The Ticking Clock of Pregnancy
TTC is a toroturously infinate process. There's no way to know when it will end. Then you get the BFP and all of the sudden you have a certain amount of time before everything will change.
Yikes.
Most people think about that moment when you body will force you to push that baby through what seems like such a tiny hole. Once you're pregnant, that baby has to come out and it's only a matter of time. Tick...tick...tick....
Not me. What is my clock ticking about? What has suddenly become unavoidable? What am I worried that I may not be able to get through? In approximately seven months and thirteen years we will be the parents of a...TEENAGER.
It's no longer a concept, we cannot avoid it, and it might just be more painful than giving birth.

I hear you. The teen years scare the crap out of me.
LOL! Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm 13 years probably almost precisely from being the mama of a teenager, and a teenage *GIRL* at that. Oh boy. Better start stocking the liquor cabinet now. :P
I totally get you...mine just turned a year and I'm freaking out about teaching her how to drive. Maybe we could all go in on a big bottle of Xanax when the time comes, yes?
Call me Crazy Mary Sunshine, but I'm completely stoked about having a teenager. I am sooooo looking forward to talking with my kids about adult-type things like politics and literature and sex. Right now, 80% of my conversations with James are about cows and other furry mammals :-)
Everything you think about how much it will suck is totally true. I speak from experience. The only cure is to laugh at them. Preferably with a partner or close friend while hiding in the bathroom.
