Emotions?

Question

Is anyone else really overwhelmed ? I'm a FTM. And I have not even began to get my son's room together. I got a little over 3 months and I want to have his room ready before September even gets here so really I have two. & my  SO just keeps blowing everything off, saying wait till its sooner. I'm getting overwhelmed that everything is not gonna be ready. just would like to know if anyone else is in my boat or I am over reacting like my SO states I am.

Answer

Breath in breath out. Parenthood in generally can be very overwhelming. Start doing it yourself and hopefully he will step up and start helping. But know that from pretty much now on, if everything goes as planned, it's a miracle not the norm lol

Answer

Thank y'all ladies for your replies! I was just feeling overwhelmed since this is my first and I'm already getting dirty looks and responses because I'm so young. But I just wanted it to be perfect for him; but I understand now that it will be perfect regardless of the room or not. I just always thought pregnancy would be different. I spend all my first trimester and half of the second so sick I couldn't do anything, now that I have the energy and am not so sick, I wanted to jump because you never know if we deliever early or something bad happens. And I just thought my husband would be more understand. But he just wants to wait till the baby shower as well. 😒 and even doing that - my baby shower is not until the end of July. I just feel like I won't be emotionally or physically able to do anything by then. But thanks for responding & taking the time to read. I'm leaving it is God's hands and pray for a miracle I guess

Answer

Yes ma'am! My husband is saying the same thing and it's driving me NUTS!  He wants to wait until we get closer because of baby showers, but I don't think anyone is going to be buying the big stuff for us. I'd really like to get going. And we are having a placenta complication which causes low birth weight and possible early delivery and it's starting to freak me out. So I'm with you! All we can do is take it one day at a time.

Answer

Don't worry, sis. It'll all work out. My husband and I both just lost our jobs. Have 1 to 2 months for my husband to find something so we can move to wherever in the country we're supposed to be. It's a bit overwhelming, but God will take care of it. Having the perfect nursery and having everything in place isn't everything. You have plenty of love to give your baby, and you'll be a great mom.♡

Answer

I hear ya. I'm feeling very overwhelmed too. Just had my sons 3rd birthday party and organising that was so stressful.  I just feel so unprepared and want to have everything sorted but partner tells me to "just get it later" . It's so hard.

Answer

I hear you I wanted to set my nursery up a long time ago but I can't because we have a roommate and he was supposed to move out about a month ago and now he may not be leaving until 3 weeks before my due date!:( I'm very upset and stressed over it because I want to put he nursery together and I know it's going to be too much the further along I get. I am also worried about what if I'm put on bed rest or what if I go into labor early where is my baby going to sleep and how the heck am I going to take care of a newborn, work 50 hours a week and set up a nursery?

Answer

At least you are not in my shoes.. Our house isn't even finished, we live in it but soooo much needs to be done, the baby's room still needs Sheetrock, paint and floor (well pretty much the whole house needs all of this). The crib we got needs to be painted and we have not bought anything at all for the baby yet 😩 my husband says he will get it done but I feel the same as you, I hope we can get it all done before he gets here

Answer

I am due Sep 6th, and we have done almost nothing for the nursary!! My parents super generously purchased a crib and dresser this week for us, but it has not yet arrived and we still have to paint etc. I am kind of itching to get it done, but I know we will pull it together before he is born, and I am sure you will too! You really do have plenty of time, but your feelings are totally valid!

Answer

Same over here! The baby's nursery will be in our room and there is so much to be done!
