Anxiety

There was a storm that passed through our area last night and in turn, our screened-in porch door slammed on and off all night.  Finally, around 3am, my German Shepherd thought someone was trying to break in and did what she is supposed to do....scare everyone in a 2 mile radius with her barking.

I climbed out of bed and latched the door so that we could all go back to sleep.

But I couldn't.

I started thinking about the new baby and for the first time since I found I am pregnant, I started to worry.

Is this really the right time?

What will our families think?

Can I handle two children with my husband's crazy work schedule?

How will I go out in public with a newborn and an almost 3 year old? I can barely handle my toddler as it is.

Then, my worries subsided.  I will carry a certain amount of fear with me throughout this process because I am a natural-born worrier.  But, I am going to try my hardest to enjoy this pregnancy because it is most likely my last.

I'm trying not to let the worry over-shadow the joy of our second baby.

On a completely different note, we already have names picked out and I want to share them SO badly, but I also want to keep it a surprise if I can. It's going to be so hard, but I'm going to try.

I'm feeling great today, just a little bit of upset stomach and I feel like my boobs are growing by the day! (I welcome it though :)

I may post again later today.  Happy Tuesday!

"Do not worry about anything, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses ALL understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus".
Philippians 4:6-7
