Paranoia

I wonder if the paranoia that comes the second you discover you're pregnant ever goes away? I mean, 16.5 months into this, I'm still kind of a freak. A couple of weeks ago, Sam got a red bump on her eyelid. I figured it was a stye. Slightly painful and annoying, but no big deal. Then a week turned into 2 and it still hadn't gone away. I envisioned Sam losing her vision because I'd misdiagnosed her and missed valuable treatment time. So off to the doctor I go today...in the pouring rain and when I can hardly feel like moving I'm so sick...only to discover that it is in fact a stye. A stye that will go away on its own.

The plus side is that it got me to shower today.

So paranoia does have a purpose! Without it we would all be smelly!

But no, I don't think it ever goes away. I would have gone to the doctor too!

Glad it's nothing serious!

In my short four years of experience, nope, the paranoia doesn't go away.
Maybe when they get married? Buy a house? Turn 30?
