TERRIFIED

So far during my pregnancy I have been elated, and anxious about meeting my son/daughter. A few days ago I was thinking back to my labor and delivery with Hannah and remembered how that happens exactly, and how badly it hurts. I remembered the pain of childbirth, and how long it hurts afterwards, and it scared me! I know I have done this before, and I know that it is SO worth it to bring a little miracle into this world. But I am a big baby and am scared of pain. I don't even like to get shots! The sight of blood makes me queasy! I know he/she is in there now and will have to come out at some point, and it won't feel good! And this is making me nervous. Not to mention that my little preemie princess weighed only 3 lbs 1 oz. And it still hurt like hell! And of course I am hoping that this baby will make it to term and be 100% healthy, which also means that he/she will probably weigh somewhere around the average of 6 lbs....double of what Hannah did. Does that mean that the pain will also double? Anyway, I know that this is coming no matter what, and in the end it will be one of the best moments of my life, despite how painful it is.
