Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 I am expecting my 3rd child this Christmas and I am getting worried about how I will cope. I don't really know why I am worried as Phoebe and Eloisa are good girls and Phoebe took to Eloisa no trouble (in fact adored her from day one) and I have done the sibling jealousy (we have had a few incidents) I also have done the adding an other member to the family and am not that idealistic that I have a superclean house (doesn't bother me if the house is a little dirty) BUT I am worried about coping, Phoebe will be just under 4 and Eloisa will be just under 2 (or 2 if baby is very late) so same age gap as I dealt with last time.. but this time I also have Phoebe's play group to take into account (and Eloisa is due to start to). Dh has a very busy job so during the week I see little of him and am really on my own with the girls.. We do not have any " extra " help in and I doubt it will be anything that will happen even after baby.. (don't ask ) I have some lovely and really supportive friends whom I know will rally round and help me through the pitfall's and if I think about it sensibly then I know that I can deal with it and that once baby is here I will just get on with things and wont be able to think imagine baby not around it is just at the moment I keep thinking OH MY what have I let myself in for.. weird as I have really enjoyed the 2 year age gap between Phoebe and Eloisa and we deliberately aimed for a similar gap.. I know that there is not much anyone can say I guess I just needed to put it down someplace. I think also I am a little " worried " as I think this baby might be a boy and that would be a whole new ball game for me ;o).. I don't mean to make anyone feel uncomfortable but I am needing some advice I guess. Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery... My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake. I feel better already.
