Don't despair already! You'll have years to do that :). If motherhood was only those true and crazy fears and insecurities, the world would be full of only children. The truly awe-inspiring feelings you'll have for your baby will outweigh (though sometimes BARELY) the fatigue and monotony that is the sacrifice we make when we go beyond ourselves to become parents and HAVE to think about someone other than ourselves. I have three lampreys, ages 6,3, and 1. The more kids I have, the less I know, which isn't a bad thing. It just means that I'm a little less of a know-it-all, less judgmental, and more accepting of my own and others foibles and follies. Girl, you are already there.
Best wishes for a healthy baby and mommy Heather. Come back to us whenever you feel like it.
