8. Bugs, spiders, and anything else that is creepy and crawly. If I see a bug and it somehow gets away before I have the chance to properly do away with it, it's all I can think about. I do not like them!!
7. Moving out of driving distance from GA. I love that we can just hop in the car and drive home when we want to. There is a high probability that we will be living in San Antonio in a few years, and I am already worried about the fact that every time we want/need to go home we will have to book a flight or spend two days driving. :/
6. Out-living my parents. We had a close call last year, and I just can't imagine life without them.
5. Natural disasters. As soon as we moved to the Gulf Coast, I suddenly had to think about Mother Nature and tropical weather. My first experience with this was when I had my first OBGYN appointment after arriving to Biloxi. They handed me a form explaining what to do in the event of being close to my due date and/or going into labor during tropical weather. Way to freak out a pregnant lady!! When Derek & I were both gone last month, we had to leave the house prepared for a hurricane since we are in the midst of the season..it was just kind of a weird, scary thought. A lot of the structures that survived Katrina have markers on their property that show how high the water rose during the storm...it's amazing to see. I truly cannot imagine having gone through that and literally losing everything.
4. The unknown, or things that are out of my control. I am a total type A person who likes to have a plan..so if things are out of my control, I feel anxious and helpless.
3. Being at home alone for long periods of time. I have always lived in "safe" neighborhoods, but when Derek would be TDY when we lived in VA..I would always worry. I would have to check the doors about a million times before I could go to bed at night. I love living on base b/c it makes me feel so much more at ease.
2. Never being able to consistently get a good night's sleep again. Until recently, I never had any trouble sleeping whatsoever. I could fall asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow and would very rarely wake up in the middle of the night. Once Shelby came along, I had a little bit of trouble falling asleep at night b/c I would worry she might awaken, etc. Then fast-forward to when Shelby was about 5.5 months old..she started sleeping through the night like a champ, and I was so excited to have uninterrupted sleep again! Right around the same time this happened, I started a new prescription that {unbeknown to me} had an uncommon side effect of insomnia...which I definitely experienced. Ugh..it was miserable. My baby was finally sleeping through the night, and I was barely getting 1 or 2 hours of sleep each night. As soon as we realized the culprit of my insomnia, I quickly got off the medication. But my sleep habits have never really returned to normal since then..who knows why?? Okay that was a lot of rambling to basically just say, oh how I wish I could be as good of a sleeper as Miss Shelby...that girl loves her some sleep!
1. And last but not least, I fear losing my hubby or my baby girl. They are my whole world. I would be lost without them.
Sheesh, this was not a fun post to write at.all. So to lighten the mood at bit, here's something that's sure to put a smile on your face!!
