down and out......(vent kinda long)

wmthorpe0815 · February 2010

Last night I slept on the couch as always. But I was having a horrible tooth ache, heart burn, and of course i couldnt get comfortable. Finally fell asleep at 130 but woke up to a screaming 2 year old at 5 and my tooth ache coming back. I was so tired and I couldnt fall asleep cause the pain was unbearable. Took tylenol Pm but it only helped for a little bit. Finally fell back asleep but it was on and off all night. Im pretty sure Im going on 5 hours of sleep. My husband comes out of the bedroom and starts complaining about how a dish wasnt rinsed well enough when put into the dish washer so now all the other dishes are dirty. I keep telling him I didnt want to hear it and to just fix it. He keeps going on and on so I start crying. I watch him get ready for work and Im just sitting on the couch crying. Finally I get up to say goodbye and I break down and tell him Im tired the tooth pain is unbearable and I cant even control my acid reflux anymore. He says hes sorry. I tell him I dont want him to do things around the house I will do them. I know how he is he will do them but he will complain the entire time. So I am praying hard that #1 I really hope the doctor says there is progress tomorrow cause Im done being pregnant. I know I have a little over 4 weeks left til my EDD but I need some encouragment it will make me feel better #2 My son takes a nap today so I can take one I can barely hold my eyes open #3 and last that my husband is okay with the fact that when he comes home from work he is cooking dinner and I am going straight to bed so I can wake up on the right side of the couch tomorrow. If you read this god bless you. I just needed to get it out I feel much better just putting it all down

Um, I'm glad you feel better after venting, but why isn't your husband doing the house chores? If you have a toothache and are pregnant and exhausted then he should take over some of that stuff. Maybe he can sleep on the couch and you can have an early night in the bedroom while he puts your 5yr old to sleep. Good Luck!!! I hope you feel better soon!

Oh hunny, I have days like this too and its not easy with a toddler at home!! Let the house go as much as you can today, and keep DS pacified with his fav cartoons and snack, coloring..puzzles... My entire weekend consisted of this LOL...take an over the counter acid reducer, I used wal-mart brand and my doc said it was OK, but prescibed me nexium, prilosec OTC is also safe!!! Orajel for the toothache!! ((hugs)) hope you get sleep!!
