Worries
I remember when all my focus and worry was surrounding being able to get pregnant. Now that we're approaching single digits of the number of weeks left until Junior arrives, I'm finding myself flooded with a new set of worries.
1. Am I going to know what to do and how to take care of such a little baby?
2. Am I going to be able to find a new job so that I can enjoy my time with Junior and have enough left to be a decent teacher?
3. Are we going to be able to afford the baby, let alone afford for me to drop to part time?
4. Am I going to screw up this child?
5. Are we going to be able to afford to move out of this house?
6. Is this neighborhood going to get worse by the time we can afford to move out?
7. Am I going to be able to breastfeed like our doctor thinks we need to because of J's allergies?
8. What are we going to do about daycare?
9. Can we really afford to raise this baby?
10. Are we ever going to get out of debt?
11. What will J and my relationship be like after the baby comes?
12. Will I be able to lose all the weight I need to after the baby is born?
13. Do I really want to raise my child here or should we move?
14. Am I going to be patient enough to be a good mom?
I know it's normal to have worries and fears before having a baby. I hope that most everything will be fine, but I just can't help worry.

The biggest fear about kids is money which I won't lie, they cost a ton but you'll find ways to get by. Second biggest fear is always parenting ability. It's a huge leap but once you meet him/her, it'll all fall into place and you'll be a great mom.
Almost there..........
