Y'know what? Expecting a baby feels comforting to me. I have the anxiety anytime there's no kicks and everyday is full of the physical ailments, but when I feel a kick or roll, I just feel comforted. Or when I am thirsty and can tell myself "go get some fresh water, not for you but for the baby".
The selflessness of becoming a parent and having someone else to care for... It is comforting, because life is no longer about me.
