Need to vent - stressed !!
I’m 25 weeks today and so unbelievably stressed right now.
I recently got a promotion at work and moved projects, and have some documentation due in a week that I just found out about. There’s ridiculous requirements from our customer and so much of it is just going to be bull crap fluffed up to be able to check off a list. I’ve never done documentation like this before, so this is stressing me out.
The project I just rolled off of keeps coming back and bothering me with questions and little tasks that I don’t have time to handle at all.
I’ve got chiropractor appointments every week because my sciatica has gotten so bad my leg is basically always numb.
I’m also getting my braces off next week which is wonderful, but means I have to make up time at work for those appointments.
My husband and I are trying to finish up some remodel work on our house so we can list it for sell in a week. We got this place 2 years ago at a very good deal because it needed a lot of work, and turned it into a very nice home in the mean time. But our realtor is crazy and chomping at the bit to get it on the market.
This means we also have to find something to do with our pets during showings and open houses. My cat has never been away from me and is not going to handle boarding very well...
Since we’re selling our house, we’re also looking for a new home. Figuring out what we want (we have expensive taste) vs what we can afford vs what we could live with and remodel later has been quite the hassle.
We’ve also had baby classes that I signed us up for months ago that are happening every week which is cutting into our time for other things.
I feel like I’m losing my mind. I have so much tightness and stress built up in my shoulders right now, and I’m worrying too that it’s affecting my little baby. I just got out of a meeting at work that made me even more aggravated with current tasks, and baby was having a dance party by the time I got back to my desk. I think me getting stressed and worked up got her going.
TLDR; I’m stressed and losing my mind ! How do you guys cope with chaos during pregnancy ? Usually this would call for hot tubs and a bottle of wine but obviously that’s out of the picture ....
