Hi Ladies and thanks for visiting.

I ask myself sometimes, did it really happen to me? If any of you are like me, then this describes you perfectly: You're nearing 30 and up until now, you felt you were happy with your life. You've completed you education and are settled into a growing career. You shop, enjoy the money you make and spoil yourself often. You've had a few long-term relationships, but during single spouts, you've certainly enjoyed the dating scene. Maybe you party with your friends, go out until late hours of the night and think to yourself, life can't get any better than this. I'm young, I'm stable, I'm beautiful and I hope it never changes.

And then, HE comes into your life. You know the one. He's the guy you have been wanting all your entire life; the guy only OTHER people get. He's tall, sexy with gorgeous blue eyes. His party days are behind him; he has a career and enjoys spending all his free time with you. He's funny, romantic, tender and sweet and yes ladies, a tiger in the bedroom. Before you know it, this fabulous piece of work has changed your care-free, self-absorbed life-style into a loving partnership. Everything you wanted changes, and one day, ask yourself how you ever cared about such stupid things, and how all you need in this world to complete you, is the love of a child and the joy of motherhood, and the love of a family you've created. Did it happen to me?

Yes.

My boyfriend and I have made the decision to begin a family, and I could not be happier about it. I hope that through this journey, I can share my joy and my fears, and ask lots of questions to you all. This will be the best time in our lives.

Good luck and best wishes to you all!

Wow Sweetie, what a terrible dream! *hugs*

Your mom is right, before he is even born, you are already a mother. :)

I love you and I love Braidy. I can't wait to meet him...or to touch him without putting my hand down your pants.

haha I totally agree. I've really never felt more unattractive in my life. I just can't wait till it's over with. haha

aww well thanks,it's been rough but I know it will be worth it in the end. How's your pregnancy going so far?

thank you so much for taking the time to share your opinion. I hope all is well with you and your little boy!

I was so relieved to know that my baby is healthy, but now it's just a horrid feeling that actually lowers my self esteem and I can't do anything about it. I have never been this heavy and I know it's not my fault. I will try to enjoy my vacation, but it's going to be hard. Thanks for the advice. How are you doing?

mrskcich - Tuesday, 15 July
oh believe me, you aren't the only one that feels that way. All mother's have major anxiety issues if not once during their pregnancy....all the way through it.

Good luck!

I have just read your bit about the libra child. The bit about the sweets made me smile, I have craved chocolate soo badly with this pregnacey I have been trying to force myself to be good because I don't want to gain too much weight or have a big baby but it would seam that it has started it's demands early! lol

mrskcich - Friday, 11 July
hey you! I read your latest incerpt and all of your fears are completely natural. Even though my oldest is 11, I still worry about some of the same things believe it or not. It's called being a mom and you know, if you didn't worry about these things, then that would be something to worry about.

As a mother, we are made to worry about things. Things like are you doing everything to prevent your child from becoming the next Jeffrey Dahmer, Manson, or school shooter. All you can do is your very best. From day one, I was amazed at how natural things came to me. Will you make mistakes? ABSOLUTELY! But that is what makes us human.

Being scared about the labour....don't listen to the horror stories...everyone labours differently and just know that in the end, regardless how bad it hurts or however many stitches you may need, when you look at Braidy for the first time it was all so worth it because without what you will go through, he wouldn't be here.

Even with being pregnant with my 4th, I still worry that somehow my husband won't be there to meet my daughter. Regardless what the reason...my biggest fear is that something will happen to him some time from now till then, or just after. My hormones get the best of me sometimes and I will sit there and cry in his arms about how I don't want to and can't live my life without him. Of course he is so wonderful, that he will just hold me and let me cry...he tries to reassure me that nothing will happen. Even though he doesn't know that as the truth-no one does, but it helps to know he is there for me at that point in time.

When you do get to bring Braidy home...don't panic over the small things and know that every mother (and some fathers) regardless how many they have, get up in the middle of the night to feel the back of that sweet precious life to make sure they are breathing. It's natural. Don't think you are being overly cautious or paranoid by sleeping in a recliner with him on your chest so you can feel him breathe throughout the night or to "make sure" you can hear him if he awakes. Again, you are a mother and all these feelings are those that good mother's have.

As Braidy grows and possibly becomes a big brother, you will again worry about all of the same things and you will know you weren't foolish because they are all things that should be thought about. Know that as he gets older and you have to punish him or tell him no, there are reasons that he won't understand until he is grown with kids of his own.

I am dealing with my 11 yr old wanting to ride his bike to his friends...out of my view! You never imagine yourself worrying about these things but I am slowly learning to let go of him to thrive into a pre-teen. Of course, this all comes with major anxiety. We sit down to eat dinner at night...always at the table, as a family, because I'm determined that if the parents of the school shooters or other kids that made a wrong turn somewhere, were to have a meal with their family...their mother would have seen a sign that something wasn't sitting right. It's maternal instinct.

My two oldest, 11 and 8, always tell me I am over protective and paranoid because I worn them of strangers and won't let them go off by themselves in a store. If they have to go to the restroom in a public place, they have to go together and wait by the door for the one that isn't done. I know they think I am over protective but they wil learn as they get older that I am only like this because I care so deeply for that little one (that's not so little anymore) that at one time could only live by me "protecting them"

You are completely normal, so ease your mind...you will have plenty of time to worry,for that sweet innocent life you are about to bring into the world. The worries don't stop once they're here...they will just truely begin.

I think that it is great that you are thinking about all these things. You are already being a good mom by thinking about any obsiticles you may have. I think that you will always fear for your life, your child's and Aarons. You will stress about how you punished them, what word they here, and then how to explain the rest of the worlds behavior. Everytime that my husband is really late or can't get back to my in a resonable amount of time I fear the worst. You will get caught in this whirlpool that is motherhood and probably won't have time to think about too many problems until they get older. Once they are here you just know what to do. You really will. And about breastfeeding it may be trouble, but don't get dissappointed. I recomend buying a pump, then if he has trouble latching on, or it hurts you can pump. You will produce, it just happens. You sound like a wonderful person and your child will be well taken care of. Just take advantage of any support around you.

Hey mama ` how are you doing?! and lil baby braidy?? and.. babyyyfather.

; xoxo

alijo - Friday, 11 July
Yup. It's good that baby is healthy and I am very grateful and do not take anything for granted. I know that I am lucky. Still, it's hard sharing your body with another person. I wish I could just take a few days off while my husband babysits, but obviously that's out of the question lol. Hopefully the fall will be here before we know it and we'll have our sweet babies home.
