It's hard to balance keeping our kids safe and healthy without smothering them with worry.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474584473012742915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-47271850172754561452012-06-19T09:52:34.547-05:002012-06-19T09:52:34.547-05:00Since the day I found out I was pregnant, I have b...Since the day I found out I was pregnant, I have been terrified of losing Landon. That long wait until you have the first ultrasound/hear the heartbeat for the first time... pure agony! And I only had to wait 7 weeks b/c of being so sick with Hyperemesis. Then if he wasn't kicking enough during the day while I was at work, I would stress out. Now that he's almost 2, I still go in his room at least 2-3 times after I put him to bed, to check on him. If he's in a really deep sleep, and not moving, I'll pinch his nose until he moves so that I can reassure myself that he'll move if he has his face too deep in his pillow. I think it is a really common fear, and you are definitely not alone - and I haven't had any health scares with Landon... so, "no reason" to fear. My mom says it's because when we have kids, our hearts are now walking around outside of our bodies.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978290224534490259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-45175183730193460312012-06-15T23:15:18.909-05:002012-06-15T23:15:18.909-05:00Powerful words that I can relate to.

I had panic attacks for months after Levi was born and every time I heard my sweet boy roll over through the baby monitor, I would pop out of bed to make sure he was okay. I worry about so many of his "increased likelihoods"...all of which lead to the increased likelihood of outliving my child. *SIGH* I will be praying that your friend's son pulls through. How scary!April Vernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10165895845816043237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-88274687585813572682012-06-15T22:03:23.266-05:002012-06-15T22:03:23.266-05:00I think we all feel that way.
