Default Juggling Work. New Baby. Other children and husband

I am having a breakdown from juggling work, a new baby on the way, my other 2 children and of course my husband. I just wish they were a little more self sufficient. I feel like they would fall apart if I was not around!

Congrats on #3! You must be very excited!

As well as tired. Needing some sleep.

Something has to give. So that you and baby stay healthy.
What is it going to be?

Have a high school girl come after school to watch your older 2, so you can put your feet up after work?

Or have her help tidy the house
or cook supper?


Right now you are taking care of 2 children and one DH child = 3.
When you deliver, then, you'll have 4 children to take care of.


DH needs to pull a little more weight in helping
w/ the older 2 and the house.

Wishing you all the best.

Stop doing stuff. Mommy's tired.

I don;'t mean all stuff, just the stuff you know that they can and should do.

Wow... that sounds pretty tough. Just take things one step at a time and take care of yourself! I don't know about you, but I'm very pro using childcare. It really gives you the much needed time that you need for to take care of yourself. If you need one, check out http://www.myjambi.com/ there are a ton of babysitters there and you can find out aspects about their schedules and personalities before you even get in contact with them.
