Fears for years to find I'm blessed :)

I just need to take a minute this morning and say how incredibly blessed I am. I'm a worrier. I've always been a worrier and come from a long line of worriers. With that being said, my whole life I've been anxious about things that could go wrong with my pregnancies and it's even shaped our timeline in getting pregnant. My poor mom had severe hyperemesis gravidarum in both of her pregnancies that landed her in the hospital with severe dehydration threatening her life and our lives. Naturally I thought this was something that I would definitely deal with being that there is a genetic connection. Guess what...not a smidge of HG this pregnancy, and just moderate NORMAL morning sickness! Sure it's not the most fun but I can honestly say I am beyond thankful for normal morning sickness! Another thing I stressed about all the time was migraines and not ending able to take my medications. I got chronic migraines before pregnancy that required prescription drugs 2-3 times a week and I was worried sick about what I'd do when I couldn't take them anymore...guess what!? Not a single migraine this pregnancy!!! And lastly I worried about blood pressure during pregnancy because I tended to run on the high side beforehand...guess what!? pregnancy LOWERED my blood pressure significantly!!! Now I'm sitting here in awe of all the blessings I've been given and realize that all the years of fear and worry weren't worth it! Ladies, live your life without fear of the future, because there's no crystal ball. Anxiety only steals today's joy! Hope this helps someone, love and blessings.
