And I think as a parent, the worries can never go away, they just change and you will adjust.laurengouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035601190075589411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979532096718821945.post-31948976083505809762011-01-31T16:31:48.431-05:002011-01-31T16:31:48.431-05:00I know how you feel.....I have a 2 1/2 yr old daug...I know how you feel.....I have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter and a 2week old son, and I can't ever picture them outside the age they are now.....I guess with my 3 miscarriages, I sometimes find it hard to look outside the box, and now after getting my tubes tied at the hospital, I fear it even more that something will go wrong, and know I will not be able to have a child of my own again. God has been so great to me over the years, and I have put my faith in him, to know what is best, and why the things in my life have played out as they did. I'm a light sleeper and have tuned into all of my kids sleeping patterns, and begin to worry myself when they sleep to long....I just pray that things will go alright for my family. You would not be a good mom if you did not worry, even a little....:DJeanna Blumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298086060804989912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979532096718821945.post-52636729925110723362011-01-31T14:10:47.859-05:002011-01-31T14:10:47.859-05:00Totally normal.

You never get over the anxiety sorry to say.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285525086889595753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979532096718821945.post-28667447550795375532011-01-31T12:19:12.129-05:002011-01-31T12:19:12.129-05:00Eirik is 10 months old... i STLL check on him... w...Eirik is 10 months old... i STLL check on him... when he goes down, before i go to bed, if he has slept for 3 hours straight... whenever we made a major change it was worse. the first few weeks he was in his crib i was probably up eveyr hour... now we tend to put a blanket over him becuase its cold. I know hes got good head movement and isn't going to suffocate, but i still freak out. When he started sleeping on his stomach i spent a few weeks trying to roll him over. I think its natural mommy anxiety! Just know you're not alone!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328362446253685284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979532096718821945.post-26264170244974647762011-01-31T11:14:12.020-05:002011-01-31T11:14:12.020-05:00I could have written this.

My son Ryan turned six years old last week, and I still worry something is going to happen to him (the snow banks at the end of our driveway are huge and we are in a blind curve, and I am scared when we pull out, someone will hit us right where Ryan sits...that's my current freak-out). The anxiety never goes away, but you learn to control it and co-exist with it.Karenhttp://www.khallion.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.com
