Scary!

I'm a worrier. Let me just start by making that clear. Please don't interpret what I'm about to say as negative feelings about being pregnant or having a baby. I am excited, I am happy, but...



This is the scariest part of pregnancy for me. I've just entered my third trimester and things are really hitting home that I'll have a baby soon. I'm excited but also scared. I did the same thing last time. I start wondering about how everything is going to change? How we (specifically Levi) are going to handle those changes? If the baby is/will be alright? Is baby moving too much/too little? If I'll be alright? If my child will one day have a drug problem? (Those Intervention/Addicted commercials scare the day lights out of me.) You name it I've probably worried about it.

Adding to my apprehension tomorrow I have to sign a paper absolving the hospital of responsibility in the event of my death. I know in my head that this is just a paperwork thing that everyone does, but my hand still hesitates while signing that paper. A.) Do they think I'm going to die? B.) Who says they won't be responsible?


Thanks for reading.

I know what you mean...and then they ask what your religion is and if you want to sign a DNR...heck no...do all you can to save me!

i'm laughing...not at you but at me. i'm a "worrier" by nature too and just can't help the "what-ifs" that float by. i'm trying the "give it to God" lifestyle but that doesn't mean the thoughts don't enter my head. to add to it we found out what we are having this time so my 2 main concerns are (1) what if we've prepared for a boy and it turns out it's a girl? and (2) how do I handle a teenage boy?...because I don't think fart jokes are all that funny and boys do at all ages!

giggle You have such a great way of writing, Corin--I just couldn't help but giggle at your presentation! The things we're faced with sometimes! I don't remember having to sign such paperwork.
