Child Spacing
So I think I must be a little preoccupied with child spacing lately. Last night I had a dream that I got pregnant while I was pregnant, and that this new baby would be coming only a couple of short months after Anthony. In the dream I was talking to another mom and asking her how my body knew which one to deliver first, and wondering how the other baby would stay inside during labor. She just kept reassuring me that my body would know what to do, and that it would be okay. I woke up feeling fine, so my mind must have rid itself of whatever it was that was troubling my subconscious (I always try to decipher the meaning of my dreams, but that one wasn't too difficult to figure out.)

Oh Lisa-that's funny! Dreams when pregnant are always so bizarre. I remember dreaming that I gave birth to a cat, and then to a baby that was a large baby (more like a 1 year old), but he wasn't cute, and had teeth and was more like a small man....ha ha! The only times I've ever woke up crying were while pregnant-so strange.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow...you should rest assured that there is no need to worry, because worrying won't change a thing. Whenever I worry, I always recite in my head two things:
#1: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything through prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God"
#2: "Do not worry about tomorrow, for let tomorrow worry about itself".
Reciting the word works miracles:-))
You can rest assured that you don't need to worry about child spacing, as you are already in the boat. You have no more decisions to make in that department, right?! I know I'm right, SO, that is a worry you need not have.
You are a tough girl, and these times go by fast, and little Anthony will come and you will adjust to a new schedule-I know you will! And with flying colors, too:-)
One other thing, I know that all the Christian music can be soothing as well, but sometimes when I'm worrying/stressed out, I put on some Bob Marley, and dance around with the kids a bit, and that works well too! "Don't worry about a thing, because every little thing, is gonna be alright. This is my message to you-ou-ou". -Bob Marley. Another B. Marley: "Were jammin', I want to jam with you. I hope you like jammin' too."
O.K., I'm done. Have a Happy Friday:-)
Great response Roxanne!! Also Michael Franti's Say Hey (I Love You) is a great uplifting song and video. Sarah and I dance all over the house like I used to do with you girls.
ReplyDeleteLisa, worry is fine - it shows you care, but you know you will look back after a couple of months with Anthony in the fold and smile. From now on your schedule will be ever-changing - right Roxanne? Mine still is - a new job schedule, new college quarter, etc. How can Anthony not be a content and happy baby with all of the love in your home??
Put worry to the side where it belongs.
Candy and Roxanne-
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging words! You guys are great. And yes Roxanne, to clarify- DONE (at least in this life.) ;)
Hmmm, that is kind of funny and interesting all at the same time. I'm totally in to interpreting dreams too! I didn't know that about you. Sounds like you aren't worried though :) But really, that would be so weird. I remember reading in the Guinness book of world records many years ago that the farthest days apart between a set of twins' birth was 90 something days! How's that even possible!?
