🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻My husband and I are having to live with my parents for a little while until we are financially stable enough to get our own home and whatnot. My son has autism (he's five) and it's usually tough stuff caring for him and very exhausting (I love him like crazy). We're fortunate enough to live in a nice home and have the upstairs (3+ bedroom, 2 bath) all to ourselves, but it does get tiresome living with my parents since we do things differently. We've only gotten a handful of clothes for baby and have to eventually set up a crib in my stepdaughter's room for him, so you could say we have a ton to get done in three months. It's all very stressful but if I don't make light of it I'll be upset all of the time about it and I refuse to live that way. We just make the best out of our situation until we are able to leave.I hate to hear things are so stressful for you. Try and use my method of making light of it so you don't worry yourself to death.Best of luck to you and your family! ♥️
Feeling so overwhelmed - can anyone else relate?
Does anyone else feel so extremely overwhelmed and stressed out? Sometimes it's nice just to know you're not alone.. my husband and I have SO much to do before our little girl comes. We have less than 3 months and there is so much to do. Our house that we live in is not exactly super nice. It's an older home and I really can't wait to move. Our house has so many things that need to be done to it. Our plumbing has to be fixed, our roof currently has a leak in it which is making the closet in our soon to be nursery moldy. Yes, there's a mold problem in our nursery closet. We have cars that need to be fixed, things that have to get cleaned and ready for the baby. My husband suffered a really bad accident at work (he was an electrician) and got second and third degree burns all over his face and so he's been unable to see or do much of anything for the last 2 weeks. After his accident we decided we didn't want him to go back to what he was doing so now he is currently looking for a job. Our finances are so tight and we have debt, and bills. And I'm the only one making all the money right now while pregnant... we have to be on a really tight strict budget right now because of this.... nothing for the baby has been bought yet except for a few things of clothes. I just don't even know what to do or where to begin. I feel so overwhelmed and stressed out. Am I alone in feeling this way?

Are you having a shower? If you havent already announced, I recommend not letting people know the gender (if you found out). All the showers I have been to where gender is known people buy outfits, blankets, stuffed animals and NOT the practical things. We didn't find out the gender for our first and we got all of the big ticket/important things off our registry. It really helped. Also a lot of areas have Facebook groups where moms post free or super cheap lightly used baby gear...this can help a lot to ease your financial worries!
