Tired

Aaaw, hugs! Your emotions are ramped up right now. You'll get through this. Amazing way to document your feelings!

Thank you all so much for your sweet words, ladies!
That helps a lot. :wub:
I know I'm probably just overreacting. I just want to have his room ready as soon as possible.

You know, nobody prepares you for the mental part of pregnancy. We are pretty much alone in all of it. I hope you have some close friends who have gone through pregnancy and having children that can listen to you and guide you through it. It's very stressful and we don't have all the answers. And even if you are looking for answers, you will get so many different ones and some that don't necessarily align with the way you want to do things.

And yes, having baby's room ready was one of my things too. Ben is an architect and loves project and he took on remodeling our first baby's room from the bare bones (down to the studs) and the dust was so stressful for me. He got it done in time though and I was able to nest and relax. But also know that your baby won't suffer if he sleeps in the same room as you for a few months if his room isn't ready yet. And that was actually my preference to sleep with baby because it was so much easier to breastfeed and diaper change and all while being close. We had enough room to have the crib in our room for a while.

And all the advice you didn't ask anybody to give haha


But also I forgot to say how much I love your layout. You don't do art journaling very often but boy! I love it!

Thank you so so so much, Lea! Your reply is much appreciated.
I have my mom whom I can vent to. And I have two close friends from work, to whom I can vent to as well.

We probably put the crib in our bedroom as well, for the first few months. I prefer to sleep with my baby as well. I think it's a lot safer.
The crib will fit into our room as well. But not his closet and the changing table and everything else that goes with it.

I am very grateful to my father in law that he is willing to build us a large shed. I just wished the didn't say that he would have it finished in two weeks lol.
He comes here almost every day. He is preparing a lot of stuff like cutting the wood in the right sizes. So at the end he can put all things together faster. It's just that I don't see any progress on the build itself. Oh and yes, I can relate to what you say about the dust! The shed is in our backyard, so he keeps running in and out the house with dirty shoes. I have to clean and mop the floor every night after he is gone.
I know it's temporary. It's just exhausting.

I agree with Krista and Lea.
I felt the same when I was waiting my twins, I was crying because as we live in a small flat at the time I can't stand the tiny room we will have to share and I didn't see how we could arrange it correctly but finally a friend help us and this tiny room was great. I think my best memories are in this room and I loved having my babies near me all night!
The only problem is now they still like I'm not far from them to sleep...
I guess it's annoying to have this building work not finishing and the dust but for sure it's not forever and there's no reason it wouldn't end at time.
Hope things will get better my friend!
Hugs from us!

Thank you so much for your kind words, my sweet friend!
Much much much appreciated! :wub: :wub: :wub:

I LOVE this art journal-y page with so much raw emotion emanating forth from every choice you've made.
(((((hugs))))) as you make your way through this emotional and exhausting and exhilarating and thrilling and scary and all the other emotions that tromp through our brains while pregnant.
