Yesterday, was not a great day.
I'm trying to make today better. Something about early pregnancy always causes lots of anxiety for me, and this time it's almost worse, because I know that terrible things happen, and I am in no way immune. I try not to worry about it, but it's not something I feel like I control. I wake in the middle of the night, sweaty and cold and anxious.
I don't have much to say. I'm forcing myself to get out of the house as I will feel worse if I just sit here.
I am so sad for Mirne and Craig. I am just shocked for them and I can't imagine how their world has fallen apart.
Anyone have any pregnancy friendly tips for relieving anxiety? I can't do this for the next nine months. It can't be good for either one of us, and that makes me anxious about being anxious...sigh...

I have been away awhile from blog land but I am so happy for you. Congrats on the pregnancy. I will pray for your little one to grow healthy.
Sorry I don't have any remedies for you.
I am anxious as well, I keep telling myself I'll feel better when I see the ultrasounds and whatnot, but deep down I don't think the anxiousness will go away until we bring our babies home, safe and sound. **HUG** I am right here with you girl.
Lindsay, I lost touch after I took my laptop in to get cleaned up, and boy did they clean up... all my files, favourites, etc. I just found you linked from another blog, and I am just catching up on your exciting news! It sounds like you're not having an easy time of it, I pray that things begin looking up for you very quickly. Be well,
Nilia
I really don't know much. I probably say all the wrong things. But, just one thought I have is this: maybe if reading a lot on blogs does more to increase your anxiety than relieve it, you could think about taking little breaks...stepping away every now and then? I don't know, sorry that's probably completely the wrong thing to say.
I'm thinking of you and wishing you peace and calm. xxxooo
Lindsay, ask for a referral to a reproductive psychiatrist. Not kidding, there is such a thing. I was referred when Calvin's heart defect was found at my twenty week scan and I was crying and axious all the time. My doctor's specialty was mood disorder during pregnancy and she knew every drug out there that could be used to help anxiety. I ended up with a script for some ativan which I used occassionally to help me sleep at night. It stopped my racing heart and panic attacks about what might happen and I was able to endure my pregnancy thanks to her. I also have a book I could send you if you want. Send me an email and give me your address hon. Love you
Hold onto the Lord, and let Him carry you.
Oh Lindsay!
Just catching up. I am so, so happy for you!
This is such an anxious, terrifying, yet hopeful time for you. I'm right along with you.
One day at a time.... we'll make it.
