Does Mommy Anxiety Ever End?

I think back to pregnancy and despite being a wonderful 9 months of my life, it was also filled with anxiety because I was always worried about the baby. I remember Tim telling me the anxiety never stops, we were officially parents. He was right. I just love Hannah so much and I hate when anything seems off with her. THe last two days Hannah has been having spasms periodically throughout the day. Her shoulders stiffen, she pulls her head back and shakes for about 1-2 seconds. It has been really scary and I have been hoping they would stop, but they haven't so today I met the on call doctor at the office and showed him my video footage (yes, I have been videoing because it's a difficult thing to describe.) After viewing my clips and checking out Hannah he did NOT think they were seizures which is what I was afraid of. He really had no idea what they were or what was causing them, but he didn't think an EEG was needed at this point. He said to continue capturing footage and if her head ever goes forward like a 'jackknife' then it could be more serious. For now he was not overly concerned. I still am, but that is what mom's do.

On to a funnier topic. I've written before about how we don't let Hannah use her snuggly wrap anymore for naps. We have traded it in for her lovie blankey. She really likes the lovie, but every time I check on her, she is sound asleep with the blanket over her head. Maybe she isn't as smart as I thought....

Stay tuned the next two days for doctor blogs, Monday we see her surgeon and Tuesday she gets six month shots and a weigh in.
