Surviving. The terrible twos, pregnancy, and the stress of living so far from family is really killing me.
-
Surviving. Dd is at the clingy stage and only wants me and she is not sleeping through the full night.
-
Barely surviving. Let's just say I cried myself to sleep last night.
-
I'm not quite sure how to define both, but I'd say unless I'm having a bad pregnancy day or DH is having a particularly stressful week, I'd say we're thriving. Things are pretty good.
-
@Dandelion: *hug*
I would say we're somewhere in between surviving and thriving. We're definitely past surviving now, but it's still hard to keep on top of everything, so we're not thriving either.
-
@Ree723: No, thank you! That makes perfect sense.
Then, if I kinda go by how you answered, I'm in between surviving and thriving. Soon though it might change with a new baby. lol
-
Baby isn't here yet, but right now I'd say thriving. We're settled in our (new!) house, couldn't be happier with DH, and pregnancy has gone fabulously so far! I think DH and I are exactly where we want to be (granted, there's ALWAYS "stuff" to work on--wouldn't mind having the student loans paid off, wish we had another car, etc., but all in all, it's great!)!
-
I think thriving! DD and I are finally in a really great routine and I love this time after the 1st year. DH and I haven't been better either!
-
Surviving. Some days are better than others but most of the time, I'm just surviving. The only time I feel myself thriving is when I've managed to get them both down for a nap and I can clean!
-
@Dandelion: This makes me so happy.
We are slowing moving out of surviving mode. I think by the end of the summer thriving.
-
@hergreenapples: I cried while getting R to sleep last night. After almost an hour and half I was over it. I think she understood Mom was done and finally went to sleep. Hugs!!
-
I guess I have to say thriving, but of course that will change once LO arrives. I've had a very enjoyable pregnancy so far and haven't missed out on any planned trips or activities. I've also had a lot of support from friends, family and coworkers and feel like I'm growing through this experience.
-
not thriving yet. The only problem is I haven't figured out yet what it will take to feel like I am thriving.
-
@Smurfette: Hugs for you as well! How old is R now? Is it normally tricky getting her to sleep or wax last night just a bad night? I definitely find the evenings to be the toughest...I'm just spent by then.
Glad to hear you see a light at the end if the tunnel though!
-
@hergreenapples: She is 14 weeks. It is such a battle we started nursing to sleep but even that takes forever some nights. 45 mins is a great night.
-
I think I'm mainly thriving as a mother and at my job. Definitely in survival mode in my marriage
-
I think we are still in survival mode.
-
We're thriving as a family--life is good. Very thankful!
-
I think that most days we are thriving. DH and I can laugh together at the end of the day so I call that a win.
-
Thriving, all thanks to DH who is so incredible and selfless when it comes to work, LO, sleep and household stuff!
-
Compared to the newborn days - thriving big time! On a day to day basis, I would say I'm thriving, but some days run very close to just surviving.
Our marriage and partnership feels stronger every day, and I feel like I can do this (instead of PPD, feeling so much doubt), and I know DH always has our backs, no matter what, which helps tremendously.
-
Surviving. I'm not sure what it will take to feel like I'm thriving again. Maybe working? Losing lb's? One of the two so I can boost my self-esteem!
-
Just went to survival mode.
-
Definitely surviving. Living day to day and days are just zooming by.
-
Thriving- no big complaints.
-
Thriving overall. Just surviving pregnancy though.
-
Most days, I feel like I am barely surviving. It's been a really tough few months and I while I am so happy in many respects, I'm struggling a lot too.
-
@rsp213: I hear ya. I feel that way many days. Who knew how hard it would be to maintain a healthy relationship while pouring all my energy into the baby and work. It's a hard balancing act most days and I often feel like I am on the losing end.
