I am also stressed ou...Kiera...you are not alone!! I am also stressed out beyond belief when my kids get sick. My biggest fear when they are learning to eat solids is choking.<br /><br />I agree that we need to be our children's advocates and sometimes that means being much more cautious than anyone else. I think it is always safer to err on the side of caution.<br /><br />I will say that as they get older and can communicate with us better then I have relaxed much more. I've only been a mom for 5 years but I have learned from different situations when to become more stressed and when to realize that with a warm bath and lots of cuddling they'll be ok. I used to take my kids to the dr at the drop of a hat but now I realize that I can nurse them at home for a few days and they'll start to get better (when it isn't something serious.)<br /><br />When my first was born I was completely terrified of SIDS (I still am with babies)and I couldn't sleep when we brought her home from the hospital. I remember asking my husband to give her a priesthood blessing so she would sleep safely. I think the priesthood can be a huge blessing when our little ones are sick...and they can also be a huge blessing when we as mothers need comforting or counsel.<br /><br />The fact that you're worried shows that you love your son and that you are a great mom! Good luck!Shaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042648294991492200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075141067024642387.post-77188801886219373732010-02-27T08:54:08.345-06:002010-02-27T08:54:08.345-06:00It's because we love them SOOOOO much!

I feel the same way ...You are definitely not alone. I feel the same way and I have two kids. Although I must say I am MUCH more relaxed the 2nd time around and yes, it does get better with experience, so don't stop having kids if worrying is your reason for not! You are doing a great job. I still freak out every time I heard my girls cough. I HATE sickness. It is miserable for all involved. I have pure anxiety every time my kids get sick, but it really is getting better. It also helps a lot as they get older, it is not near as bad as when they are helpless infants.

I have three kiddos and I still get incredibly anxious when something happens to one of them. No matter how trivial. You do learn to relax and roll with the punches some, but these are your precious little ones. YOU are responsible for them and you need to have some urgency when it comes to things like getting sick or hurt, etc. I think our mothers' generation thinks we are a bunch of "book moms" with little common sense and of course I disagree. You are a great mom! You may need to take a few deep breaths and relax a bit, but you are doing great. You are BEING a MOM!
