I’m so excited

I honestly can’t believe I’m turning 23 tomorrow, last year never would’ve had thought that I was gonna celebrate my birthday 16/17 weeks pregnant (one doctor is telling us that I’m in my 16th week but another one is saying that I’m in my 17th week because of how big our baby is in ultrasound) and I get to celebrate it with my amazing fiancé which I’m so excited for 🫀

She’s almost here 💕

Sooooooo just left the doctor’s office and it looks like we’ll be welcoming our little princess in 4 weeks from today scheduled c section. Scared but excited ! 2 weeks earlier than expected is crazyyy but it’s really happening 😮‍💨 .

Pregnant Anxiety

Ever since I became pregnant, I’ve been extremely anxious and somewhat depressed. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel so alone in this pregnancy.

World anxiety

With everything going on in the world right now and seeing the news, does anyone else genuinely worry if the country / world is going to be safe for your child to grow up in? I feel a constant sense of impending doom and anxiety.

Pre birth anxiety

So due to be induced next week with my second. I thought i’d be more chill this time but my nerves are shot…
Its less about the procedure itself but more about other things…
Will my eldest be ok being away from me for that long (only ever spent one night away from me)…
Will my mum be ok caring for him (has health problems and gets easily fatigued)…
How do i keep people from visiting until I feel ready for it, without feeling like I am offending them or making myself sound crackers by going into over explaining (took me a good few weeks with my son and even then i didn’t feel ready for it)

Is anyone else experiencing this feel like I am losing the plot brain going in overdrive 😖😂😂😂

Confession

So we’re really tight on money and will be for the next year per our budget. Anything extra is going to our huge debt. After 1 yr things should loosen up a little.

Recently I’ve been feeling down about my extra weight. I don’t hold it well. Some women can have extra weight and it sits so beautifully on them, accentuating curves. Me? I have a double chin and my belly is so big even though I’m only ~35 lbs overweight! Only a bit of that has gone to my womanly curves. I have Humpty Dumpty genes. 😩 I’ve been wanting to start losing weight but am holding off as my baby girl is still breastfeeding and I have supply issues. I want to have as much as I can for her until she’s ready to stop.

I haven’t bothered with makeup for quite a while as I just didn’t have the time for it. I used to be super into skincare too. Recently I’ve splurged on a basic skincare routine (serum and moisturizer for night and an spf for mornings) and better shampoo/conditioner since the cheap stuff has made my hair so oily… and that has led to a bigger splurge on this nice eyeliner and lip stain. It was on sale at by 2 get one free 🤦‍♀️. I’ve hidden these purchases from my husband because I feel so guilty. I’m normally really good about our budget and might color outside the lines for the kiddos once in a while but justa little and never for myself. I also didn’t need new booties ($33) “for my Halloween costume”. 🫣 probably close to $200 all said and done, which is what we did for their birthdays, a special occasion.

I’m going to stop now and just pretend that I already had most of these things already, but I had to confess since it was weighing on me. It was pretty selfish of me. 🙋🏻‍♀️👺🙅🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️ he’ll probably figure me out eventually. He always does. I’m a terrible liar too. I know this is small fries to some of the issues other moms have but it wasn’t long ago we really didn’t know how we were going to pay for even food; we jumped through hoops to get to where we are now and resolved together to stay frugal for another year until we were in a better position. That’s why I’m so guilty. 😢 😩 probably I’ll end up confessing to him but I don’t have the courage yet.
