OK, I don't know...how exactly to start this without making it sound awful. I was on the blog "baby rabies" ( http://www.babyrabies.com/2007/07/irrational-fear-2/ ) and couldn't help but kind of relate to one of her "irrational fear" posts:
"I am afraid I will lose interest in my baby. I have always been a sort of one-track, task focused type of gal. I find one thing I want, and put every last ounce of effort toward it until it is mine. It’s been like this as long as I can remember – cheerleading sqaud, lead in the play, boyfriend, college, wedding. The thing is, once I get what I want, my follow through is crap. This is proven by the stacks of unfinished post wedding projects lying about my apartment. If my parent’s ever get the parent albums I promised them, it will be a miracle. So what if I put all this time and energy into getting pregnant, creating the perfect nursery, picking out the best, coolest, safest baby gear, only to find that the baby bores me after 2 months???"
I feel I am the EXACT same way--I will throw EVERYTHING into the "preparing" part (case in point, I'm on Hellobee and not TTC for a few months!), and maybe am not so great at the follow-through... I'm not so much looking for validation here, but maybe more so anyone who went through the same "irrational fear..."
