For the most part, my pregnancy has been fairly uneventful – a good thing, considering my record of things-that-can-go-wrong is pretty hefty.
Unfortunately, this last week I’ve battled the dreaded UTI and kidney stone, and currently feel like my back has been beaten with a two by four. Sixty times. Every hour. On the hour.
And on Friday? Well, we found out our townhouse (rental) is being sold.
Congratulations! You have 30 days to vacate!
Um.
Naturally, this happens at a pretty not-fun time. I’m at a point where I’m no longer allowed to lift heavy boxes or do crazy amounts of work. And, let’s be honest, I’m a bit bat-s!$%-crazy : a little obsessive, compulsive, sarcastic, with a need to be in charge of everything. My pregnant self is not the most friendly.
And I cry. Over everything.
Trying to keep my hormones in check the last few days has been an incredibly hard task. I know there is no reason to stress, because I can’t change the situation. It is what it is. And it’s no one’s fault.
But.
I feel like a chicken with it’s head cut off.
Lucky for me, I have an amazing husband. And family.
That is the great thing about hard times, you recognize the wonderful support system surrounding you, and no matter how crumby things feel – you know it’s going to be okay. It’s going to get better.
And I do have a wonderful support system.
In the midst of tears this morning, I told my husband, “I’ve started leaking and I can’t stop!”
“It’s okay, honey,” he said, “Just keep crying. Sometimes you need to cry.”
See?
(Only it made me cry more, because he is so freaking awesome.)
