So I cannot be the only mom that is feeling burned out right now. I have spoken to so many other mom friends and we are all feeling this drain. Also think it is worse in the winter and where we are it is bellow freezing.

I am a SAHM to a 21 month old and currently 31 weeks pregnant. Being a high risk pregnancy I have on average 2-4 appointments a week. Also my hard working husband works 12 hours shifts at least 5 days a week if not more (thanks to the pandemic.) He gets home eats and goes to sleep.

I am missing people. I am missing my family and social stimulation. I miss being outdoors. I am so high risk that I really cannot risk much right now and the people who are safer too see I am a risk for them because I spend so much time in the doctors.

I am worried in a few weeks when there is a new baby and me and a toddler. I already feel so alone and exhausted. Honestly hearing of how the closures and such are probably going to continue just absolutely breaks any chance of hope. I miss the idea I had of what being a stay at home mom would be and raising our family, I guess I am grieving for the dream that I had.
