Thinking about labor

I know, I know. I'm still 15 weeks away, but it is never too early to freak out about having to push a baby, the size of a watermelon through that area.

.

My mantra is, and will be until labor itself "Literally billions of women have done this before me. This is what my body was made for. Suck it up"... or something like that.

If you know me or my husband personally you know that it is extremely difficult for us to take each other seriously. I have visions of us locking eyes while I'm in the midst of a terrible contraction and him cracking up. I have thought about that fateful evening when my water will break and I'll have to wake him up from a dead loudly snoring sleep and he will FREAK OUT and fall out of bed. He doesn't do well being woken up... that is for sure.
I think all of these things, positive thoughts and personal mantras are what will help me get through the thought of labor. Hopefully they'll be able to get me through the actual task.
