I know that there will be so many more things to worry about as this child grows, both inside me and out in the real world. Howefver, I do feel truly blessed to be going through this experience and to be having a child.

Being pregnant messes with your (my) head
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a bit of a worrier. I come by it honestly as I come from a family of worriers. Ironically, I'm married to a man who is the anti-worrier - he barely ever gets worked up about anything. Anyways, becoming pregnant has produced a constant stream of worries. At first, I was quite worried about having a miscarriage. Then, once I got to the three months mark, I was much less worried about that. Now I worry about gaining too much weight and/or not gaining enough weight. Sometimes I think that my baby belly should be bigger and other times I think that it's doing just fine. I go in for monthly doctor's appointments and in between appointments, I start to worry that the baby isn't doing ok. Normal cramping starts to freak me out and I worry that my body is doing something that it shouldn't. However, every time I see the doctor, I get to hear the heartbeat and I feel confident again that everything is as it should be. Hearing the heartbeat makes me happy!
