anxiety

ever since my son was born i find my self soo full of anxiety. im constantly checking if hes breathing . i worry over the littlest things. if hes not eating enough , if hes not having dirty diapers enough, even that hes sleeping to much. i keep myself up all night obsessing and worrying about him . i feel so drained from it all
but ilove my son soo much , so its all worth it

I was the same way When I had my son, I couldn't sleep, just watching over him... It will get better with time... Just try to sleep as much as you can, that will help with the anxiety...

Ohh yeah I was the same way. Lol its hard for the first month or two. I think I relaxed a little when he started to hold his head up more on his own. Just made me feel like he was a little less fragile..
