Pregnancy Info HOME

I am feeling overwhelmed as well and my pregnancy was planned! :) I feel totally overwhelmed about money (I am no longer working so we are down to 1 salary), we are moving to take care of my father in law who has parkinsons (we are having an "inlaw" suite put onto his house, so at least we will be seperate), I am going back to school online full time in January. I also feel overwhelmed about everything we have to buy, espically since we need almost 2 of everything!

I am right there with you about it all making my head spin. All we can do is when we are feeling overwhelmed is take a deep breath and know that everything will all work out. How do I know it will all work out? Well what are my other choices.....

Its nice to talk to someone else who is feeling completley overwhelmed.

Ugh, I totally understand the overwhelming-ness. Even though we'd been planning the pregnancy, it is still crazy to be so close to the actual event. We had our infant/child CPR class last night, which just brought home the idea of having 2 little people whose lives are in your hands, scary! And as excited as I am to be nearly done with work, I have NO idea how we will manage on just my husband's salary for the next 4-5 months. Plus we've been spending money like it's going out of style, between the crib/rocker/accessories/dining room table set (we desperately needed one, we were eating dinners on the couch before!). Then last week my car started having major problems and we decided to buy a more reliable one for the kids...car payments, ack!

But like you said, ashley, everything will work out in the end, and I'm sure the babies will be a wonderful distraction from our everyday issues. 10 years from now we can look back on our pregnancies and smile on what a confusing, struggling time it was, but what a great gift we got out of it.

Youre both right... its hard not to worry about the furniture, beding, clothes, money... but in the end, we have a baby.. A BABY! Thats a gift...
