Mother Manatees Speak UP.

Kelly - THANK YOU!!!

Suwannee & Jane - That is the way I feel too...this is a complete rollercoaster of emotion. I worry if I'll be good enough for him, if I can do a decent job, or heaven forbid - what if I hate being a mom??? The pendulum keeps swinging back and forth between excitement and profound fear.

Nellie, I am so glad to hear that the Zantac is working for you. Tums are worthless, as is Mylanta. I caught heck from Kevin for drinking it like water. There are enough aches and pains without adding heartburn to the mix!!!

I lost my ankles recently, has anyone seen them??

Nope....but maybe our ankles are off consorting together. Or maybe mine just drifted up to my now very thick fingers.

Time for this baby to come OUT!

I agree with Kelly that the worries you have about parenting are normal and not worrying would be abnormal. I have a whole new set of worries the second time around eventhough I was much more comfortable with my role as a mother. I have tried to trust my instincts and ask lots of other moms to make sure I am not nuts. I think I am probably nuts anyway.

Good luck to all of you with pending labor and delivery!
