Feeling So Guilty....

Ok ladies I just need a little pick me up...I know that things are gonna be hectic soon. But right now my guilt lies with the fact that DS wants me to walk around with him and go up and down from floor to walking. ( He can't fully walk on his own yet..still a little wobbly and we have tile floors through out the house) So I get tired a lot quicker now a days..plus I have major lower back pain. I can't play like he wants for long periods of time...and then I put him down and I just feel guilty that I am not taking advantage of the one on one time with him. Ugh I just needed to let it all out. Thanks for the listening ears ladies

Try not to be so hard on yourself.    I know it's hard to be in the last few weeks of pregnancy, where everything hurts, aches and you just don't have energy to do much.  To be honest, I felt like I was much more able to play with DD once DS was born.  I felt like she got her momma back because I didn't have a huge belly to swing around everywhere.  Once your new LO is here, you'll find you can do things with your DS more easily, especially in the first few weeks when all the baby wants to do is sleep and eat.

Keep your chin up!

I'm feeling the same way, we planned this pregnancy and in the beginning I had such a hard time feeling guilty wondering if we made the right decision since I know a 2nd child will take my attention away from #1 and he wont' understand, and I can't chase him around too much right now which he always wants to play chase but I get exhausted pretty quick and feel awful.   Whats going to really suck is that I'll be having a C/S so I won't be able to hold ds for a couple of weeks and thats really really tearing me up, especially since I'm a SAHM so he's use to having me around all the time and always holding him when he wants it etc.
