I'm going completely insane! I'm crying and screaming and spanking the kids and I kicked my husband out today after telling him that I was going to stab him in the heart for trying to help me! The mood swing rush over me like tsunami waves! I can't help myself at all. I'm completely losing grasp!!!

Please tell me I not the only one going crazy!?!?!?!?!

Awww...

I too have sooo little patience... I've been getting angry with my kids too and I hate it!!

Can you sit in the bath for an hour alone? Maybe go for a walk alone?

I walked alone, with my dogs last night and it was really refreshing...

Just keep thinking... Next month you'll have a empty belly and a beautiful baby taking up your time!!

Keep your head up, you're SO CLOSE!!

Oh mama, I send you love! I have been having a really hard time with my patience the last few days...in spurts. I will be fine for most of the day but then the "wave" comes over me when I feel I need SPACE or have reached my limit. I even spanked my son the other day after I could not take another moment of his blatant punk-assed-ness! And I am not a regular spanker. I then beat myself up mentally about it. A good friend of mine reminded me of the full load I am carrying and I will do the same to you. This too shall pass. Getting space alone is KEY, as others have said. Tonight, I am going to go over to a friend's house right down the road just for an hour to avoid bedtime duties! It's not "alone" time, but even better...time with a good friend and enjoying some freedom before baby comes! Hang in there mama!

Nope, you are most definitely not the only one! I have (in my opinion) a very well behaved 2 1/2 year old. DH golfs on Thursday evenings after work, so I usually enjoy the one on one time with just me and my DS. Well last night, every little thing he did made me want to rip my hair out. He wasn't really being bad, but just a little whiney. I was SO irritated! I wanted to run away and cry. I was SO short-tempered with him, and then he would cry. Then I would either cry because I felt so bad, or get even more irritated. I feel awful thinking about it now, I just started to cry again. I'm SO ready to be done. I remember last time I got like this right at the very end. So I'm hoping this means I'll have the new baby soon. I feel so bad for DH and DS for having to deal with me, but I just have NO patience or tolerance for ANYTHING. ARGH!

No its not just you. I really, really hate the fact that all these big crazy feelings I'm having are just form the hormones. It makes me feel totally out of control and ridiculous! My poor DP, he is trying so, so hard to give me lots of breaks and is being so understanding, but I really do pick a fight with him everyday! I hate it!! I am so sensitive! I also have had no patience with DS - I've put him in front of a video and morning "kid TV" more times than I care to admit. The upshot of this is that DP and DS are getting closer b/c I'm basically a boring mama who only wants to clean and play on the computer , so maybe there is a reason for all this impatience!

I also can't drive anymore - the traffic and red lights make me insane. Today I yelled at this poor old lady today because she wouldn't pull forward in her space. Sigh. I don't remember it being this bad last time.

Me too... I told my 2 year old to shut up yesterday I felt really bad about it, but she was being loud and I was feeling horrible. I haven't yet gotten to let out any steam in DH's direction because he is "sick" which is really pissing me off because it's my turn to be taken care of not his!

No, you are absolutely not the only one. Everything is making me crazy now. My tolerance levels are set at zero and going into the negative numbers. EVERYTHING is irritating me.

Honestly, the only silver lining is that this period reminds me that I truly am a patient mama when I'm normal..... I can actually tell the difference now.

Patience is a rather lost virtue here right now, too. I know what you all mean; I really hate feeling that (this?) way! I snip at one of my kids...and then the guilt eats me up. I suppose it's a good lesson for them on apologies and "mama's not perfect"...but it's still difficult. I find I'm at my worst when my SPD pain is really bad. Makes me wonder how I'll be in labor for my first homebirth? (I always have very intense back labor.) EEEK! If the baby's born during the day, the kids will probably be 'sent' to the basement (their playroom) with my dad just so I don't have to worry about snapping at them...sniff, sniff...

I was just crying because I was really hot I'm ok now. Late pregnancy is just ridiculous. (It is, however, 30 degrees C and super humid, and my a/c is broken, and I know I am spoiled to even have it, but seriously.)
