I find it incredibly hard to write when I’m just feeling blah. I’ve had anxiety about nearly everything lately. Panic attacks are hitting at night when I’m attempting to forget about it all and sleep. Not working. This is about the worst time since I have nothing better to do than lay in bed and worry and think and the panic attack completely takes over. For anyone who’s experienced this feeling you know exactly what I’m talking about. For those who haven’t, you feel almost helpless, like you’ve lost control of your mind and body.
Naming a baby has got to be one of the hardest things to do, unless it’s all up to you. With my son I knew his name the minute I knew I was pregnant. A name will just stick and I know it’s the right name. This is what’s happened right now….. so here I am with this name stuck in my head and I love it. Problem is……. it’s not only up to me this time. So this has turned into a nightmare. Anybody have any opinions or suggestions? This is tearing me apart worrying about my baby’s name. Ever since I had my son I’ve wanted to continue the “J” name thing – apparently this is a problem too
You can still find the 3 “J” names I had picked out written in my phone book from years ago. Is it weird that this means SO much to me?
As for gaining weight during pregnancy. I’m one of those people who’ll say and think “Oh yeah, I’ll gain however much weight for my baby if it means he/she will be healthy.” But it’s truly tearing me apart right now. I don’t care how much we say that, the weight gain will still cause some depressed feelings. It doesn’t help that lots of clothes aren’t fitting me right now and that gets frustrating. July needs to come fast.
