I don't want to be a mum today! *vent*

I feel like I'm going to cry....  

I've had a massive headache since 3am this morning - its now 6.30pm..

LO & I have both been sick on & off for 3-4 weeks.. I'm exhausted, mentally/emotionally & physically.

I was cooking dinner before, he went to the plate cupboard & pulled out a whole stack of plates/smashed them...

Im pissed at DH because i've been bugging him constantly to latch the freaking cupboards & he keeps telling me that i should be watching LO so he shouldn't be able to pull smurf out... well SORRY the second i turn my back to grab ingredients/stir dinner/open the fridge he takes the opportunity to smash cups, plates etc.

My vacuum is broken again so i can't suck up the small smashed bits.

I gave LO a bath just before & he wouldn't stay still for me to put his diaper on..... ohhhhhh that irked me..

Thats it.

I can't deal with this, i need to sleep, i need to cry... I can't do this tonight..

How the FRIG am i going to cope with 2 kids when on days like this i don't even feel like I'm coping with one!

I need a giant cuddle from DH, i feel so bloody hormonal.
Hes on night shift & doesn't know how I'm feeling.

To put the cherry on top of everything, i went to the DR today & have protein in my urine.. BP is 'normal'.. but i feel like this is the beginning of pre-e like with LO - hence the major headache ALL day.

Im so stressed..

Urghh!!

Im sorry you're going through this   Definitly get a second opinion about the pre e thing, it can get really bad really fast. Is there anyone who can come watch your LO so you can sleep? And your DH should put latches on the cupboard, what does he think you have eyes at the back of your head?! Kids always get into things, thats why they invented latches. I hope you feel better soon!

That sounds like a good idea! I think all mommies feel like this every so often. It is good she has a friend like you, to support her like you do.

((hugs)) I would say I'd come over sand keep you company but I'm working nights tonight aswell   if you want to get together just let me know.

hope u feel better soon and your DH fixes the cupboard for you!

thanks   but we have only met up once and we met on here lol.

Thank you mummies.. I really appreciate all of the support etc.

I just needed to let it all out because I'm feeling really overwhelmed.

I think 'reality' is finally sinking in - with everything that has been going on lately & i'm actually realising having a 2nd baby isn't going to be a walk in the park..

Im freaking out if I'm honest & it makes me want to break down crying quite often lately...

I feel selfish, but i don't know how I'm going to cope.. hopefully my hormones even out once baby is born because at the moment I'm a ball of nerves & get so hormonal/upset over everything.

LO is finally in bed & I'm going to clean and have a nice long shower/bed.

It'll be a well deserved LONG shower lol!

Have anyone to come help you for a few hours so you could take a shower and a nap?
Also, the trick to get men to do household things is to start doing them yourself. They can't stand to watch you do things they should be doing, because they're afraid you'll screw them up, and they take over.
Or, you could hire a handyman, loudly, over the phone, while he's home.
I realize these things are blatent manipulation, but they do actually work. Most of the time.

We should organise a perth mummies meet up!

It doesn't matter! It is nice to know people like you guys still exist.

OP, it will be ok. Probably not what you want to hear, but it will be. Every mother is nervous, and I don't think it matters how many kids you have had. I think every new life brings a new set of nerves. But wasn't it worth it the first time? Now with two, it is more of your experience and good, sweet nature you get to share with this world. You have BG to vent. And, of course, your Perth Mommies too, to help! Sometimes, you have to be selfish. You have to take care of yourself before you are able to take care of your babies. No one thinks less of you, and we shouldn't. It is natural, I think, as a mother to want that extra nap, that hot shower (ALONE!!!), or DH to just...clean something or pick up after himself. You are going to do great. The fact you worry about it shows that you will.
