*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.. ❤

I don't blame you lol! I hope the TV or power doesn't get knocked out. They would all probably have a panic attack lol

Ugh, I hate tornadoes, too! So sorry! I live in tornado alley, unfortunately, so I get to freak out like that many times every year :( It's so much better during the day than at night, tho! That's when I really freak out! During the day you can watch the clouds and see what's happening. Best thing to do is have a plan of action and then just enjoy your day the best you can. Hope all goes well for you!

omg, THEY WILL!!! it happens every time we have a thunder storm.. idk why the power uptown doesn't work so well, but at MY HOUSE with my parents we don't lose it like that.. but I choose to stay here so my fiancé can experience this whole pregnancy with me ya know?

well, they're driving me crazy!! if the TV goes out they bring out the candles, blankets, like SERIOUSLY?!!!!!

I'm in NC so far it's just stayed cloudy and a little windy right here. We've had flood warnings but only 1 thunderstorm late last night. We also have had tornado watch since yesterday but isn't nothing people can do besides stay calm. If they hit they hit stressing and freaking out won't change that. They shouldn't be stressing you out and should be trying to make sure you stay as calm and relaxed as you can. It's hard enough being pregnant and knowing y'all can be hit by one or more tornadoes and if so your stress level will definitely increase. I'll definitely pray for you. Just keep trying your best to block them out and not stress. And hopefully y'all won't get hit by any. Will also pray fir you angelama.

ugh, I know.. I mean who doesn't worry you know? but GEEZ!!! I'm sick of hearing it, seeing it, breathing it right now!!! "/

thank you sooo much!! I'll definitely be praying for you!! apparently our warning is from 12-8 p.m. - 6 out of 10 chance for tornadoes.. Lord, I just want some peace!!! lol I was just rushed to run to mcdonald's with my fiancé b/c we have to eat NOW or we'll starve I guess?! lol

I'm just trying to keep myself calm, no one else is helping. please keep us in your prayers.. just preparing myself for the breakdowns that are going to happen around here!!! ugh..
