Am I missing out on something?
The last two weeks of waiting have felt very long. The only info or feedback to go on is from A – I wake up each morning and ask how she’s doing. Not the normal Good Morning question, I want to know what’s she’s feeling or not feeling. Is she tired? nauseous? in pain? hungry? sleepy? She’s my only link to what’s happening.
I’ve kept a reserved mindset – I call it Cautiously Optimistic. I think it’s somewhat of a protective approach in case something goes wrong – which is a very real possibility given we are in the very early stages. I’m worried that if I give in to the thrill of the excitement it could make things harder later.
But I just can’t stop thinking that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity — our first kid. You don’t get to recreate these moments. Am I missing out on a something? Am I going to regret my cautious mindset?
Nah, I think that’s perfectly normal. I’m sure everything will go fine, but there’ll be plenty of time to get all excited once you feel like you’re “in the clear” to do so. Pregnancy lasts for 9 months, after all…
Thinking good (and discreet) thoughts for you guys!
Don’t worry too much… everything will be just fine. It’s great to see how involved you are with the process as well. Sending tons of positive thoughts your way…
