can't we just be???

wow it amazes me as one gets closer to the arrival of yet another wee one....the dr's visits seem to increase, "you might get high bp", "you might get diabetes"....... i seriously do NOT get how everyone becomes SO PARANOID with the onset of delivery in the horizon. is it really so hard to believe that birth is a natural, normal event that does not need all of this fear incorporated???? our bodies are "ingenius," thx to our blessed creator. just let them do their jobs...PeOpLe!!!!

HA! :) I guess you won't be reading "What To Expect When You're Expecting" then. :) I think it's the world's scariest book for new mom's listing every possible thing that could, might, may, go wrong!!! I should find it for you because I think I'd like to hear your critique. Hope you're well.

Amen!!

I agree... it has been happening for years & it's natural. People just love being afraid... it just gets worse as the kid gets older. I wasn't "allowed" to go for a walk with another mom today cause Maylyn has a cold. She felt her daughter might get sick from my daughter through the windows of a chariot!! Get a life?!??!! Hope you all are doing well. It will be all over before you know it!! Hope you are enjoying yourself!
