Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Any pregnant ladies out there have "WTF did I do?" moments?

We wanted to get pregnant and while I'm happy, I have this feeling of OMG, what did we get ourselves into at times (ok, some days a lot). 

With ds being sick all winter long, having horrible sleep and work draining me, I can't help but wonder how things are going to be.

  • every day. I just wonder why we decided to make our life so much more difficult!

    But, I am sure it will all work out in the end.

  • I think everyone has these moments at one point or another, but I think you just have to stop yourself and realize there is nothing you can do about it now. Heehee.
  • Yes.  Usually when DS is having a meltdown, the house is trashed, and I haven't eaten since morning ... those times, I think 'WTMF am I doing?'

    Too late now.  ::eek::

  • I always go back to this: We're getting it out of the way all at once.  We aren't waiting 5 years and starting over. 

    This helps DH and I get through those moments.  But, honestly, I feel as though I haven't had time to get freaked out.

  • hahha daily hourly :) don't get me wrong i LOVE them!
  • I constantly worry about it. But I know it will work out. I mean, it has to. I have no choice, haha.

  • Oh dear, I could have written this! Every day I wonder why in the world we did this and HOW I could have ever missed being pregnant because I absolutely hate every second of this 24.hr nausea!

    Hope it gets better for us both :) It will all work out in the end, I know it and we will forget we ever felt like this!

    Ha!  Then there's those of us who are doing both!!  "Getting it out of the way" and then starting over in 4 years to do the whole thing (2u2) all over again... WTF am I thinking??

  • At least once a day I think this :/
  • Sure do. Especially on days like today when DD is a whining, crying, clingy monster who won't nap or play or let me pee-- I wonder why in the world I thought two whining, crying, clinging monsters would be even more fun than one!

  • I still have those moments.  I doubt they'll go away for good anytime soon. 

    BUT, the good days outnumber the bad days.  You'll pull through just fine! Smile

  • The whole house has been passing colds/sinus infections around to one another for 2+ weeks.  We can't seem to get healthy.  DS  isn't sleeping well becase he's so congested.  We've been to the pedi 4 times in 2 weeks and spent well over $200 between visits and meds.  I just keep thinking "Oh crap, next year, I will have two kids passing this crap back and forth, up all night and going to the pedi and needing antibiotics and prescription diaper rash cream"

  • It comes and goes. I know a lot will change, but I just keep telling myself that we'll adjust fine.
  • sometimes yes. Especially since I am a full-time working mom and have zero energy left as it is. However, this pregnancy took us by surprise in such a joyous way and we know its meant to be. Now, I look forward to DD helping me out a little bit with DC#2 and the fun they will have together - instead of having me and DH be the sole entertainers. It will be awesome!

  • Yup. Especially when I have a rough night and don't sleep well b/c I'm uncomfortable, and I'm dragging the next day with DD -- and then I think, "OMG, this is going to be so much worse with a newborn. WTH were we thinking??!?!"

    And then I wonder if I'll secretly always love DD1 best, and wonder how I'm going to keep my sanity being a SAHM to two, whether I'll ever get a minute to myself, how much more complicated getting out of the house is going to be with a toddler and infant ... 

    Yeah, I just try not to think about those things too much. I figure, there's no going back now, so we'll figure it out, right? ;)

    This. I want to be through the baby stage. I love it, but I love 12-18 months so much more. Not wishing time away, but I would rather be younger during the tough times.

  • I've freaked out a few times during this pregnancy which is weird because I didn't freak out once when I was pregnant with Michael.
