It seems like these days I have more time to think, (while feeding Olivia of course.) The more time I have to think, the more things I start to worry about. For example, I worry that Michigan is never going to be warm again, it's way too cold. I worry that Olivia's never going to learn to stay awake during her feedings, I've tried everything. I worry that I'm not paying enough attention to my boys. I worry about February, why does Brandon have to do a month of general surgery? I worry that by the time I can start reading books without pictures again, and not fall asleep, my list of books to read will be overwhelming. I worry that my house will never be clean again until the year 2027, longer than that if we have more kids. I worry that I like Transformers Animated almost as much as my boys, thank heavens for DVR. I worry that I'll never sleep through the night again. I worry about getting pooped on. I worry that as I start to feel like the pre-pregnant me that I was not very nice or friendly since moving to Michigan, really I have no idea how I have friends. I worry about sending Logan to kindergarten next year, the thought makes my stomach turn, although since having Olivia the idea isn't as bad as it was. I worry that all this worrying is going to give me anxiety. I worry about those in my family. And lastly I worry about how I'm going to end this, so I'll just stop here!

It's hard to not play the worry game. I worry about everything too, and then I start to get depressed. The best thing to do is put faith in the Lord. Good luck.
Sounds like a mom with a new baby and other kids running around! It will all work out in the end and I don't think the worrying ever stops because then they are teenagers, and then they are going to college and getting married and having your grandkids which you can then worry about:) Just enjoy the ride!
Oh Kim I love you!! I understand all your worries!!! Dont worry about the transformer things! I like Little Einsteins and Mickey mouse club house and word world probably more than my kids do!! Sad! Just remember this too shall pass...I should listen to my own advice!! I do need to call you!!!
I too am a huge worrier, I can also relate to "I worry that as I start to feel like the pre-pregnant me that I was not very nice or friendly since moving to Michigan" I was 20 weeks pregnant when I moved here and didn't realize until after I had Benjamin how cranky I was to everyone.
This too shall pass.
PS the name of the dentist we went to was Dr. Michelle Tiberia she's a pediatric dentist in West Bloomfield. She was nice and so were the hygienists.
Sounds like you need to get more sleep. You'll feel a lot better in a month or two. Things work out how they should when you are doing what's right and trusting the Lord. I hope that doesn't sound to corny. Anyways, hang in there.
Kim, sit back and take a chill pill. Look around and see all of the stuff you have done. You have 3 amazing kids and a great hubby. You do so much and you don't give yourself much credit. I am so impressed by what you do as a wife, mother, and friend. Keep it up; you are amazing.
PS: when Kade would fall asleep during feedings, I wet a wash cloth with COLD water and put it on his neck for a sec. Yes, a little rude, but it worked. On second thought, maybe I shouldn't admit that.
Kim. . . you are totally normal. I worry about so many things too. I think that the worrying just comes with the territory of being a Mom. I guess we should all start being more worried when the worrying ends. (Does that even make sense?) Good Mom's Worry A LOT!!!
