I Just Don't Know...

...good God, where do I even begin on what I just don't know???  If I was the type of person to simply just take each day as it comes my life would be SO much easier.  Instead, I focus on things I can't change, am not in control of, etc. and it kills me!  I know every single thing on this list will work itself out because even though I have trouble major issues letting go of control, I do realize in my head that it will all come out okay!  (I just can't get my "today brain" to realize that at the moment!)

Here are my "I Just Don't Know's"
  • How am I going to have time to shave my legs before delivery if my water breaks at school?  Yes, this is seriously a worry! With Bennett, my water broke at home on a Sunday, so I had time to hop in the shower, make myself presentable, and get to the hospital!  I was also in labor only 7.5 hours, so I'd better focus on a game plan with #2 almost here!
  • How are we going to have 2 kids?  I know I thought the same thing when I was pregnant with Bennett and I know it will become a new normal---but it's not here yet, so I wonder...
  • I've been a little a hell of a lot more emotional this pregnancy.  Will I make it post-partum without meds?  Already prepped the dr. on this one, so at least I'm not in denial!
  • How is Bennett going to react when baby #2 arrives?  The only major thing we're doing is changing his room before then.  I'm not taking away the bedtime sippy cup or anything else major b/c that's enough of a biggie I think!
  • Work a full time job with 2 kids under 2???  I only know it will probably be my sanity saver!
  • How will I give enough attention to both kiddos?
  • How will I ever have a clean house again?  Seriously?  I'm outnumbered here 3-1 when baby #2 gets here!  (Not that a girl would be neater, but maybe she'd have a "dirt aversion"! )
  • How will I be able to show the world how crazy I am about all of my boys without sounding like one of those raving lunatic moms?  I am literally THRILLED to have 2 boys, be a mom of boys, etc.  I SUCK at fixing hair (come on...just look at my own hair!) and have no tolerance for girl drama, but on the flip side, I know I'll have more ER visits on my checklist than Barbies!
  • How will I ever be able to get enough kisses in before they realize it's not cool to give mommy kisses?  You'd totally understand my reason for asking this if you could see Bennett snuggling on me, ready for bed, looking up at me with pursed lips, ready to give me a slobbery smacker!  Melts my heart EVERY time!
I'm sure there are more, but I have so many things on my mental "To-Do List" that I can't think of any more at the moment.  :)
