I am so stressed right now--Calgon take me away!!!!!!

So I'm 5 wks pregnant---still haven't told my parents since it's early (u/s is in 2 wks and will tell them after that).  I'm elated--and want to share the news, but side with caution. 

In the meantime, my dad has fallen ill and has been in the hospital since Saturday---each day they say he'll go home and then something happens and he can't.  He's so depressed there and not sleeping.  He comes to find out he has cellulitis and they think it may have gone to the BONE.  On top of that, he already had heart failure--so one more thing isn't making this better.

My mom is so stressed and so she's giving me updates.  But I can read between the lines.  And it's not sounding great. 

Then my job is just an endless array of stress--- and now they are screwing me even more. 

I'm just a mess--and get on and off again cramping--and keep fighting back tears amongst my sleep deprived head.  My back has been hurting so my sleeping sucks.  And my DS has been fighting something as well--so that's not making things easier.  The house is a wreck--and we have Early Intervention coming tomorrow.  Ugh. 

Oh--and I forgot my lunch and the restaurants around here suck. Plus I'm just too emotional to eat yet I'm starving. 

Calgon.....take me away!!!!!!!  Sorry--had to vent.

I realize you are wanting to wait... we are too! BUT, maybe telling just your parents would actually help them pull through this mentally. You know, give them something to fight for?

 

Good luck getting through the day!

You know--I thought of that the other day---but do you think mixing all of these emotions might make it worse???  Not sure.  Trying to think if I was dealing with something serious and someone came to me with something awesome---how would I feel--and it would be mixed.  Happy but then scared.  I'm so confused.

Take me with you, along with the endless stress that Im going threw I now that it cant amount to the stress you are going threw with your dad. My prayers are with you.

You know, it is definately a tough call.

 I think with my parents (and everyone is different) if I was to tell them, "IM PREGNANT! So I really need you to stay strong and get out of this hospital." it would push them to try as best they can and for those dealing with the stress it might give her something happy to think about...

 Of course, do what is best for you too! If you dont want all that pressure right now then hold out.

 I hope the day is getting better.
