Need to relieve stress

chelleski578 · February 2014

So, my family and I just moved to North Dakota. But I'm 36 week trying to " help" unpack stuff. ( not lifting things heavy) but I feel like I'm racing the clock. Because when baby comes I can't be still unpacking. But life waits for no one on top of unpacking we still have our daughter to take care of. Need a way the release stress so I can focus!

Sigh not been in mood for that. Last time we did wasn't all that comfortable for me. Lately been hard enough getting comfortable enough to sleep. Not to sound negative but hard to feel " sexy" when you feel like I pop belly pig. ( yes, I know it just being pregnant and I probably will feel better after baby is born)

Hmm chocolate haven't had any in a while! Been trying to be extra careful of sweet intake had developed " preg diabetes" Christmas sweet overload. Lol but I've been good maybe small piece might help.

Can hubby take DD out for a few hours and give you some time?

Also a long shower does wonders.

And cake- it cures all ! See pic below and smile ; )

Hubby, been great poor guy done most the unpacking but he's also been bread maker for the home. Don't mind being mom in fact I love it! Just didn't realize the move would be more stressful on me then what it has. Sorry though normally sweets would be right up my ally. Doesn't taste right since I've been pregnant and not cared for it much. Unless it is like apples or bananas.

Walk does sound nice been extremely cold to even think about going outside -degrees but forecast supposed to warm up to 21 degrees for North Dakota that is a warm front.

I feel like i don't know you well enough to give proper advice..

chelleski578 · February 2014

No, I like your suggestion and might try a few. My comments are me thinking out loud. Hubby wanting to do the grocery shopping maybe I can convince him to take our daughter so momma can take a long shower in peace. Only problem with living here is main city is 14 miles. And though it would be nice to have spa day or something. I've not lived her long enough to really know where is a good relaxing spot.

Ok and thank you. Think majority of my stress will fade as time passes. Just has a lot of built up anxiety cause I know baby due. And though my house is getting " put together" ( maybe little slower then originally thought) but not anyone's fault. Baby takes a lot of energy out of me. Didn't recall being so tired with my daughter. Just taking while to get used to all the big changes in my life. Only person I have to rely on is my husband and myself. But I feel we both are handling thing ( at our own speed). Guess my biggest reality has been I'm not as much of a Wonder Woman as I thought I was. The days I have energy ( or little more then normal) I try to push myself. Maybe I've been pushing myself too hard trying to get everything done in such a short amount of time. Maybe I should learn to just be ok if my house isn't quiet perfect. It not like it disappear after baby is born.

If you read this in a forest gump voice it's hilarious.

I try to be honest even if it is with myself. If you can't be honest with yourself then who are you honest with? ( no need to answer) just voicing opinion.

This gave me the sads. I want to drunk FB!

Or drunk text... Or drunk bar hop... Hell, I'd even go for some drunk snapchatting.

chelleski578 · February 2014

No I am not drunk, maybe tired from being awake since 4 am.

I'd be totally happy drunk-sitting on my couch not doing a damn thing....other than telling my bottle of wine how much I missed him and promising not to leave again! This post and the other one are very strangely written. Ii start to type an answer then stop and am like 'does she want a response...was there actually a question?'

chelleski578 · February 2014

Somer, uh you're welcome! Though am truly sorry I am boring. Though you

are quit amusing. Not everyday I get made fun of because I type like forest gump. Hmm guess forest wasn't so dumb after all according to the movie he was rich. Oddly enough my oldest daughter name is Jenny. Hmm might have coincidence. Lol

I need to learn how to put gifs up from the iphone...

SurpriseAt39 · February 2014

Sex, masturbate, yell, scream, punch pillows, go for a drive, bath, shower, exercise, talk to a friend, massage, shop, ... Do them all, some, one, or none.

Depends how stressed I was, may adjust which options I choose.

OP, learn to write English. I feel stupid just trying to read your posts.

I heard that getting off the internet and unpacking is the best form of stress relief. You should do that.

AKPuffin · February 2014

Mid-pregnancy I moved across the Atlantic Ocean, to another country where English isn't spoken and I can understand the folks here better than your dear diary posts. Best way to get rid of stress from unpacking? Get off the internets and do some actual unpacking!

clo1982 · February 2014

It's snowing outside. I hope I don't fall. Wonder if falling is really harmful to the baby? I had peanuts last night. Made me swell up. Hopefully it won't cause a peanut allergy. Dd doesn't have one. That would suck if this one did. Lots to think about. Thanks.
