Re: QOTD #2
Right now my biggest fear is going into labor before I switch from one blood thinner to the other and bleeding to death during labor. Honest enough?! lol.
I worry about losing DH, my Mom, Sister or any other family member at this point. Last summer did a number on my and my fear of death also.
Thanks.
to you too.
This EXACTLY!!
Oh boy...there's so much going on right now that I'm not sure. And when I write them down they seem kinda petty compared to others posted.
But right now it's probably how we'll handle the first couple of months with a newborn and where we'll be living at that time. In addition to the stress of a new baby, will we be unpacked? Will I know where things are? Yikes!
Thanks I needed, that now that you have scared the $hit outta me!
Hahaha J/K!
Fire it up, Let's go get this thing stuck
I was just thinking about you! I think you are very brave, a lot of people don't make the necessary changes in life because they are too scared.
::hugs::
Hang in there! I felt the exact same way you do right now and I can tell you, 1 year later I have never been happier, healthier and confident in my life! It gets better every day, stay strong!
I feel you on this. My mom died when I was 10, my grandma when I was 12, and my grandpa when I was 19. I just lost one of my aunt's this year and I have no blood family left really. I feel like i've lost everybody and it makes me cherish my own family even more.
Oh man sorry! I think it's these stupid NST that I've been doing.
The first time she asked me if I felt any contractions and I just said no but then thought about it for days after. Yesterday she asked me the same thing. They have this little print out of the heart beat and something else so I asked why she asked that and if she saw anything? She said she just saw some "irritability" but if I didn't feel anything then it's not an issue. But of course now I'm thinking about it 24/7.
Don't make me have nightmares.
OMG Lori I swear I was kidding! You didn't freak me out any more than I normally am. Just wanted to make you laugh. Sorry.
I negotiated 3 walks a week out of dh and yesterday and then I had a braxton hicks the entire flipping way, it pi$$ed me off so much that I almost told him to forget the walks even though I really need the exercise.
I am also scared that I will go to jail after I kidnap Ollie from Cutter and keep him for my very own.
I'm afraid that once I'm ready for children, I'll be too old...I won't have enough time left to spend with them or that I'll be too old to enjoy it or won't get to see my grandchildren.
I noticed the other day that my parents are getting old, and that really scares me. I couldn't see who the person walking towards my office was and though, "Who's this little old lady?" It was my mom. Scared the crap out of me!

When I was little, I would always make sure to say "good night" to my parents. Not "goodbye" or anything else. It had to be "good night" because if I said "goodbye," that meant I wouldn't see them again.

I'd have one happy cat if you stole him...she'd actually drag all of his favorite blankets and toys to the door for you lol
our neighbor girls asked if they could "borrow" him overnight because they miss him when he is inside our house. one of them admitted they wouldn't give him back haha
This is like mine too. I don't want to lose H and have to raise children on my own, I don't know how my mom did it. So many people dropped out of our life too after my dad died, it was sad. Soemtimes his family gives me guilt trips about certain things, and I am like HELLO....I was the CHILD when it happened you were the ADULT, if you didn't act like the adult then don't expect me to act like the adult now. during the wedding inviting people, my gma wanted me to invite all of this family that I never saw anymore..no thank you!
I suspect you and I could have a nice loooong conversation about this. I was pretty young so didn't realize it right away. A few years ago I was at a Christmas party that was thrown by one of the very few people that made sure to stay in our lives and I was getting a really weird vibe from several people there.then no less than 4 women cornered me by the end of the night crying and telling me how sorry they were for not being a part of our lives. I had no clue who these people were and it creeped the $hit outta me. My 'aunt' who had thrown the party later told us that it really freaked out a lot of people that I looked and acted so much like my mother that they were overcome with guilt.
That was longer than I meant it to be.
My Happy House
I think we could. People are so crazy. I can only imagine how much it hurt my mom to see people leave our lives, but in the end it's their loss..We need to talk about this sometime.
I could never imagine what that must have been like for your mom, & I agree.
