Reality check.......

posted 25th Jun
Only 7 weeks left to go.... I'm feeling kinda funny today. Part of me wants this baby out now, since I am starting to get pretty uncomfortable, but part of me feels like I'm not ready. I only have 7 weeks left of it just being me and Bella. I am scared that with my son being born I won't be able to continue giving everything Bella needs. I plan on breastfeeding Isaiah the same as I did Bella, butI remember how time consuming it was and just hope that there will be enough of me to go around for both my babies.
I also feel like I am falling behind on my house work and that is driving me crazy. I love to keep my house a certain way and pride myself in being a good wife and mother. Now I am finding it harder to do things, like scrub the inside of a jacuzzi tub and get the laundry washed, dried and put away. I hardly have any energy.
I really want to try to start potty training Bella, since she will be 18 mos on the 10th. It just seems like there is so much I want to do and I feel like I am getting no where. My pregnancy has flown by, faster than I wanted it too honestly. I haven't had any time to enjoy it really. So, I'm not sure where I am really going with this, but I kinda feel better letting some of it out.

I feel the same way but I didn't breastfeed my twins so I kinda feel like I shortchanged them. I am so afraid I will be closer to this baby because I will have more time because there is only one not two.

As far as the house work I have been making a list and I have certain things I do every day, takes about 30 minutes and I also pick one room a day and do stuff. Like Monday is Living room, Tuesday is bathroom, etc. I do sweep, mop and vaccum everyday though. I was so behind I had to have hubby help me catch up and now I am determined to keep up!!!

I have my husband's kids here for the summer, so I went from one kid and being 8 mos pregnant to 3 kids being 8 mos pregnant! The laundry is insane! I have to do about 2 loads a day and the dishes are overwhelming and I just have noooo strength! So by the time I get 3 kids bathed and off to bed I feel like someone should shoot me!

Just to ease your mind, I have been in your position and have had the same concerns and I just wanted to say it is amazing what you can do when you have to.As long as your expectations aren't too high and you take things in stride you may even enjoy all of the changes.I think 18 months is pretty early to potty train(jmo) but don't fret cause I trained mine when my second was 1 month old, and nursed and she was a screaming crying baby(acid reflux) and we survived with little to no help!I am definately buying a sling with my #3 though because then I think things will be harry for sure, maybe you could invest in one so you can have hands free for your oldest.Anyways good luck, things will be wonderful!
