So...I know that I'm not supposed to be worrying so much because it's not necessarily good for me or for Baby Ryan. I have been tying to figure out ways to "chill out" during this pregnancy. You've all read my posts I'm sure about the worries I have about motherhood, parenting, budgeting, and all of that. My last post about these things was extremely heart felt for me and more opinionated than I usually am on this blog. I was surprised about what worries came out when I sat down to write that blog post.
Even though that was just a week or so ago, things have changed since then... and like I said, I'm trying to chill out and not let it all bother me or worry me right now. I've tried to cut back on the expectations I've had on myself about being a Mom. I'm putting a lot off for the next two weeks until I don't have to worry about a job and my job of wife and Mom at home. I'm also trying to stay off the parenting/pregnancy blogs. Reading too much seems to make me think more about things that could go wrong during the last 3 months of my pregnancy.
I'm also trying to do better about resting. I take more break times at work, or go nap in the car on my lunch break just to have a few minutes to myself. I also try to exercise (just walking) too and it helps me relax and makes me feel a little more healthy.
I also want to say a quick thank you to everyone who's reached out to me, trying to help me deal with my worries and budget issues that I have voiced in the past. You are all such wonderful people and I am glad to have friends that care so much! Love you all! (:
It seems like all the worrying really hits you in the end! But, speaking from experience, you just have to let it go and know that you will be the best Mom for Ryan! All the worrying will not end when they are here. They are yours and you will always worry. I still worry everyday over something or the other, but I just have to remember he is going to be fine! I am glad you are finding ways to deal with it all! And yes, do not read into everything. I only read one thing that that was just on development. Some of those sites will worry you to death! Anyways, just remember, everything is going to be great! :)
