Okay, I will try to sum up my crazy life right now...

My husband and I found out we were pregnant with our second child in January when our first child (my son) was about 6 months old. We moved from Idaho to Washington to be closer to my parents so that I could have help if I needed it.

We arrived in March. He found a job in May. We signed our lease June 1st. Finally got all settled. Everything was going really good. Then his mom and sister visited for the weekend- it went well (I don’t normally get along with his mom)- but his 9 year old niece wanted to stay until the following weekend so we kept her. Monday on the 5th my husband and her were playing at the park- she climbed onto a big rock climbing structure and got scared. When he tried to help her down he slipped (she was fine thank god) but he broke his foot in two places and tore the tendon.

He has a labor job that requires him to be on his feet and they don’t have light duties for him. He hasn’t been with the job long enough to qualify for short term disability or FMLA so they let him go. He had surgery yesterday.

I have had complications during my pregnancy- so I am on restriction of absolutely NO driving and NO lifting more than 10 lbs (which includes my 25 lb son). I’m a full time stay at home mom. And now I am 4 weeks from my due date and I’ve already been showing signs for 2 weeks that my body is prepping for labor.

I am absolutely stressed beyond my core. I have no idea what we will do. I don’t know how we will pay our bills or rent. We applied for food stamps and cash assistance, and my husband filed for unemployment and has been applying for any job he can do sitting. But it will take 4 weeks or longer to get any answers back on our applications for the assistance/unemployment. I am in so much pain from lifting my son that I can barely walk. But now that my husband has had surgery he cannot bear ANY weight on his foot- he’s on crutches and has to keep it elevated pretty much 24/7. And his recovery will be 6-8 weeks. And he is not legally able to drive because it is his right foot that was broken.

My mom lives about 30 minutes from me and she has been trying to help as much as possible- but financially they aren’t in a position to help us either. She has just been trying to drive us to any appointments we have.

But I have never been so stressed in my whole life. I already struggle with anxiety and depression and this whole situation is pushing me way past my limits physically and emotionally. And I’m so terrified for labor and to bring my daughter home and what will happen when we can’t make rent. My son can feel all the tension and stress and it is greatly affecting him. We had to take him to the ER just barely on Sunday because he was lethargic and unable to walk- it turns out he was very dehydrated even though he showed no physical signs and we were almost sent home until I pushed for a blood test because I just knew something wasn’t right. He is finally feeling better and back to being himself.

All of this is just too much...

I NEED A MIRACLE 💔
