Worry, Shmorry

Things I'm worried about at the moment:
  • I've never had a nice-looking tummy. What the hell will it look like a year from now?
  • What happens if I have a miscarriage while I'm in Michigan?
  • Will I really learn to relax and survive when my house is in shambles and the laundry isn't done and I haven't showered in three days?
  • Will I really be too tired/busy/preoccupied to shower for three days?
  • Will I really loose my mental faculties to a certain degree and will that make me worse at my job?
  • Will my coworkers get so good at my job while I'm gone that I won't have a job to come back to?
  • Will the baby be okay?
  • Will our house be too small?
  • Will our house be too hot?
  • Will we have enough money to take one last vacation before we become three?

I think Nate needs to record his charming and ever-so-off-key rendition of Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" to a little tape recorder and have it surgically implanted near my ear so I am reminded at all times that there is little use in worry and more value in hope.

Still! :)

p.s. No comments from the peanut gallery, unless they are placating and generally benign. :)

1. Something akin to hell in the beginning, then it looks more like the mohave desert

2. I have a very good doctor for a father in law

3. no, sorry

4. probably, sorry

5. no, that's a myth

6. no, they will miss the heck out of you - besides, there's FMLA and you could sue and get rich!

7. yes

8. not at first - babies don't take up a lot of room until they are 2 or 3, and then it's their toys, not even them.

9. a.c. (for you, not even for the baby)

10. of course! as long as you're not thinking paris or something.

:-) I love you! :-)
