I'm worried about this move. Selling our home and starting over again. It's starting to bother me. One minute im all go with the flow, the next im freaking the fuck out. I can't wait until this is over. I know it will be a long process and i'll look back and laugh at one day. But right now..im just ready to get it over with.
I worry that im not socializing Frankie enough. It seems everytime I try to plan a playdate something comes up from the other party and we never get to let him play with other kids. I worry that im not doing enough with him during the day. I used to be a preschool teacher too so I know all about what to do with him but still feel like it's not enough. Figure that one out. :-/
I'm worried about my job/hospital. Times are really tough and people are being let go and cut back like crazy. Yes, even nurses at the bedside are being effected. It's a scary time
I worry that I am not being a very good wife and mother lately - I feel like I've kinda been "checking out" emotionally and the slightest things send me into a tailspin. I don't know what my problem is.
I worry that we are never going to get out of debt. Just when I think we have everything figured out, and a good plan set, something else comes up and shatters the plan.
I worry about my dog. His other eye is getting a cataract and his going completely blind at an alarming rate. H wants to look into getting one, or both of them fixed, but he has a really bad heart murmur, he's at least 14 years old, and that's a lot of money that we need to put towards other things. I can't deal with a blind dog and a toddler...but H and I were both in tears at the thought of having to put him down.
I worry that J isnt walking and seems to have zero interest. He also isnt really "talking".
I worry that I failed terribly with G. I signed her up for a school 3 days a week but, she had to be potty trained. Welp, she has NO interest and I didnt push it. It was awful on her and I. So I called and pulled her out of the school. Her birthday was on the cut off date and they told me that she would be the youngest to enroll. Still I feel awful.
I worry about money and that I contribute ZERO. My husband wants me to stay home and is totally on board but, I still feel like a loser. He is paying MY student loans off along with EVERYTHING else. smh.

I'm worried about school starting. I'm worried less about school itself (though the preview of the Excel assignment scared me to death) then I am about juggling family & school, namely that we want another baby. BABY BABY BABY, I HAVE THE RABIES.
I'm worried about where we'll live once DH graduates. There's no knowing at this point. I really hope we can go somewhere nice and go to our permanent home without an intermediate stop!

@lnd1031, I've been feeling similar lately, too. It's almost like I feel spread too thin trying to balance everything and somewhere in the process, I feel like I've lost a little piece of myself. I hope I can snap out of my funk but quick!
I sorry about your dog
Thank you.
I've been wondering if it's some sort of severely delayed pp-depression or something, but I've dealt with depression before, and it doesn't seem entirely the same. But what you just said about feeling like you've lost a little piece of yourself definitely resonated.
I'm worried about bonding with this baby. I didn't think I'd ever worry about if I could bond/love a new baby, but the further we get, the more I'm freaking out. I worry about Em feeling shuffled off to the side and not getting enough attention, I worry about the fact that I'm so far into this pregnancy and I STILL haven't wrapped my head around bringing another baby home, and I worry about juggling the two. I think about @Pegleg and I try to calm myself down. She does it and does it well...I can always ship one off to her. Really, I hope I can pick all the STMs brains about how the heck to do this.
I'm also worried about my cousin. I'm glad we've sort of repaired our relationship, because things have not been going well for her. She just got diagnosed with kidney stones and her husband told her that if she takes the pain killers the OB prescribed that she will be killing the baby. Her MIL is feeding into it because she's a nurse. My cousin has been through a lot for this pregnancy, and she's completely lost the joy of being pregnant because everyone around her is being super negative about anything she wants to do. She's driving me crazy using me as her personal google, but I feel like she needs SOMEONE to listen to her.
I think we all worry, but it sure feels good to get it out and know that we are not alone!
I worry about leaving LO to go out with my H. It has put quite a damper on our relationship, but I just don't feel comfortable leaving her and all of our family are not close enough to help.
It is H's birthday this Thursday and I worry that we won't be able to go out like we want to b/c of worry #1.
My biggest worry is that my relationship with my H will never be the same and I constantly try to make time for us, but for some reason it never happens and I feel like I am failing as a wife.
Where to start, I worry about life with 3 children under 2. I worry that Olivia will feel neglected. I worry about our finances and whether or not my company will let me go once they find out I'm expecting twins.
Hugs to everyone!

