I need a hug

[damyen's mommy]

I am so so so so very sick of all the cramping. I am grouchy, my back hurts and I keep trying to pick fights with everyone.My ds is getting his two year old molars my husband is grouchy from being in pain from his optic nueritis and I have had it with everyone. I just want to sit somewhere in a big soft blanket and sob until I can't sob anymore. My hubby is trying but I know we are getting to him (ds & me). AAAAHHHH.... Ok so I just needed a little vent. I still feel awful, but at least now I have told someone who may listen.

[afishwithabike]

I'm listening. I understand. Good luck. Sending (((((hugs)))))

*hugs* mama! Dd is getting her canines all at once it seems and has been quite a challenge the last few days. Hope you can find some quiet moments here and there to nurture yourself in the days ahead!

Aww sweetie I feel your pain. I've been a grade A, top notch, first class, BIT** lately and dealing with a cranky 2 yo, a tempermental 4 yo and a mouthy 11 yo isn't helping. When I really start feeling bad, I lock myself in my room and I cry, long and loud! I almost always feel 100% better afterward and the cycle begins anew. We're almost done, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we should be seeing a glimmer of it by now - hang in there mama

to you! Sounds like everyone in your house is having a hard time physically and probably emotionally too. That must be hard with everyone needing a little TLC and no one really able to give it fully. Is there someone that could help out with ds for a little bit and give you and dh a break to at least only have yourselves to take care of? Hang in there, dh will recover, ds will get his molars in, and you will have the baby, then everyone will feel much better! In the mean time feel free to vent as much as you need!

Oh, mama, HUGS to you.

Why not get that blanket out and have a good cry if you want to? There's no rule that says you have to be the strong one all the time. Tears can be so therapeutic, and IMO it can be good for other family members to see that you're at the end of your rope and need TLC as much or more than anyone else (or anyway, MY family members sometimes forget that THEY aren't the center of the universe).

How about a warm bath, preferably with the door locked and a couple candles lit? With so little time before our babies come, and so much physical and emotional strain, we darn sure deserve treats like that!

Take care.

Big hugs momma. And sending up a prayer for you and your DH.

[damyen's mommy]

Thank you everyone for you kind thoughts and words. A bath and some downtime for all of us sounds nice. thank you for the much needed boost and the hugs...

Awww...I was just telling someone tonight how much more magical the first pregnancy was for me than this one. I mean, being pregnant is pretty cool, but trying to be upbeat about it and deal with a toddler at the same time is so *wearing*. I think if I let myself admit it, I'd be wanting a good cry right now too. Instead, I've been taking it out on my husband in more, ahem, fun ways.

Still, big hugs, and we'll get through these last few weeks somehow. I just can't wait for a day or two of relative peace in the hospital while the in-laws watch the toddler and I can bond with my new baby.

[Boobiemama]

Big hugs!!! I am there too, a grumpy you know what and I have had it with everyone.. As I am sure they've had it with me.. LOL
Hang in there!

[5xmom]

Hugs to you - hang in there - it's almost time!

Yes, the light of the tunnel, it will soon come, I am waiting! With a 3 yr., 1 yr., and a 11 yr. old here really testing my patience! I cry, as I feel that I have no time to relax. My husband is acting really weird towards me, and is giving me the cold shoulder, and is never home, adn is working more hours now, because he chooses to, not because he has to with our business. So I have been getting very upset with him, that he is ignoring me. I feel abandoned right at this point when I feel I need him the most. I have no friends around, and no family except my father really who also works alot, but tries to keep in contact when he can.

Waaaaaaaa......Ok, got my vent in. Thanks for listening.

Awww... (((hugs))), hankies and the comfort food choice to all of us mamas.It is so hard in these last couple of weeks to be even close to non grouch and it must rub off on those close to us too.Especially our littles, they know something is going to change and soon and they have no power to stop it.
Cry, it feels so good, if you have to watch a sappy movie and blame it on that.
I swear I feel like that commercial for coffe creamer where the lady slams the door on the girl scout and the paper boy gets sprayed with the water hose.I actually locked my cat out of the bathroom so that I could pee alone and my poor dog has not had any cuddles from me in a month ( alothugh thats cuz the constant rains have made her smelly and I can't bend enough to give her a bath).

[mraven721]

I can totally related! So to you!! My DS is also getting his molars right now and is grumpy and I'm sure that some of my grumpiness is rubbing off on him. This morning I sat on the kitchen step and cried for 10 minutes. I didn't want to make breakfast, I was starving, I didn't want to leave the house, I'm tired to being pregnant. So DH got up, made breakfast, and helped me get out the door. We got to McD's (so DS could actually play for a minute) and he crawled up to the top, and cried, paralyzed in fear. So, I (9M pregnant) had to crawl up there and sooth him and get down It was so sad. We came home, snuggled, nursed, and both feel asleep for 2 hours. I guess we were both tired.

So, like I said tons of to you I can completely understand
