I feel ya. I have a zoo at my house. 4 cats, 4 dogs plus chickens....etc.... Some of my dogs have been different, one of my cats has been SOOOOOOOooo naughty. I just think they can sense something is up with "mommy" and are acting out. I have been super stressed and had some really short tempered moments towards DH. I feel aweful about it too. So much is changing in your life right now. Dont beat yourself up about it. Take it one day at a time. Its good at least you realize it...you know its not "you" and your body is just going through so much right now. Take time out for just you, or go do something relaxing or romantic with DH.<br /> For me thats what I have beeen trying to do, or just being happy that I have time with DH right now. I felt so guily for being so cranky because my DH leaves for Afghanistan 3 weeks after my due date and will be gone for 1.5yrs. So I keep trying to find things to be thankful for and Happy about....but its not always possible and sometimes you need to just vent and let it all out.

I've been snapping at DH over stupid stuff. Our pets are driving me nuts (one cat has been especially bad lately though). I'm anxious about the baby coming soon. I"m already stressing out about when MIL is coming to visit and it's 2 months away. I just feel out of control. What did you ladies to do help with stress and anxiety towards the end? I take Zoloft now and that helps a little bit, but something's got to give. </p>
