Don't take Family Therapy when you're pregnant!

I really enjoy my family therapy class! Dr. DiBlasio teaches the class, and he has years of clinical experience (he's in private practice) and makes hard clinical concepts very easy to understand.

But....

As we are reading about the history of family therapy and problems that occur because of interactions and triangles and personality differences and double binds...I am becoming a little nervous about my soon-to-be born son (yes! It's a boy!) My husband constantly reminds me that we communicate well and that we are on the same page and that we pray for strength and direction and wisdom...but what if I turn into a clinical madwoman with my child???

Last year, I wrote several times that it's all about perspective. Nothing has changed--it is all about perspective. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to raise a son, especially with my husband. I am certain that we will make mistakes, and I am certain that it will be hard...but when it's all said and done...I am sure that Baby ???? Foster will turn out just fine.

I'm preparing for midterms and hoping to take the LGSW either right before or after graduation! Pray for me. I am exhausted and overwhelmed with what needs to be finished before May 16th rolls around.

If anyone has any boy name suggestions...send me an email!

Good luck on midterms!
