Is it normal to start feeling completely overwhelmed at this point in pregnancy?
I'm about 4 months away from meeting my little girl and I'm starting to freak out a bit!
I have the normal stress from work, well maybe a little more than usual this year....but now I'm stressing about the baby after she's born.
I'm/We are trying to figure out:
Babysitter
Maternity Leave-HR isn't very helpful
When we are ever going to start the baby room
How we are going to fit all this baby stuff in our small townhouse
Baby's name
Baby Budget
Maternity leave is the biggie right now. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth using up all my sick time and take some unpaid time off or if we can even afford it. Or do I really just need to go back to work after 6 weeks so I can have some sick time for the rest of the school year just in case (even though I'll be heartbroken to go back after 6 weeks).
I'm finding myself sighing a lot lately.
And on top of it all, Brian has been working nights and I've barely been able to spend any time with him. I cried the other morning when he said he wouldn't be home in enough time for me to see him before I left for work.
I've been pretty level headed so far, but I'm really starting think I'm losing it all!
Sigh.
