Not feeling like myself

Amanda • Mommy to a beautiful, sweet baby boy 12/31/2018 3/27/2021 👼

So I am 25 weeks pregnant today with my first. My husband and I both work. He works an opposite shift as myself, so seeing each other is difficult. We both full time jobs and I am in my last semester of school. Our time together is limited to Friday evenings after I get off work, Saturdays, and Sunday mornings before he goes to work.

The past week I have been feeling down from not spending time together. I go to work and just want to be at home. I get a sense of anxiety and dread having the leave home to go to work. There were a few days last week when I cried because I don't want us to miss out firsts that happen once our baby boy is here just because we are working. Knowing I have work tomorrow makes me want to cry and I already dread the week.

I feel so overwhelmed by emotion, work, and school work. When I am home I'm doing homework and can't really relax or enjoy it. Does any other mom have these feelings? Genuinely concerned for my feelings and emotions.
