I'm sure that every week it will get better.

I finally realized that it's a difference of me being worried about the baby, and my mom being worried about me.

Of course none of us blame them, but yes, it will wear on you! And you've still got 14 weeks left. :) I think it's great that you talked to your mom, hopefully that will make a bit of a difference.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964875388384777306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-60342997455310671822010-01-21T19:47:49.064-08:002010-01-21T19:47:49.064-08:00i answered your questions on my comments!i answered your questions on my comments!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-45182159541403800242010-01-21T18:57:45.338-08:002010-01-21T18:57:45.338-08:00A great point.

Definitely a drag and makes it harder to keep your mind in positive places.Natural for them to worry, and wonderful that you have someone who cares so much about you, but still annoying I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-45383277399789565672010-01-21T16:26:07.964-08:002010-01-21T16:26:07.964-08:00awwww, they're just worried about you but i ca...awwww, they're just worried about you but i can see how that might get annoying! when i was in the hospital i kept telling my mom that the baby was fine whenever i spoke to her on the phone and when i finally got to go home she told me that while she was really glad the baby was ok i needed to remember that I was HER baby and she wanted ME to be ok too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-14730186191735981622010-01-21T14:57:29.935-08:002010-01-21T14:57:29.935-08:00It has taken months for DH to finally start to rel...It has taken months for DH to finally start to relax more, and even now, he still gets a weird look in my eye if I put my hand on my belly, or palpate for a contraction. I keep trying to tell him that I'll let him know if I think something's off, but he doesn't seem to really believe that. Hopefully it will get better over the next couple months!<br />Thankfully my Mum isn't as nuts. At least she can see when I'm online on Skype, even if we don't chat. Hope yours starts to chill a little more too!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805727250430361509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-47113041906064219412010-01-21T14:27:21.327-08:002010-01-21T14:27:21.327-08:00You're right Michele, and that's why I'...You're right Michele, and that's why I'm not getting mad at her but I guess its upsetting me because I am working pretty actively on not being afraid because it was getting destructive to my peace of mind.... so its difficult when others around me are freaking out, but you're right, it comes from a place of love and I am grateful she cares.Khttp://www.waitingforsunflower.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-40782048144698036602010-01-21T13:31:04.973-08:002010-01-21T13:31:04.973-08:00They worry...

It started with this pregnancy and then once the twins were born, she was worried about them, and now that they are home, she worries... You get the picture. It's all from a place of love, even if it does get annoying after a while.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.com
