Realizing I only have 3 months and 3 weeks before I have a baby really just tore me down because I don't completely have it together for this baby
It's not about my hormones and having other children it's about only having me to do it
You will get it together girl don't beat yourself up I'm 32 weeks and still don't have a carseat! Things will fall into place!
It's not so much as the small things like that it's not being able to find a place in reasonable price that I'm trying to do this month and I haven't talked to the father in months so I can't tell him to buy anything especially since he changed his number so I just have to wait for him to call me whenever that will be so I'm trying to do this on my own and I can't find a job and it gets harder the further along I get so it's just depressing me but I'm no less excited I'm actually more excited that I don't have that much time left to meet my baby
You're gonna make a way for yourself & your children. I'm on my 5th, live alone doing everything by myself. My youngest son's dad gives me $ every 2 weeks so I wouldn't have to stress about working bc I would be able to work if I wasnt in this situation. But it gets better. As mothers we find ways to make it work. I'm also in school & graduate in Sept. Praying for you🙏🏾
I was SO stressed out at the end of my pregnancy for the same reasons. I wanted to have EVERYTHING ready. I did the best I could but I quickly realized after she was born that a lot of the things I was worried about weren’t absolutely necessary. Some things we didn’t even use. And the things we didn’t have before she was born we acquired after and everything worked out just fine.
We were living in a townhouse that wasn’t maintained by the landlord very well. We had a leak in the ceiling downstairs that turned into a dripping hole. It stressed me out so bad. I kept the baby upstairs with me those first few months. As the weather warmed up, we were constantly spraying for wood roaches that were getting inside through a small crack under our back door. As she started wanting to crawl it made me so nervous bc I was concerned about the chemicals we had to use bc landlord wouldn’t fix the door or have the building professionally sprayed. I was losing my mind! Literally THE day she started crawling we moved into a much nicer apartment and I cried. So just know that you will get it together. I know it’s easier said than done when your hormones are raging and you’ve got other children to care for too, but stay strong mama. I know exactly how you’re feeling. 💜
