Late pregnancy thoughts

Tonight, as i layed next to my son, waiting for him to fall asleep 
I found myself having trouble relaxing 
found that all my body was really filled with 
(Exept for the soon to be born baby) 
was worry and fear 

What if we have to wake our son up in the middle of the night? 
he has never slept a night without me 
and it's hard to let go 
And trust that he will be ok
what if I scare the hell out of him with my pain
and what if he feels totally abandoned? 

Right now, our son wants us to be wherever he is 
in the same room
right beside him 
and as a parent 
you sometimes doubt everything you do 
is it my fault that he is so clingy right now? 
am I doing something wrong? 
and most of all 

How will I handle this big wave of change 
coming our way? 

But then I heard this tiny little voice 
from somewhere deep within saying: 

Youre doing the best you can 
You don't know all the answers 

And I found myself crying 
thinking:
I am. I'm doing all I can for my little boy 

And when it comes down to it
that's really all we can do as human beings 
and parents 
Isn't it? 

Cause how can we know moore than we know? 
And do moore than we can? 

Thank you. Love/ mom
