I'm so sorry you are having a day like that today.
Call the assistant and set up that cleansing appt.! No harm in taking the lead in that and I'm sure it will get done a lot sooner. And yes, if someone can watch DD then arrange it and get a little you time in to clear your mind. Sometimes that makes a world of difference. Its got to be hard being you and her 24/7 and everyone needs a few moments to breath. I swear our kids know when its not the right time to push buttons but do it anyway even if they are too little to be aware of it. I can't imagine all that you do daily with her and also worrying about DH's safetly while he is overseas. Big hugs to you

Big Big hugs!

I hope your scheduling troubles work their way out smoothly. I can't imagine the worry you must contend with everyday with your DH overseas. You are one strong woman and your strength will see your family through!

Maybe schedule a special mommy daughter day (not like every day isn't already). Pick a nice spot and have a picnic or seek out an air conditioned kid friendly museum and just hang out with her. Soon hubby will be home and baby will be here! It'll be nice to have a memory like that to hold on to.

((HUGS)) I am sorry that you are having such a hard time. It is so hard to deal with the little ones pushing your buttons - I have been short with Christopher lately, too, so I can relate. It always makes me very mad at myself afterwards. So, I hope it helps to know it's not just you!

I hope you hear from DH very soon so that it eases your mind a bit. I can't imagine how hard that must be.

I agree with the other posters - get that fear clearing session on the books!

And, you definitely dropped!! How exciting!!

Thanks ladies!! It's probably nothing, but I feel extremely uncomfortable today in my belly below my belly button and in my lower back. I did have ctx for about 2 hours that were around 3 mins apart and 50-60 seconds long, but they have eased off and are random again now. I swear I'm not going to know if it's real or not b/c I have had sessions of ctx almost every other day for the past week.

Sorry you are feeling low today. I agree with kridda'a suggestion of being proactive and scheduling a clearing session. That should help a ton. As for being irritable, hopefully some sleep will help that.

I hope you get a phonecall soon...

I did the same thing with ctx for about 4 weeks before I went into labor and especially the weekend before. I didn't think I would know when real labor came but oh man did I. lol. My contractions completely changed and there was NO ignoring them once they were the real deal.

Sorry you had such a rough day! I think that scheduling the session yourself instead of waiting for her to call you would be a good idea.

I hope you are feeling better today! I also hope you hear from DH soon!

I do feel much better today! Still no call though. I got my spur of the last moment buy in the mail... Birthing From Within. I love it already and did the first exercise a little while ago. Other than that, nesting maybe? I went on a huge grocery trip, put everything away, cleaned the refrigerator, vacuumed upstairs, cleaned the kitchen, and have done some laundry lol.

I really think just getting everything out on here helps a lot. It's like then I don't keep turning it over and over in my mind.

Wow, I had a lot to catch up on. 1st, don't be so hard on yourself about being snappy with your daughter. I know nobody likes to be like that, but you're only human and you're also in the last stages of pregnancy and hormones are running high. Sounds like the other ladies had lots of good advice for you and I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. 2nd: Your transformation pix are awesome! Honestly though, you didn't look bad to start with. Not trying to downplay your achievement, just letting you know that you're a beautiful woman. 3rd: Oh, and the belly has DEFINITELY dropped. Love all the pix you share. I'm so lazy when it comes to pix.

I totally understand the guilt of being snappy with your daughter. It is hard being pregnant and at times harder when there is another one to take care of. What I do with my daughters is that after I have snapped and I feel better, I immediately sit down and hug her and apologize and explain why. DD#2 doesn't really get it but I feel like apologizing for bad behavior is an important lesson and the hug and attention I give helps the situation for both of us.

And another great thing about having kids so close together is that their memory is short and they love you so much that a little snap here and there doesn't phase them.
