Worrying about the baby
| Tue, 01-03-2006 - 12:10pm |
While I still wish my DD had waited I'm now really looking forward to being a Grandma, but all of a sudden I'm having all kinds of anxiety.


I think its all normal.
God could not be everywhere, so
(((((((((Marci)))))))))) First thing to do is take a deep breath. I know it's probably easier said than done, but that's where you need to start. Your health - both mentally and physically - come first.
The anxiety is normal though. But Donna is right - I think this baby will be a good change for you. He/she already has you thinking "outside the box" ;) Patience (or lack thereof) is something I have struggled with as long as I can remember. But, when it comes to babies, there's no struggle. It's odd. But then look at the source.....I'm odd. LOL!
When she was real tiny she had a floor gym with jungle animals that she really loved. It kept her very content.
It's not easy but you can make modifications. Of course you need to take care of yourself if it becomes too much. You might check for referrals on low/no cost child care as a possible option as the baby gets bigger.
Gotta go, mine is waking up from a nap.
