My biggest fear has been that something bad would happen to the baby and if more people knew (especially the blogging world as a whole), it would be even harder to get through.&#160;Even writing publicly about the baby now makes me feel that I seem overconfident. So, until I&#39;m holding a healthy baby, I&#39;ll still be scared (and then, surprise, surprise,&#160;the real worrying begins).</p> <p>I need to be a public person with my role at Six Apart, but having someone else to protect and take care of has made me realize how much of a private person I really am. The balance of being public for work and private for life can be difficult at times and we&#39;re constantly&#160;figuring out what our comfort zones are on a daily basis. </p> <p>But we&#39;re really excited and are completely amazed by how fast this all goes. There seems to be a bit of a baby boom going on in my circle of friends and that makes us even more anxious to meet our little one! </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00b8ea0716eb1bc000d41446d95b685e?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> baby pregnancy