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."
I worry about the fact that my self worth is obviously tied to money.
I worry about my husband, he is so, so miserable in his job.
I'm worried about Utah (we haven't heard yet and he is now being considered for 2 jobs.)
I worry that my dogs think I don't love them anymore. I worry that they don't understand that Eleanor needs more of me right now... That they are much more self sufficient than she is, that they are less likely to kill themselves if I'm not watching them than she is.
The babies are already in PT and may need some other therapy. They do not point or follow instructions. One does not babble and does not respond to get name.
We have a neurologist appointment this afternoon for the one that does not babble.
I just feel like something is off and I don't know what. Also the fact thast they are twins makes me feel that they are missing something.
I worry we won't know which school to sent my oldest and once we do decided that she may not get in.I know thast sounds weird, but there is a longer SD Tory behind that.
Also I have so many things wrong with me I ask scared to go to the Dr in case it is something really bad.
@kellybellybean - girl, you have such a deep worries. Reading this made me worry about you. Sending you virtual hugs, T&P!
@bellaxanthe - I worry about our relationship with H a lot too - we have been together for so long that it is just not interesting anymore for neither of us...
@JAck - hang on there - 3 under two is scary but also should be very rewarding!
I worry about my dad, that we can't get there quick enough to take care of him. I worry that people are going to continue to take advantage of his sweet nature.
I worry that my husbands ptsd will never get better, or his injuries. I worry that he will need a 9th surgery and more recovery and I dont think him or us could handle that.
Wow. It actually did feel really good to read through this thread and know that we all worry, we all worry about very similar things, so clearly we can't be TOO far off normal, ya know?
@kitchencolors - Is there a special needs group you can connect with in your area? Perhaps make some friends who will develop along with her and provide you and your H with a support circle too? My brother and his ex-wife never did connect with any other families dealing with DS or other disabilities, and while they manage, I think they would have really benefitted from having a broader circle than just our family for support.
@bellxanthe, @ashleynake, @ikamenko - Yup. I worry about the relationship with TheBoy too. Also seem to be in the very amiable roommates role at the moment. Most of the time I think we're still just adjusting and will be fine, but how long can I claim that?
Re: Lay your worries here..
Oh man...
I worry that E doesn't talk yet.
I worry that E doesn't eat/drink much lately.
I worry that I can't finish the BCP AND the UIA which are both obviously priority #1 by the deadlines which are both this month.
I worry that I can't manage my job in general.
I worry that with the house prices going up so much north of town that we're not going to be able to find a good house when our time to move comes.
I worry that I don't have enough (any?) BFF-like intimate friendships.
I worry....
I worry that im not doing enough with him during the day. I used to be a preschool teacher too so I know all about what to do with him but still feel like it's not enough. Figure that one out.

What just happened in my diaper?!

I am worried about LOs appointment with the hematologist on Friday
I am worried that H and I are drifting apart because of all the health/work stress
ETA: I am worried that I won't find another job or that I will find one that I hate
I worry all.the.time.
I worry that J isnt walking and seems to have zero interest. He also isnt really "talking".

Lets see... I'm worried about my dad, whose cancer has returned after being in remission for the last 5 years.
I'm worried about finding someone to keep Graham when my mom has surgery in a few weeks.
I'm worried about Graham's development, and our EI appt tomorrow.
Those are the big three right now. My nerves are just all kinds of torn up lately.
I'm also worried about my cousin. I'm glad we've sort of repaired our relationship, because things have not been going well for her.

I am worried that we will NEVER sell this house and it will keep me prisoner for the remainder of my life.
