So I mentioned fear mongers a while back and I'll briefly touch on that subject today. "Fear Mongers" are what I like to refer to all those people that like to talk about the worse case scenarios. I'm a pretty big fan of TheBump.com and I enjoy the emails, advice, etc. What I need to avoid looking at are the comments from other "bumpies". This is where lots of people talk about their past horrible stories. I am as sensitive as the next, but I think that towards the start of my pregnancy these comments really scared me. They basically made me nervous about EVERYTHING.
Another example of this is a story another pregnant woman was telling me recently. She is on her second pregnancy and jumped into this story about how she had a c-section. During this c-section they missed twice trying to give her the shot that was supposed to numb her. Then, once they finally got it, it didn't numb her left side, so she freaked out. OMG I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME.
I was recently chatting to someone about this and how it seriously made me freak out (and made me want to puke a little bit). They basically told me that mommies like to tell their "war stories" of birth. So all of you-do me a favor and until I'm done with this beautiful time in my life-save me the icky stories unless it's something I can avoid. I can't take the pressure. I'm a pretty big worry wart lately anyhow. Oh, and if I decide to tell you my war story after I'm done feel free to tell me to shut it.
On a lighter note, we get to find out the gender of the baby on Monday morning! I keep asking Gizmo if he'd like a brother or a sister but he has stayed quiet so far. Jamie and I tried to test him the other night with "bark if you want a boy" or "lay down if you want a girl" and he didn't really cooperate. I think he finally laid down after Jamie was barking at him trying to get him riled up enough to bark (he was probably just scared of the crazy human barking at him). I will try to get Jamie's barking on video sometime so all of you can see it. It's priceless.
Below is the Baby's First Onesie! So cute:)
