"Whenever I let my brain get too quiet these days, I&amp;#039;m overwhelmed with baby-related fears. Today&amp;#039;s fears, in no particular order:  My husband&amp;#039;s plane will crash. Or he&amp;#039;ll be in Times Square when a terrorist gets the whole &amp;quot;bomb&amp;quot; thing right. Rory&amp;#039;s on his last work trip before the baby comes\u2014thank God!\u2014and I&amp;#039;m counting the minutes &amp;#039;til he&amp;#039;s safe in Brooklyn. Still, he takes the subway to and from the office every day, and he works about two blocks from where that bomb was supposed to go off. I&amp;#039;m scared enough to raise a baby in a two-parent household. I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;m tough enough to do it alone.  I&amp;#039;ll do something to hurt the baby before it&amp;#039;s born. Yesterday I took a spill while crossing the street. One minute I was walking, the next I was on my hands and knees. That can&amp;#039;t be good for the baby. Neither can the pint of frozen yogurt I&amp;#039;ve been consuming every two days. (It&amp;#039;s organic, though! And the calcium can&amp;#039;t hurt, right?) I&amp;#039;d say I make healthy choices\u2014and manage to walk without falling\u2014about 90 percent of the time. But what&amp;#039;s happening to the baby the other 10 percent of the time?  I won&amp;#039;t know what to do when the baby gets here. People keep telling me that being a mom is only natural\u2014but what if I&amp;#039;m not a natural? We&amp;#039;re taking a newborn care class in two weeks. Will that be enough? What am I going to do when I have a screaming baby staring at me, and I have no idea what it wants?  What were your pre-baby fears? Did any come true? Or did you do a whole lot of worrying for nothing? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
