what is wrong with people
Or, momma is overwhelmed!
It is a lot to take in. And it already seems like I can't get anything done as it is. I work 2 days a week, teach 2 night classes, and on my "days off" I have to clean the house from top to bottom due to the lead level we discovered. Add into that all the Kira time, Jeremy time, and other stuff like laundry and dishes. So, that leaves me with about an hour a day give or take an hour. Seriously. So, my "me" time is limited at best. Even when Kira was a newborn, I had more time. At least I had a chance to scrapbook and chat with my online buddies. Now, if I sit by myself for even a second I have someone needing something. (Take for example that I had already typed this entire post...right before Kira pushed the little blue button on my computer and shut the whole thing down.)
And daddy is overwhelmed, too. He just started a new job and works monday through friday, watches Kira those 2 nights a week that I teach...and then I was supposed to work all weekend, too. (I came home from work today to give him a break.) And he needs his "me" time even more than I do.
And we expect to be able to add a baby to this mix? Ah, the emotional upheaval has begun. I can vaguely remember feeling overwhelmed when I was pregnant with Kira, but then all I was worried about was being a mom! I am sure it will all be fine, but right now, it is hard to trust that.
And people are so insensitve. Do they not have any idea how overwhelmed I am? YES, I am aware of that little pill I could have taken to prevent this. Do you not realize that we were not TRYING to prevent this? YES, I am aware there will be 2 babies in the house at once. Do you have to remind me every 5 seconds? YES, I KNOW that it is going to be very stressful. Are you trying to make it worse?
Geez, people. Can I have a little support in my corner, please? Like maybe telling me about the benefits of having another baby? Or maybe offering an ear to listen to me when I get stressed?
And just becaused I am stressed does NOT mean that I do not want this baby. I am THRILLED to be having another baby. I just need a little time for it to sink in before my head is filled with all the plans that need to be made.
Whew. Glad that is off my chest. I'll be in the bathroom for the upteenth time today if you need me. (I'd forgotten that part of it!)
