It is 13 days until delivery day and I am wrecked. We have been together as a complete family for over a week and that has been wonderful. C had been gone for about 50 days out of 75 prior to that and it was a lot of work. Anyhow, now I am sitting here with my partner home, my kids pretending to behave most of the day and I have no energy. Granted some of that has to do with an iron issue, so I take iron pills daily. However, this is ridiculous.
We got the kids bunk beds to make room for the baby. They do a pretty good job of sleeping at night, but naptime is a constant battle. So to fix the issue I now put Hay into my room during naptime. Yesterday I let her stay in there by herself and then at night I realized my nice homemade wood bed had crayon drawings of hearts, letters and lines all over it. So I decided I have to be in there with her or chaos will ensue.
Today I laid with her in my room and Hunter in their room. It turned out nicely for us. I fell asleep, as did both the kids, and it was just what I needed. Now to do this every day as I obviously need the rest. What's going to happen when the new baby shows up? I am a little nervous I might pass out due to exhaustion then too... ugh!
All I can do is stay strong and keep positive. Its a little tough to do with contractions 10x a day and one evil one at night during one of the three pee wakeups I do each night. But, I will persevere... I think. God be with me!
