LO has been sick and I have been so tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-314206 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:03:36 +0000 purrpletulips 314206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feeling so so. DS and I are still struggling with breastfeeding and although I have a pretty good idea of the cause I need to get DH on board with checking into an expert opinion and possible solution. Also struggling with the fact that DH and I have different parenting styles which for DD we were able to compromise, compromise doesn't seem to be happening this time around (I think biggest difference was that with DD, DH didn't really express his thoughts until she was about 5 weeks old but with DS he wants to start implementing the same ideas at 2 weeks without consideration of developmental differences in their ages and just in the babies themselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-314168 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:57:19 +0000 travelgirl1 314168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had a really crappy month... DH just lost his job, which affects our immigration status in Canada and we have no idea what will happen when baby comes in November. That said, pregnancy has totally chilled me out and I'm so proud of how we're handling all this uncertainty and pulling together at a little family so yeah, I'm good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-314083 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:38:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 314083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More and more each day, I want to quit my stressful, demanding job and make babies. Obviously I've had a persistent case of baby fever for some time (or why else would I be here?) but I feel the urge to just change everything. Yet, I have to remind myself that life will not be perfect if that were to happen - just different stresses. Anyway, that's where my head's out. That felt good. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313927 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:02:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 313927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: whaaaaat?!?! that sounds sick. I am so jealous. I want your life ;)</p> <p>ummm honestly not that great :(</p> <p>Highs: We are moving on Monday. I have mixed feelings. The place is smaller, 1 bathroom and 2 bedrooms as opposed to 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms here. It's 500 sq ft smaller, but one level. It also has wood flooring in the kitchen and dining so that's a plus. A lot less storage though... and for a couple hundred more a month which totally sucks but oh well.</p> <p>Lows: just been feeling so down about my life. I feel really unfulfilled and like my life is totally meaningless. I have been doing a little better than the past few months, but it's still hard. I don't know why I don't feel fulfilled as a mom, but for some reason it's just not enough for me and I wish it was. I really want to work and have that time to miss my son and be me, live my life - but I have no job opportunities at all and I'm not qualified enough for positions that could pay for childcare. </p> <p>On top of that my current nanny mom has had "talks" with me the last several weeks... none of them bad per se, but I'm getting the feeling it's the start of a phase out. She thinks I have potential and a call for something greater than nannying... and I do agree, but she really wants me to pursue whatever I feel I should do. It's great that she's supportive but this is the 3rd conversation she's had in the past month along those lines and it's stressing me out!! aghh.</p> <p>alright vent over :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313923 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:00:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 313923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I was wondering where you've been!@ms.janedoe: that sounds like a bad break up. Yuck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313922 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 18:59:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 313922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing good. My husband and I decided to start IUI and I'm really at peace with the decision. I look forward to peeing on my OPK every morning, which is weird. Once the insemination takes place and I'm in the tww I'll be a bundle of nerves, so I'm enjoying being relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313911 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 18:55:09 +0000 boiledpnut 313911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Dang, I wanna move where you are!</p> <p>As for this week, I've been better. MIL left Monday. We got into a huge fight about boundaries after she left. I'm having mini freak out sessions periodically. I think it'll get better once I actually get some sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313824 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 18:36:53 +0000 chopsuey 313824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Bigger place, ONE floor (as opposed to the 3 we currently have), BRAND SPANKIN NEW (we'll be the first to live in the unit), dark hard wood floors, new appliances, concierge service, free grocery delivery, state of the art gym, pool, meeting rooms, party rooms, movie theatre...!!) :D excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313579 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 16:16:38 +0000 Mrs. Train 313579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm ok.

