Irrational

(but possibly rational?) Fears that I have about my child that will be here next month:
1. My baby will be stupid from my sleeping on my back.
2. I will have back labor from sleeping on my back.
3. My baby will be born with teeth.
4. My baby will be one of those wolf-children that is covered with hair.
5. My baby will have either one or three eyeballs due to my caffeine consumption (though minimal) during pregnancy.
6. I will forget to feed my baby the same way that I (frequently) forget to feed the dog.

Some of these can be overcome, really. I swear. Okay, infant electrolysis is expensive, but worth it. If you forget to feed the baby you will look like Elsie the cow, you won't forget.

You're reading too many baby books. The odds of any of those things happening has to be more than winning the powerball. If anything, worry about the kids that will tease your kid about you sleeping on your back. J/K

LOL!!
You two are the best.

What, you're not worried s/he will be a vikings fan? I'm sure the baby will be quite vocal if you forget a feeding. Unless you implant earplugs, you'll be reminded!

Yeah, Erin, that feeding thing, Kristin's right. You'll remember the first time you lose your balance from the added weight, fall into the wall and put holes in the sheetrock.
Oops! Another thing to worry about.

Let down should clue you in as well. :)

I would really be more worried about the freaky tooth baby. How weird would that be to give birth to your babe, and he (yes he) looks up at you and flashes you a toothy smile?! HA HA! I'm sorry, but I would laugh. And take pictures. And sell them for a lot of money.

The teeth thing is my worst fear. Really.
Creepy as hell.

Happens--ask DJ Porter....

With the whole sleeping on your back thing, with two parents as smart as you and Richard, you're just dumbing the baby down enough to be able to function socially with all us other average joes out there. You're doing her a favor, really.

hairy babies are beautiful too.

erin said...

Even wolf babies?
I mean, hel-LO!
Look at Michael J. Fox.
Would YOU want your baby to be born that way?

angie said...
