anxious again...
hi, thanks for all the nice comments about soon to be baby photos/sonogram.
it's fun to imagine that face/head is inside me right now and quite surreal.
meanwhile i'm feeling quite anxious. just the usual things. hard to sleep at night and that's when i focus too much on not feeling prepared, feeling disorganized, worrying how elvis will adjust. worrying that we won't have all the stuff we need to have when she arrives, worrying that i'll have an episode and have to take meds and stop breastfeeding etc.
it's now the countdown to going to the hospital which is also anxiety provoking...
and i keep wanting to make a comic for the blog and not doing it...

hey girl...don't worry about not having things for the baby. all you need is some diapers, a few sleepers, and have some powder formula and bottled water on hand in case stress or something prevents a feeding and a baby bottle (it is a life saver to have in the cupboard...trust me), and somewhere to stick her to sleep, I had to use a large dresser drawer at first!!! Lined with a blanket. and don't forget a good carseat (please don't get the one that 'grows' with the baby, the new baby will be lost in it and you can't haul it in and out easily) get one that is like a basket and it has grabby things on the bottom to put onto shopping carts. You are in my thoughts and I hope my good vibes make it to you. BTW those are just my opinion's up above...take them with a grain of salt.
If ya need someone to talk to I am usually lurking around somewhere. I check my email quite often. Say 'hi' to Elvis for me :)
As everyone says, no one is ever totally ready for a baby. I think you have done an outstanding job preparing yourself and if you have to go back on the meds then you will deal with it when that time comes. You will be a great mom, I just know it!!!
I remember feeling the same way. My inner control freak was on overdrive. I wish now I could have saved some of that perfectly good worrying. It worked out. Maybe not exactly the way we expect it, but yeah, it always works out.

hey!!! where are you? are you o.k.? just passin by and thought I would check on ya? hope all is well? *scratch for Elvis*
hi,
thanks for all the supportive comments. i'm ok. just tired a lot. then when i get some energy i have this motivation to do all kinds of stuff but when i get home from fantasizing about it, i do about 2% of the things i had planned. then take a bath and stare at the moving belly.
she is in a weird place and the movements are like sci fi. it's bizarre but fun in the bathtub. then when she moves while i'm walking or sitting it sometimes is not so comfortable, even painful.
but i'm hanging in there. today was really hot and humid and i had my afternoon slump of feeling like i needed to spend the day in bed but managed to get out of it. walked a lot...
