Anyone else LOSING their €#^*?

I'm usually cool, calm, and completely emotionless...USUALLY.

I'm getting irritated every day that I'm at home cleaning.

Our foster dog is returning to his brave owner tomorrow morning so I'm a blubbering mess. A year ago I didn't even like dogs!

I'm analyzing every bit of food I eat because I've done pretty well with weight gain for the first part of my pregnancy & with 6 weeks to go, I'm TERRIFIED of becoming a whale.

Too. Many. Thoughts.
Too. Many. Emotions.

Re: Anyone else LOSING their €#^*?

  • I recently quit my job (Hubby doesn't want me out in this Florida heat all the time while pregnant, and wants me to be a SAHM) so I really feel you with the house cleaning EVERY DAY... It gets old really fast! Cleaning the same things over and over.. Hubby's truck has been down for a couple weeks now, he has had ZERO time to take it in, so he's been taking my car to work... And I end up with cabin fever from being home alone everyday, lol. He's got it in the shop now, so that's good!:) My dreams have been SUPER realistic and very strange, and although I wake up every half hour, I still manage to have a full dream every time I fall back asleep, lol. Third Trimester is torture!

  • Raises hand. Esp with DH! We are trying to build a shelf right now. He asked me to Google plans for it. While I am doing that he tells me he has a plan. Well then why do I need to do find a plan if you have one already? Well I don't really know how I want to do it, just what I want it to look like is his response. So I continue looking but everything I come up with, he keeps telling me that won't work or he doesn't have that type of tool needed. So I tell him he needs to look for something then because I refuse to waste my time if I don't know what he wants. Yet he doesn't understand that and asks me to keep looking! Um, no! I am ready to lose it!
  • Every day at work I lose my effin mind! I'm surrounded by whistlers, hummers and singers that drive me INSANE!! My goodness, shut up and do your job, you don't even sound good.
  • I feel your pain. I've been keeping the house as clean as possible because I feel like I need to. It's getting close to go time and we will have family staying with us for a bit when baby gets here. I know i won't want to come home from the hospital to a messy house.
  • @Shine2015 my husband is the same way!!! "Well this is what I'm trying to accomplish and this is how I think I can do it" I am CONSTANTLY reminding him that my grandfather, who lives on the same street and does not do anything all day, was a woodworker and has all the tools he could possibly need as well as the know-how to teach him (our son is going to sleep in the crib he built by hand when I was born in 86, we live in a house he bulit in 78, so really he knows what the man can accomplish). But does he call for help, no. Does it his way then says "well its not what I wanted but it will work". Men sometimes (ok, usually)!
  • My husband also treats me like a little china doll and won't even let me drive haha. It's okay because we both work from home so we are together 24/7 anyway, so I don't mind him driving. Most men prefer to drive anyway!
  • I get cabin fever from being home so much as well! Makes me feel crazy.  But what's irritating me isn't the amount of cleaning I've been doing - it's the lack to cleaning.  I had so much energy in the 2nd tri and I got used to scrubbing my kitchen down and leaving my house spotless every single day. But since being in the third tri, I've been to exhausted/sore/overheated to get anything done. My house is a wreck and it makes me feel useless. I feel like I'm losing my mind!!!
  • My temper is at its limit as well the last few days. I have absolutely zero tolerance for anyone's shenanigans.
  • I've been crying everyday over something random. The other night at the hospital my FIL tried to be nice by cooking dinner while I was gone. Well the hamburger meat he used I was saving for burgers. I REALLY wanted a burger and was already upset that I hadn't eaten before going to l&d. I cried for over an hr. My husband laughed. My FIL has no idea I got upset. Then last night I cried bc the nurse told me to put the car seat in the car and buy a few preemie outfits if I felt up to going to the store after my NST. Of course I wallowed in a chocolate cheesecake which made it somewhat better.
    I'm so hormonal!!!!!

    My husband worries too but this level of worry would drive me crazy. I can't stay cooped up and I don't want to be with husband 24/7.

    I'm exhausted too! I have to stop cleaning like every 15-20 minutes and sit down/put my feet up for like 15 minutes. And so, pretty much at that rate, it takes me all day to get everything done! I just constantly play movies in the living room, so I can come sit down and watch for a few when I'm taking a break and also to have some noise for when I'm out of the living room, cleaning.
