Another Monday. Headed to a chiro appointment at 11. It seems to be helping my hips already so I think finding one is turning out to have been a really good idea. Looking forward to this weekend - my birthday is Saturday and MH bought me tickets to Lion King!!! I've seen it once before and it was amazing so I'm really excited to be going again!!

Well the people who wanted to buy our house donāt wanna offer the amount we are willing to sell it for, so we are staying in our current place. Which is way less stressful, now I just gotta get the nursery in shape!

justinbobby - I'm both sorry it didn't work out (because who doesn't love money) and not sorry because like you said not moving (especially since you weren't trying to sell your house) seems much less stressfull!!

We had an eventful weekend. DD had a chance to try out a free ballet class and watch a ballet performance, we went to the public pool to swim, and even did a drive-in movie! We also finally organized the spare room fully and got rid of all the things that were not baby room friendly, then set up the crib! I had to do it when SO was home because it was up in the attic and we don't have stairs or a ladder to reach.
Feel free to skip. Miserable vent ahead.
Even though that all sounds nice, I am really struggling today. Not really looking for sympathy or anything but just want to get it out. Things have just been so awful with my SO lately and I don't know what to do. I have no place to go and feel trapped and alone. I'd be lying if I told you that I haven't thought about the idea of adoption multiple times through out these 6 months. I constantly feel unworthy of having another child and guilty about everything he will go through. This is something I've struggled with since day one. Maybe it's just with the EDD quickly approaching. I don't know. Counseling was working but then my insurance changed to Medicaid and it's near impossible to get child care for DD for me to go. I'm just having a rough time.

Which is way less stressful, now I just gotta get the nursery in shape! That's kind of annoying after all the prep work you went through to show the house! I'm glad staying put will be easier on you and your family, but when approaching you like they did those people should have been well prepared to pay a heftier price. ETA: Happy nursery planning!

Oh pixiepink24 š I am so sorry. Huge hugs. I feel like pregnancy and baby's first year is a very challenging time for any couple - even if they have a strong relationship. You are a great Mom and of course you are very deserving of another child. We love our children and we all do the best we can to give them all the love and support they need. You will find your way. I'm sorry for the insurance/counseling struggles. It's so unfair in America that the things that can help us are so often just out of reach for one reason or another. Please vent to us any time. I know we can't fix things, but it's helpful just to get our yucky thoughts/feelings out. I'm glad you had such a fun weekend š

pixiepink24 - I'm glad you had a fun weekend, I'm sorry things are feeling so rough right now. You're clearly a great mom and of course you deserve this child! I hope things improve for you guys. It has to be stressful for things to be not great with a baby on the way so like tbirdlove said, we may not be able to fix this for you, but we can certainly be an "ear" to vent to when you need. Sending you lots of hugs.

I know! Thatās exactly what my DH said. You arenāt gonna give us below market value when we arenāt even motivated to move. The good part about prepping to show our house is that (minus the nursery) the honey do list has been completed!

pixiepink24 please vent away. I know when I type things out or tell people what's going on or stressing me out I always feel a million times better, even if I know there is nothing anybody can do to change my situation or make things better.

Induction date is officially set. š¬š¬š¬ I had it in my head most of this pregnancy that I'd be going late like I did with DD so my mind cannot get wrapped around the baby coming early.

I have read a lot about how magnesium can help restless legs (I'm desperately trying to find things that work for me!) So you'll have to let me know how it goes. Restless legs might be my least favorite symptom.

I've been taking Natural Calm which is magnesium and even though I don't have restless legs, it helps with relaxing for me and with my headaches and Charlie horses. It has a fruity flavor and easy to take.

I'm gutted this morning. On top of the already serious issues going on at my house, I overheard SO talking about me to his brother last night. To hear how he views me and the lies he spills to others, killed me. But it really made me realize that he clearly doesn't love me the way I would want someone to love me. I really don't see any coming back from that. I always suspected he was lying to people by the way his friends and family acted towards me but now I really know. Now I just need to figure out how to move on from here.
Thank you all for the thoughts and kind words yesterday.

So, we've totally been dragging our feet in trying to "plan" who will watch DS when I go to deliver baby. My Aunt, who is our main babysitter, just reached out to let me know that she and my Uncle will be there for us to the best of their ability when the time comes. So thankful š

So thankful š We don't really have a solid plan for DD yet. My parents who will probably watch her, are gone every weekend for the next 6 weeks so if I go into labor on a weekend we'll have to find someone else. Thankfully we have enough family close that it shouldn't be an issue.
