*just what I needed - tornadoes?!!!!*

[OctoberMommy2014]

so as some of you may know, we're from South Carolina.. we heard about the warnings yesterday, but they are in FULL force today.. it's almost 11 a.m., I've been up since 9 a.m., just fell asleep at 7 a.m. I don't feel good at all, mainly b/c of exhaustion, I'm 14w5d, and quite frankly I'm starving.. wonderful day so far!!!!!!! (sarcasm). -- we are facing flooding rains, large-sized hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.. whattttt?!!!!

I'm not kidding at all when I say the thought of a tornado used to have me in a corner, nauseous, having panic attacks.. it was my #1 fear. more than snakes, clowns, or any other creepy crawly thing in this world!! well, eventually I prayed long & hard enough, fought my fear, and I slowly got over it. hardest thing I had to do in my life..

well, what have I gotten engaged to?! a full-blown tornado-phobic man who is now FREAKING OUT.. and his family?!!!!! oh my sweet baby Jesus.. they're already talking about putting mattresses in the bathroom.. and I don't even know what else. I don't even want to hear it.. I'm just of hearing it.. I have more to worry about!! I know this is all dangerous, but geez.... GOD is in control. I can't do anything but pray & hope for the best. I'm all this baby has!!!!!!!

I'M TRYING TO NOT STRESS & NO ONE IS HELPING!!!! I keep reminding him that I have TWO, TWO, TWO people to worry about... me & the baby!!! I can't stress, I can't panic, my heart rate affects the baby's heart rate.. nothing I say is helping. no one understands how stressful it already is to be pregnant & worry about that in itself, but now everyone is freaking me the $#@! out & I'm getting pissed, worried, just UUUGGGGGHHHHH!! everyone insists on watching NOTHING but the weather channel, pointing out the weather map, talking about the possibilities, blah blah blah..

please, please keep us in your prayers.. including my sanity.. because I'm slowly losing it..
love you ladies.. & I'll keep you updated.. ❤

Stay safe (and sane) ladies.  Pop in some headphones and try to stay calm.

I finally couldn't take it anymore - I was soooo exhausted, aggravated, and just didn't feel good.. so I laid down & took a nap, and what do I wake up to?!!

THE SUN SHINING BRIGHT OUTSIDE!! haha lol - these crazy people will learn to listen to me one day.. all that stress, anxiety, for nothing..

my fiancé says, well you can't help but worry about stuff like that..
and I said, yeah well.. sometimes you just have to give it to God.
me & the baby took a long, well-deserved nap.. while all of them sat around twiddling their thumbs! lol smh..

thank ALL of you ladies for the prayers, and I'm still praying for those who were and/or could be affected. it looks like we're safe for now & just praying it stays that way!!! ((((: ❤

We just had 2 days of bad weather  in AL. Hubby and I were watching as a tornado touched down over a hospital on tv. His family are weather worry warts too! His mother kept saying if we go to the basement, we better be prepared to just stay there. Or we'd be watching the weather and she comes in to inform us of a tornado warning two counties away. We went through tornadoes April 27, 2011. So having tornadoes again April 28, 2014, everyone was edgy. But I was ready to just pull my hair out. I'm also 30 weeks pregnant and have 2 other children. The stress was frustrating.
