About it too much, until this baby arrives as I would be working myself up for nothing and I know I’ll manage somehow when she’s here. For reference it’s just me and my hubby so we don’t have anyone to support us like grandparents for any breaks so it’s been 3 years of constantly being on the go without a real break. I wouldn’t say I’m the happiest and I’m definitely burnt out and I still work full time but I now try to take little moments for myself. Like a bath or a coffee out or watch a movie once in a while. Mundane things but crucial to my mental health. You got this momma. Also my inbox is always open
Ahh I know that feeling too. I’m pregnant also with 2nd baby and it’s just messing up with my mental health & such & I hate that I’m annoyed/frustrated around my little 1. She’s 18months and I get their just dealing with their emotions and not sure how to work with it but yeah, just have to try take some time out like @Suzie said for a breather. It is hard to be calm & easy when you feel stressed and worked up all the time. Try take it easy and have a moment to yourself (when you can). 🙂💕
I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Some days are super super rough but you just get through them. There are good moments. Not many to start with but they do come. Watching your little ones together is what drives you through. You won’t be able to envision that till they are here. You just need to find patience or walk away from your toddler if it’s to much take a breather then come back. It’s ok if you snap we’re only human working on no sleep and they do test us. So if you find yourself shouting don’t beat yourself up about it. Just focus on how you might manage it better next time or how you would like to have approached the situation. Every night I tell myself I wish I didn’t do xxx and I’ll do better tomorrow. That tomorrow is yet to come but I know I did my best today. Survival mode is in full activation. I’m about to add an April baby which means for a while I’m going to have 3 under 4 and while I know I’m dreading it I tell myself just one day at a time and I don’t think
