Stress, Stress, Stress...

Well, we've known for 6 days now that I'm going to be having a baby, and the stress of everything is really setting in.  As happy as I am, I am also completely petrified.  You would think that once you were pregnant you would be overcome with joy (which we were), and be floating on cloud 9 for the next 9 months.  Wrong.  The instant I found out I had a million thoughts racing through my head;  What if I miscarry?  What if something goes wrong and there's birth defects?  Will I be a good mom?  Will I be able to do this?  What about work...will they be willing to work around my schedule?  So as exciting as this news is, it's been the most stressful situation I've had to deal with.  I told Spencer that the only time I'll be able to relax is when I deliver our baby, healthy and safe.

Speaking of Spencer, you all are probably wondering his perspective on all of this.  I'll let him write on here next, but for the record I just wanted to say that I am so lucky to have him.  He has been nothing but supportive and is doing everything he can to keep me calm and stress free.  I've been an emotional roller coaster and my energy level is never consistent, but he puts up with it all.  I love him very much and can't thank him enough for everything he does for me and the little one.
