What baby related issue stresses you out?

Tamara Stumph

For me it's strollers and car seats.

My work schedule. If I am working 3 12's on nights, and my parents are with the LO during the day... if I work a couple days in a row, as opposed to them being split up, I might not see my LO for 3 days!

That is actually stressing me out at the moment too. ?I am stuck between two different infant seats and 2 different strollers. ?It is hard to know which one I will like best once the baby is actually here. ?Oh well!

This - because my Mom is currently watching my nephew, and is CHARGING my sister as much as a DC!  WTF?!

Worrying over how my DD is going to cope with sharing me in the beginning... I'm sure it will be fine, but I still worry.

She is over the moon about becoming a big sister though!

The crazy zombie woman I will become when I am only able to sleep 2 - 3 hours at a time during the newborn phase.

That I have nothing ready, since we are looking for a place to move and the place where we live is soo small that we don't have a place to put the baby stuff. So we are using my mom as a storage place. UGH

Just taking care of him/her by myself when Dh goes back to work after the baby is born. I've never really been around babies or ever baby sat, so I's sooo nervous. Meanwhile, Dh knows exactly what to do. he helped raise his 3 sisters from the age of 15. They are only 13,16,&18 now.

 This exactly while trying to sell our little condo.  It's so hard not knowing where you'll be living when LO arrives.  And if we have to stay in our tiny condo with our two big dogs and a baby...oh boy!

Going back to work after the baby is born and daycare...and finding $$$ for daycare.

Daycare costs!  As a single mother who has to work and lives about an hour away from family and friends, I'm worried most about daycare costs and accommodations.  I've researched Au Pairs, and though a tad bit less expensive and more mom friendly, the cost is still more than I can afford while still trying to eat and pay rent!  I'm sure I'm not thinking of something... but right now I'm STRESSED OUT!  My babygirl is due 12/3/09.

when my MIL finds out that I'm going to be a SAHM.  she is going to flip her lid on us.  she always worked outside the home and sent all her kids to daycare.  on the other hand, i was raised by a SAHM and being home with my kids is something I have always dreamed of.  I've already practiced the speech I am going to give her when she finds out and starts ranting about how it will be big mistake.  oh boy, i can't freakin' wait!
