Not ready

I’m not ready for him to be two. He’s my baby. I got this third chance (16 years between him and his closest sibling) and I’ve had to deal with PPD, being the sole support for our family, hubby’s health, and everything else and I feel like the first two years went so fast that i didn’t get to soak it in.
Just feeling sorry for myself tonight I guess.

I had my daughter 3 months ago and my son will turn 2 next month . I realized I started calling her the baby and him just my boy instead of my baby without even realizing it 😭 sobbed in my room over it just a few days ago . He’s so grown and smart and of course I’m so wildly proud of him and proud to know him and call him my big boy toddler but I’m also super not ready ❤️‍🩹
My parter wants to be done with kids he has 5 . I have 2 of my own with him . I know I am not done though , I would start over later in life aswell . I’ll always miss being a baby mom , toddlers and kids and teenagers adults , I’ll love all the phases but I know I’ll miss being here in these moments forever . I can’t hold on tight enough and even if I don’t look away time keeps going on

I’m 40 and I needed IVF to have my 23-month old and also developed a heart condition from the pregnancy so it’s only ever going to be the one. I know how it feels with time slipping by so fast, it breaks my heart so much. And because I’m older it’s another thing. They say you blink and it’s over so it makes it extremely difficult to cherish these moments. All I can think of is how they’ll be gone. I’ll never have this chance again. And then I think about how when it’s over I don’t have anything else to live for. I think of myself on my deathbed and how I’ll be afraid to die and how the only moments that mattered were these years right now as a mother. I don’t know what life is when it’s all going to go away, like what’s the point? I probably need to get help for this 😅

Stressed

For whatever stupid reason we have decided that putting our house on the market and looking for a bigger place during the 3rd trimester is a great idea.. also switching my toddlers nursery so i am surviving by the day with estate agents, house viewings, paperwork, midwife appointments, settling in sessions at nursery, all while working full time.. i almost forget i also have a whole baby to buy and prepare for simultaneously too😅

Anyone else super stressed right now and can make me feel less alone?😂

10/7 baby became 9/14

Ms Harper couldn’t wait anymore. Due to hypertension we did a repeat c section early at 36 weeks 5 days. 5lbs 12oz and 18inches. Our lungs weren’t fully developed so we are in the NICU on a c pap. But we’re progressing every day! So hoping and praying by next week if not sooner we can go home 💗

Advice for two under two!

I will become a mom to 2 under 2 in March and I’m very scared! Does anyone have any advice? Our first had really bad colic for months and I’m praying our second won’t 😅

Glucose test

Did anyone fail the one hour test but pass the three hour?? I failed mine and so scared I'll fail the 3 hour. I try so hard to limit my sugar intake, even my husband thought I was being strict. But I failed a 130 with a 158. 😭😭
