"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

- Matthew 11:28-30

How long before your baby is due ?
Getting near to the due date, especially when you already have one child, can be overwhelming all by itself - could that be a factor ?
He is due in November. And yes, that was a really bad mood swing. Thankfully I didn't panic.

I don't even know what to say to describe what the issue is. Long term stress? but Its just waves of all kinds of bad emotions. Not sure what to make of it all. Going through something, just need prayer.

It is hormones and gollllleee this 24-7 responsibility for another human being…sure isn’t like having a puppy to care for.
Not trying to be crass…it IS overwhelming, very trying, very tiring…

Don’t know your circumstances…but maybe a possibility to have your mom, your mom-in law, a young teen niece, to come regularly for a few hours every week, and give you some no-responsibility time…?? To bath soak, read a magazine, to nap, to have lunch with a friend, to shop in an antique store, visit with strangers, spa/massage day…

We had 3 of our own 24-7 and a niece 5 days a week 9 hours minimum … all 4 years and under… and we are still ‘not bald’ from tearing our hair out. Ha! Let the eldest be “mommy’s helper”…even toddlers can be helpful AND LIKE the “title” the praise, acknowledgement and responsibility. Hugs and A penny bank helps too…the kids would open their banks to spend on Christmas gifts.
Laugh…it will get better..

Thinking of you…Praying for you and yours.

God Bless you,