There's just a lot to adjust to at the Blue House, and it hits me in waves. This week has been an extra wavy week, and I may or may not have sobbed until I got snuffly two nights this week. :-/ But, I have to fly for a work deal tomorrow and as a result get to spend the weekend with one of my very besties and go to the Texas State Fair. Friends and ridic fried foods always lift my spirits! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313550 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 16:08:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 313550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: ooh moving!! do tell...!!! bigger place? more space for baby #2? :) I'm so jealous, I'm dying to move!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313547 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 16:08:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 313547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>eh just haven't been able to get back into my groove since coming back from the philippines. that's why i'm missing on instagram lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313510 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:51:33 +0000 MsMamaBear 313510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not good. Just out it with stress. My sister came over and used the bathroom and saw the faucet was still going. God knows when I had turned it on, maybe an hour earlier? I hate stress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313472 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:41:59 +0000 Turd Ferguson 313472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doin' OK, my man's up north for a "bachelor party" (fishing, hunting, drinking--nothing too fancy!), then out of town for 2.5-3 weeks, we're exactly a month away from the wedding, and then I just found out my sister's boyfriend of three years just broke up with her. :( SO sad for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313446 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:32:28 +0000 littlek 313446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: good luck!

Have some family stuff we have been trying to resolve for over a year. Last night we were trying to see if we could get things going in a better direction and it just didn't go great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313387 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:06:45 +0000 T.H.O.U. 313387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had a sick LO this week which is no fun! My husband is off this weekend though so we are looking for a fun activity we can do together as a family (for free). Any suggestions to help us reconnect? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313364 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:56:20 +0000 pinkcupcake 313364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little overwhelmed this week b/c of family stuff... ugh.

I am a nut job actually....I refuse to get a car wash *today* because I want my DH to get it done while me and baby are in the hospital so we can ride home in style.<br /> I'd say mentally healthy right now is a "NO" but it will all be over with when I have my baby in my arms:) Then, NOTHING on earth will matter :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313311 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:31:42 +0000 DillonLion 313311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Mmm Sonic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313307 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:30:41 +0000 mrsjyw 313307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good! Working from home today and tom.... trying to get a checklist together for these next few weeks. It's slowly allll getting finished. </p> <p>Right now, I'm super full from downing a meal from Sonic. AND a cream slushy. </p> <p>Mentally? My mind is FILLED with TODOs and Nesting for baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313305 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:29:26 +0000 chopsuey 313305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm good. DH is traveling all this week, he's home Saturday and sun and off again. Rough 2 weeks especially since we're moving on oct 8! Luckily we live simply so we don't have too much crap to move :) but I've been packing every chance I get.</p> <p>Lo woke up congested and I've got a runny nose too</p> <p>No complaints though. Just wish my baby wasnt congested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313275 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:16:17 +0000 DillonLion 313275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rough week over here! Have a cold, feeling super large, uncomfortable, in pain, and had a preterm labor scare earlier in the week at 31 weeks but everything was fine. But I'm really emotionally wiped out from everything combined together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313273 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:15:49 +0000 loveisstrange 313273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm.... well, I've been better. DH has been away on business for the past 2 weeks so it's been just C and I. She's going through her 6 month growth spurt and has decided she needs to be swaddle-weaned, so sleep has been a major issue since he left. I've basically been a crabby zombie for the past 2 weeks.</p> <p>I'm just ready for it to be Saturday afternoon and for him to be home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313271 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:13:35 +0000 Running Elley 313271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm feeling anxious, tired and ready for this week to be over! Tomorrow is my last day before leave and this week has just been dragging. I have no energy and I'm ready for this baby to be here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-a-mental-health-thread-how-are-you#post-313254 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:05:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 313254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am at home with Lil Miss Wagon for three days this week. My mom went home so Wagon Sr. was home the first two days, and I'm home for the rest of the week. Today is day 2, and it's been going really well today. Definitely directly tied to LMW's sleep because yesterday she took four short naps (two of them being only 30 min) and today she's in the middle of her second 3+ hour nap. Yesterday by bedtime I was seriously ready to kill someone, and LMW was NOT going down. Luckily Wagon Sr. finished putting Wagon Jr. to bed and took over, and by the time LMW was down several hours later, I was feeling fine again. </p> <p>Today I have been able to smile and enjoy being at home with my baby girl :) Strangely enough, however, I had one of those bathroom-induced loud voices in my head panic attacks (I know there's at least two of you out there that get them too, @nskillet and @ms. lipgloss I think??). So strange that I had it today and not yesterday. SO annoying. As always, it went away with time and I've been ok since.</p> <p>How are you feeling?? </p>
