I am constantly having nightmares about my kids. It is so strange, they have drowned, fallen from 3 story buildings, and been kidnapped numerous times. Most recently, my nightmare was that we had to choose one of the kids to be eaten by lions. Needless to say, I wake up screaming every time I have one of these horrible dreams. After the lion dream, we went to the zoo and I couldn't help laughing when Christian kept sticking his head in the lion fountain. Does anybody else have this same problem or am I just eating fried food too late at night???

UGH!!! NOT FUN! I had these dreams the most when I was pregnant. Fortunately not much since then.
The lion pictures are pretty funny. At least you can laugh about it a little bit.
Weird, I have nightmares about your kids too. Maybe not the same kind. :) I love you, lay off the fried fatty foods and you will be fine. I'll be calling you soon.
you know what? i take the last comment back. eat as much yummy food as you want, who cares? certainly not me.
I have had a few but not lately. I hate those kind of dreams they always scare me!!! It seems like I go in spurts with the dreaming sometimes a lot and then never... It was good to see you today!!!
Yeah, this is a tough one. I think a lot of people don't like to talk about it, but it's definitely not that rare. Any thought like that that tries to sneak in my head, I try to chase it out as quickly as possible.
Hi Brittany!
OK, so I've struggled with what you are talking about. Nightmares of terrible things and then waking anxieties of more terrible things. So I did something that helped. I accepted that something bad could happen to my kids that I would be completely helpless to stop. But if I had to stand at my child's funeral, would I want to say that I wasted a single day worrying? I decided that I would rather enjoy every precious moment as opposed to wasting it, especially if tragedy were ever to strike. Now, Brittany, I've seen you - you are a great Mom and you do enjoy every day with your kids. Now comes the hard part - letting your subconscious mind catch up with the rest of yourself. Best Wishes!
Shelly
