Preemie
My husband's very close friend had her baby on Thursday... she was my pregnant twin (we were both due January 25th). Now my husband is worried that the same thing is going to happen to me.
Both mom and baby are doing well, but the little guy is only 4lbs and is in intensive care.
He's so excited to meet little Madeleine, but doesn't want her to arrive too early. He was a worrier before he found out about his friend, now he's even worse. I try to remind him that we're two different people and things happen for a reason, but he doesn't seem to really hear me. He's been worrying so much that he's made himself sick...
He’s worried that my schedule is too hectic… I work M, T, R and F 8am – 7pm (really nothing going on at work… very NON stressful) and counsel a student on Wednesdays and attend 2 grad classes later that evening. I’ve been doing this all along my pregnancy and I only have 3 more weeks of this schedule…
But I feel terrible... is there anything I can try to do to put his mind at ease?
