Was there anything you really worried about before the baby came that now the baby is here you are like, ooooh no sweat why did I worry?

Walking up and down the stairs while holding him. I was so scared to do that before I had him. Now it's not so scary.

I also thought I would be a germaphobe, but I'm not.

I was really afraid that I wasn't going to love him, and that I wasn't going to like being Mommy. That probably sounds horrible, but I just really didn't know what to expect and how it was going to feel. I honestly don't think I knew what LOVE was until I had him. Its a whole different ball game. Sure, I loved my husband and I loved my cats.. but I LOVE my baby and my husband now a lot differently than I use to.

I was petrified about being able to breastfeed. I was apprehensive about the labor but I knew that no matter what happened a baby was guaranteed to come out of me. I wasn't guaranteed breastfeeding. 

I also was really worried that I'd be jealous of other people holding DS. I had had him all to myself for 9 months, and then he'd be out and I was afraid that I wouldn't get to hold him enough. But once he got here, I'm happy to see other people holding him. It's nice to see.

I thought I was going to be super sensitive about germs and lysol everything and make everyone purell every 5 minutes when they are visiting. It's crazy, I'm totally laid back about germs. Good for the immune system, I guess.

I was super worried about people coming over a lot once we got home...but everyone was really aware of how often they called to come over and how longed they stayed.  It was really nice.

Also, I was worried about snapping at my MIL and SILs because they baby talk.  And not just a little.  They do it to their dog all.the.time.  So I knew they'd do it to A as well.  And oh boy, do they ever baby talk!  Yikes.  It's ridiculous.  And annoying.  But apparently, I'm not the only one annoyed by this because one morning when we were up at the lake, MIL had A and was just talking and talking and talking to her in baby talk and my husband walked past her and just said "Mom, I love you, but SHUT UP."  It was hilarious and AWESOME.  I love my husband : )

My concerns are all around once he's mobile, so they're still floating around.

Physically, I bounced back from delivery much faster than I was expecting and my recovery was pretty easy.  Everything else has been as hard, or harder, than I was expecting.
