I am at the absolute end of my rope

cjsbdl · February 2011

Henry is sick again. Really sick. The pedi and I agree that he probably has RSV again, although we didn't test for it since she said there's really no point--he did test negative for flu. The past three days have been a never-ending vicious cycle of coughing/gagging/vomiting/diarrhea, all over the house and in the crib at all hours of the day and night.

I haven't slept in days. I am beyond exhausted. If I were to go into labor right now I'm pretty sure I'd have to beg for a c-section. There is absolutely no way I could labor and deliver right now.

Please send some thoughts and prayers my way that Henry gets better quickly (right now he still seems to be getting worse instead of improving), and that baby girl will stay put until he does.

Is there anyway you can hire in help to handle him so you can sleep? A few hours a day of straight sleep can change your life. Can your husband take a full day or two off? I get that we're stay at home mom's but sometimes that doesnt' cover all of the bases, the dads need to suck it up, use their vacation/sick time and stay home to help the family (its so hard to ask them to do this when we're not technically sick but just need help).

Oh wow. I am so sorry your little man is so sick - I hope he is feeling much better soon - and I hope baby holds off until that time!

Ugh. You need a break. Is there any way you can get some help? Some healthy healing vibes for you definitely.

I am so sorry your little man is sick and that you are so tired. I know you are exhausted anyway, being at the end of your pregnancy, so I can only imagine how you feel taking care of a sick LO and getting no rest yourself. I agree with the pp--you have to get some help so that you can rest. I hope everyone in your family is feeling better soon.

LisaMarisa · February 2011

Oh you poor thing! Is there anyone that can give you a break for a few hours so you can nap? I know that I would have a hard time napping knowing that someone was taking care of my sick baby but maybe you are tired enough to do it.

I hope he starts feeling better ASAP!!

Oh friend! I am so sorry that things are so rough. Is there any way that your DH or your MIL can help out? I can not imagine how you are functioning, at all. I hope that Henry gets better and stays better!

dana316 · February 2011

Get well soon dust to Henry...that poor kid can't catch a break lately.

Try to rest as much as you can...I know that sounds impossible, but let the dishes wait, the laundry pile up and let your husband deal with all of it that he possibly can. You are way too pregnant to be dealing with this and NOT be at the end of your rope.

(((hugs)))

roaringrock · February 2011

wow! you need some help! do you have anyone who you can call to lend a hand for a day?

hang in there. I hope the little boy is feeling better SOON.

howleyshell · February 2011

Ugh!! I can NOT imagine.

Ditto PP's - is there ANYONE who can help out? You really do need a chance to take care of yourself and catch up on rest.

I hope he's on the mend ASAP and you can find a way to get some rest (Ambien was my friend) before the big day.

SeaSoul · February 2011

Oh no, I am SO sorry...poor Henry! And I can only imagine how you're feeling. I am sending healing vibes his way, and strength for you!

jmkatz · February 2011

Oh no

I am so sorry! I hope your little guy feels better soon and you can get some rest!

cmw&tdm · February 2011

ladychicago · February 2011

Oh honey....I am so sorry. I hope the little man feels better soon and you can get some rest!

emmyloustu · February 2011

(((Hugs)) Hoping Henry feels better very soon. Please take care of yourself and get some rest!!

kme930 · February 2011

I am so sorry. I hope you and he get some sleep soon and your little girl stays put in the meantime!

lovemymonkey · February 2011

That sounds awful!! Saying prayers for healing for Henry!! (((((hugs))))

igh0318 · February 2011

I hope Henry feels better and you can get some rest VERY soon. ((hugs))

armywife76 · February 2011

((hugs)). Hope Henry gets to feeling better soon and you can get some rest. That must be quite a challenge as far along as you are.

charmcitygirl · February 2011

Tie a knot at the end of that rope and hold on for dear life! I do hope that Henry gets better quickly - is there even a babysitter or family member who can take him for a few hours so you can get some sleep? Can DH take him overnight?

Man, I wish I was closer. I would come and take that sicky baby so you can get some rest!

AlissaCell701 · February 2011

I am so sorry. I hope Henry gets well quickly and that you can get some rest and a much needed break.

leslies75 · February 2011

I hope H starts feeling better soon, it sounds like he's just miserable...as do you! I hope things turn around quickly, and I hope some help is on the way too!

preheatedoven · February 2011

I'm sorry your little guy is so sick:( Fingers crossed that your girl stays put!

dundasgirl · February 2011

I am sending you some good healthy vibes to Henry! I hope you can get a break soon.

Carrie25 · February 2011

Oh man, I'm so sorry. You just can't seem to catch a break. I hope and pray he gets better soon, you can sleep before baby girl arrives.

kristinamh6 · February 2011

Ugh, again? You just have the worst luck with sickness lately. I'm so sorry and I agree that you need help. You are 9 months pregnant, and need to save your energy for what's to come! I hope your husband or some family or friends can help. Don't be afraid to ask. I hope Henry feels better soon. Poor little guy! Sad

epphd · February 2011

Oh no - I'm so sorry

I hope that you are sleeping right now!! Healing vibes coming your way!

perry7285 · February 2011

i'm so sorry--this sounds absolutely awful. are there any friends or family that can help you so that you and your baby girl can get some rest?

FaithRocks · February 2011

Oh my gosh I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this. I remember how hard it was at the end of my pregnancy with Grayson having Trig, I can't imagine how hard it is for you. Hugs!
