I really just need some tips to keep myself together. I just got a job at this day-care where I work full-time (even though I just started Friday) and in it I use my time to also teach my son. I have a feeling that I may be pregnant and I am running a bit nervous now. Any tips? Obviously I would be sure once I find out for sure and realize if I am going to have morning sickness or not. I just need tips from people who maybe have dealt with a hectic schedule while pregnant and with a little one already. Thank you in advance.
take a deep breath, take a PG test. Then you'll have to take things one day at a time. Be loving to your son. and explain things to your place of work.
I agree with ABall, take a deep breath, find out if your PG, and take things one day at a time... I'm pregnant with my third & final child, I have a 15 month old (well she'll 'officially' be 15 months on Tuesday), and am homeschooling my 10 yr old daughter. I also am in the building stages of an online business. So I know about feeling stressed and worrying about how to deal with it; I just take it day by day, and luckily my 10 yr old can help with the baby for a few hours every afternoon so I can do the housework and make dinner. Don't ask about 'Mommy' time because I have yet to find enough time in the day for that, LOL. Here's a rough schedule of my weekday: 5am: Get up with hubby, make his lunch, spend some quality time with him before he leaves for work at 6. 6-7:30am: Work on home business, and various other online jobs. 7:30-8am: Get girls up, get breakfast. 8-10am: Do schoolwork with 10 yr old, and play with baby so she doesn't try to eat the schoolbooks. 10am-noon: Work on business some more. Make lunch for the girls. noon-2pm: Baby naps, 10 yr old has quiet time, and I try to nap (not always successful though, I usually find something that needs to be done instead of a nap). 2-3:30pm: Clean house/do laundry. This doesn't get my house spic&span, but it's clean enough that I don't have to worry about anyone stepping in something unpleasant. 3:30-whenever: Make dinner, and check the laundry. Whenever dinner's done: Eat, then clean the kitchen. Afterwards (usually around 6:30-7pm): Spend some time with the girls, watching tv, cuddling, whatever. 8-8:30pm: Put baby to bed, and get older daughter into shower. 9pm: Bedtime for everyone. I know there are places where I could probably streamline this more, but I'm very set in my ways, and have a hard time sticking to even this rough schedule some days. Those contradict each other so maybe I should explain myself... I'm set in my ways because I don't want to have to rely on my daughter for alot of things (my parents were that way) but I have a hard time sticking to my schedule because there are alot of days since I've gotten pregnant that I just don't want to work on the business at all. Is that better?
