If you act the part convincingly you will put her at ease, which will make it easier for you. When you are doing this beware of the little "tests" they will through out there to try to trip you up, to see if you are really confident, etc. Let these roll off your back....they are only tests
