In doing research on Stay-at-Home Dads (SAHDs) for an upcoming article in Vancouver Family Magazine, I came across a hilarious tribute to those guys who put career on hold to raise their kiddos:

One example of anxiety that I really remember from my pregnancy with Reaghan happened when I was six months along. We were on vacation in Hawaii and our room was on the 7th floor. It was the kind of hotel where all of the rooms open to the outside so we had to walk to our room on a really long balcony. There was a safety rail, but for some reason I was so scared that Emma was going to slip and fall thru the rail. It was ridiculious because she seriously would have had to roll in butter to slip thru that rail! But I was so afraid I would make her walk along the inside with one hand on the wall, and have Wes walk on the other side of her. Still, silly as they are, feelings like that would really take away from me enjoying times that should have been fun. After I had Reaghan I felt even worse. We had two flights of stairs and I just knew if I carried her up the stairs I would fall and she would get hurt. I was scared to the point that I could not make myself walk up the stairs

When I had Emma I experienced minor feelings of postpartum depresson. Once, when she was a week or so old I ran to the store for diapers and left her home with my Mom. Well there I was in Freddy's walking down the baby aisle and "Wind Beneath My Wings" came on. Next thing I knew I was bawling, I looked down and I had leaked milk all over my shirt...luckily I was crying so hard that the big wet marks could have passed as tears:) That went on for about six months or so, feeling sad and crying. But everything I read said it was normal and it passed. Then when I was about six months pregnant with Reaghan I started having really sad feelings, crying spells (ok crying days) I figured I was just hormonal. Then I started having really bad anxiety feelings. Well I had no idea that this could happen while you were
