26-5-2009 - Emotional rollercoaster...

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

Does anyone else ride these rollercoasters as well? I am sure we all do given the stresses of everyday life and caring for our other children, spouses and extended family. I find that my situation is unique and would love to hear from anyone else who has or is experiencing simular circumstances. I have a 9 month old daughter and am now due to have another wonderful baby in December. I lost my Mother suddenly during my first pregnancy when I was about 13 weeks along. My Mom was only 57 and it was a sudden thing. She was my best friend and well, more than words can describe. I found myself inheriting my little sister and a ton of emotional bagage during that time. I am excited about this pregnancy because I don't think I paid to much attention to myself the first time around. My birth plan was to wing it and well, that's what I did. This time around, my Father is very ill and I am coming to terms with the fact that I will probably lose him during this pregnancy. I have never met anyone else who has lost their parents in such a way. I have amazing friends but all of their parents are living and it's just not the same. Wondering if anyone else understands what I'm going through. Until then, I am trying to relax and enjoy my babies...

I cannot relate to losing your mom...Thankfully my mom (who is also my best friend) is still here and doing well. My first pregnancy was simple and perfect. This one on the other hand has been crazy and quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. I had a m/c in early March at 11 weeks. My husband lost his job the same day we lost the baby. During the next couple months we found out my dad has inoperable pancreatic cancer. He is trying chemo but things do not look good. Just after his diagnosis, we found out we were expecting again! I felt this was something to give us all hope and help us heal but (although it is exciting and we want this baby in our family more than anything) it has become another stressor in our lives. I have been spotting and bleeding off and on for the last 4 weeks and every time I think we are going to lose another baby. My heart goes out to you and please know I may not be able to fully relate but I am always available to listen and I understnad about stress! Take care!
