Please tell me you all worry worry worry about your babies towards the end. I just had hubby pray over me concerning my overwhelming fears about this baby. My reasoning's weren't working. I need help! And prayer! And reassurance.

I'm worrying a lot, too, though I'm still "early" in the pregnancy. I'm at 20 weeks, and I tried the trick of eating something sweet then lying still for an hour, still nothing, no movement. I maybe feel something once or twice a week, but it's very faint. Much different then with Nathan.
I'll be glad for Friday when I have my appointment and I can hear the heartbeat.

Oh Ladies thank you! While it's not something we are to do, I guess it's normal. I notice the worry isn't as bad when I've had more sleep. My fear is that the baby will die. Why is it that everyone I know has been telling me stories of that happening to someone they know? I don't need to hear that right now. You see, with Nadia I was pretty ambivalent with her, I didn't feel a connection, didn't feel love and while I didn't want her to die, I just didn't really care. That sounds so bad, and I dealt with a lot of guilt as a result. But, this one, I have already fallen in love with. I mean, for real! And it's an answer to prayer. Do you know how hard it is to care for someone that you don't feel love for? It's really hard. But God answered that prayer and I love this little guy. I'm so afraid since I've fallen in love with him, he'll be taken away from me. I know God's not like that. He doesn't do things out of spite.
I had hubby pray for me and it is better. I will make it a point to get to bed earlier, I think it helps with emotions.
As a side point, a great contraction starter is sex and then walking. I've had so many BH contractions this morning, it's not funny. They don't hurt, but still. While I was walking they were like every 8 minutes. He's gotta stay in there for another week!

Question for moms with more than one child:
How do you arrange the car seats in your car once you have your second baby? We have a four door sedan, and right now, dd is in the middle. So, do I put her on one side and the baby on the other? Or do I put her on one side and the baby in the middle? Which side should which child go on? I'm probably over-thinking the whole thing....
Kathryn - I'm sorry about the worried thoughts that keep popping up  I get them occasionally too, but not as bad as with my first pregnancy. I think Hannah is keeping me too distracted to think about it. And once she's asleep, I'm too tired to think about anything, lol!
I've got 6 1/2 more weeks.... My birth kit is on the way, I have all the newborn stuff in the dryer now, and I have a list of things I still need to do or get. Not too much left - just things I want cleaned or things I still need to buy, like plastic sheeting to cover all the carpet. Oh, and I need to wash all the newborn diapers so they're fresh and ready to be used

Scarlett - I understand completely. I had a subway sub (they use the meat that was tainted) 2 weeks ago and now I can't stop worrying. Health Canada put out a warning that pregnant women should not eat produced meat of any kind. Sigh... How are we supposed to know anything, the bacteria can lay dormant for up to 90 days...
I'm so glad that worrying about my baby is normal. After my scare with the heartbeat I keep wondering if that little heart is still beating. I can't wait for my next appointment and ultrasound. Knowing everything is ok is such a blessing and so reassuring.
So...want to know how crazy we are? With school starting on Tuesday (I'm teaching grade 2/3 fulltime) and being pregnant we thought we would add to the stress and bought our first house this week. Move in day is October 24. I'm very excited, but also worried. I know I'm going to be completely exhausted by the end of each school day. I have no idea how I'm going to get all my marking and paper work done and pack a house at the same time. My mom is coming in the middle of October to help, but this is nuts! I need your prayers!

Why oh why do women worry? Grief. So Sarah, Donna, do you stop worrying by the time you have the number of kids you do? Or is your worry worse and you just go crazy?

Really? Oh great. Is worry a part of our femaleness? It seems like my husband doesn't ever worry.

One kid by each door. When you have more than one kid, you can't have every kid in "the safest spot in the car". You just have to buckle them in and trust God. BTW, I am not convinced there is a safest spot in the car...in many cars, the car seat doesn't fit the best in the middle seat, so it's not the safest anyway.

We're already crazy.  Seriously, you just have to learn what to let go and what is important. And yes, sometimes worry still overwhelms me (um...like every time I see a tractor lately  ). It's a constant giving it to God, IME.
If anyone doesn't read in "my" thread...I'm going to the hospital to start cervadil tonight and pit in the morning. Woohoo!

Yay Donna! Not long now 
Thanks Sarah and Donna for advice on the carseats! Did you put the baby on your right hand side behind the passenger seat so that they were easier to see, and the older directly behind you?
