Super stressed... Need place to vent

July has been and will continue to be stupid busy: i just got back from vacation home to see my family. MIL coming out to visit for a week on Wednesday. I'm throwing a bachelorette party for my best friend on the 30th. I still have done 0 researching or scanning for baby registry. I also still need to get into a prenatal or birthing class. I need to register for school classes on August 3rd so I can get $ from my GI bill (prior military) and school starts on the 24th of August (I've had school issues for over s year and should have been in classes a year ago) And my husband is deploying in the middle of August too. Sigh... I still have so much to do this month and next. I've made lists and am very slowly checking them off. Gotta keep on going though. :/

Thanks. I feel a tiny bit better. Oh... And my dog is a shit head and that makes my days worse. Lol.

Re: Super stressed... Need place to vent

  • That's a lot to deal with! Take some deep breaths, you will get through this and figure it all out.

    If you need a book on preparing your dog for the baby, I just read a book called, "Good dog, happy baby." And it's very helpful.

    Best of luck with everything!

    One thing you can put off until mid August/September if you're super busy is your registry. If you're having a shower you probably aren't sending invites out until then. Maybe take a few days after you register for school and before your DH deploys and start your registry together.
    I hope you can get everything done without stressing too much!

    Thank you both so much. I believe my mom and or sister are throwing a virtual baby shower sometime in my third trimester so I think I can hold off on the registry too. Just everything is happening so fast. Not excited about my husband deploying so soon either. But we've done three before and this one will be doable too. :)

    I believe there are some other military SOs in this BMB, I don't know if they have a thread but you could always consider starting one for all of you, it might be helpful to talk to each other especially those with a deployed or soon to be deployed SO as well, even if you've been through it before!

    I think that's a great idea. There's a different kind of support that goes along with the military life and adding a baby is definitely a major addition with that. Having a special place for the group of you may be very helpful!

  • Oh dear!! Sending hugs + support!

    Thanks ladies! :)
    I'm feeling better today. I've ticked a few things off my long list. And some I can hold off until later.
  • There is a military thread, unfortunately it isn't very active :-S

    Cross one thing off your list at a time! You got this!
