S/O irrational fears
So Nathan still doesn't say "mama" but he says other random words like "tickle". Anyways, today I'm pretty sure he called me by my first name. I was like really?! I guess though I've always been afraid of that bc of being a nanny. The kids always say my real name obviously. I think he's never going to call me momma :-(
Irrational - I know.
Anyone else?
Re: S/O irrational fears
Awe he'll call you mama, don't worry!
My all time irrational fear which I'm sure I've mentioned before is worms. This has been an issue since we bought our house and I need to weed the front and side gardens as soon as I see a worm I have a really hard time putting my big girl panties on and continuing with weeding. I use gardening gloves and a little shovel, but they're just SO disgusting!!! *shudders*
Also, Alex has been a major Daddy's boy this week, he now thinks it's funny to call me Dada (he says, mama, mom and mommy) but this week he points at me and says "Dada!" and then laughs and when given the choice between Joel and I he consistently chooses Joel. I'm worried that this is because I'm pregnant and he senses that something is different about me. I want the next several months to be full of Alex snuggles because after baby 2 comes I know things will be different and I'll be juggling more. I want to make the most of the months Alex has left of being an only child.
I'm afraid to look in my rearview mirror when it's dark out, expecting to see a psycho wielding a giant knife.
I blame TV and movies for that fear.
dont worry Charlotte called me Kelly before she said mama- now she doesnt stop. I have a fear that I will be taking care of Charlotte alone. I dont know why I fear that, but its always been a fear. Since my mom died when I was young I always worry I will be doing it alone.
I also have a fear of not having any money- I currently have plenty of money but savings isnt my forte... something I can change hopefully but still.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Samma is 19 months old, and I check on her every night to make sure she's still breathing. Clearly she's well beyond the age where I need to worry about SIDS, but it's always in the back of my mind, that one night I don't look in on her before I go to bed...
And I have a fear that I am always going to lose my phone and/or my debit card and/or my keys. I am constantly checking my purse and wallet when I'm out...

I too have a fear that N will die at a young age and that I will have to raise our children alone. Hence all my "nagging" him to eat better, exercise, etc. Actually, here is a case for couples therapy, we recently went (we go every few months) and the counselor was able to get him to see that I'm not trying to be a nag, but rather that I'm scared sh*tless that he will die and leave us. So now at least he understands why I'm being so neurotic.
Lately, I'm having jaw issues and have started to fear that my jaw will never go back to normal and/or that it will get stuck in an open position or something. Hence, my phone call to the dentist this AM and my upcoming appt this afternoon.
My mom has an irrational fear of choking, to the point that she still says to us sometimes when we get off the phone "don't choke!". It's kind of a family joke, but now I've become more afraid of choking. It's the whole idea of being somewhere alone and choking and not having any way to get help. I swallowed water down the wrong pipe the other day at work when no one was around and my first thought was "my mom is going to kill me" and my second thought was "I'm gonna die".
I do this too! I had a terrible dream the other morning that I woke up and Alex had smothered himself in the mattress and I had to force myself out of bed when I woke up to go look to make sure he was okay because I was so terrified that the dream might be real and I didn't want to look. He was obviously totally fine. Now that I've been getting up a lot at night I check on him every time. I don't know what I'm going to do when we move him into his own room in a couple months
I don't wanna!
Those are some of the biggest and craziest escalators I've ever seen. There was one (i forget which station), that I literally about peed my pants. I swear it was like 4 stories tall.
We do this too. Every night. I need to be sure he's not cold or something too before I go to bed. I always think he's gonna freeze to death lol
:Blog:
I fear that Weston is going to be an only child. Even if I obviously am able to carry a baby to term, I fear that all pregnancies are going to end in a miscarriage (not feeling irrational at this point)
I fear that you all will start disliking me/not want me to come around because I haven't been around much and when I do come on, I have a hard time making/commenting on positive posts.
I for one, and I doubt I'm alone in this, love it when you post. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through and I feel bad that I can't really offer anything to the Niners who are TTCAL. You need somewhere to vent out frustrations and sadness.
*nodnod* Kelly, you were going to be one of the ones I said I was missing, too!

This will never happen. We loved you before you started TTC, we loved you when you had W and we will love you no matter what you go through. I'm glad to see you today though!
Stand up for something you believe in.
ditto Mary- I miss you when you are not here!
