So, as I have mentioned before, the thought of having a third kid in the mix has overwhelmed me. Mix in lack of sleep already, potty training Teagan, working opposite shifts and never seeing Matt, and the hormones of being both prenatal and post-natal (is that a term???) and I am a total mess. I woke up crying yesterday and probably never stopped. I slept like crud last night, too. Partly because Emmersyn was up a ton more than normal and then her alarm went off because she likes to wiggle to the corner of the crib, and partly because my heartburn was horrible. I was crying at the idea of never sleeping again. (I know, over dramatic)
So, I did something completely out of character for me...I actually admitted to my momma that I am almost paralyzed with fear. Overwhelmed with finances, babies, time management, potty training, trying to be a good mom, throwing a baby shower for a friend, trying to find a new hous, and every day life stuff like dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. I feel like a complete failure at most everything right now and needed a little mom advice and support.
God love my mom. She knew what I needed to hear. She talked me off the ledge so to speak. At the end of the day, I know that it is just hormonal changes mixed with pure exhaustion, but man I hate feeling so blue!
Please pray that my hormones will balance out soon. I could use some calm in my life!
I love you guys and I'm so glad you have a mom who knows just what to say!
ReplyDeleteI am type A and i can relate to you being fearful; however, you are a fantastic mom and I know it will all work out. If you ever need anything, i am just across the road
