Can I AW my folks? (it got long...sorry!)

And my neighbor?

DH left for another work trip early this morning I woke up to no heat, again. Ugh. I called the tech, and he said he'd come out. I can't lift anything, so I called my neighbor, sobbing, and he came right over to stay with my to listen to what the tech said about our furnace. The tech put a temporary switch in and will be back later this week. My neighbor is going to come back to be there again. He is the best.

Of course, having people in my house made me start realizing how dirty the place is. With DH doing so much travel and me doing ER and ET (no lifting/pushing), the house has been, um, bad. I started having a panic attack and called my mom to have her calm me down. She and my dad came over and cleaned the whole house and did all the laundry. They are the best. My mom knew I can't lift anything heavy and that it's not really easy to avoid heavy lifting when you're trying to clean your house. I felt like such a weak, terrible housewife, but I'm trying to remember that my parents want to help and feel helpless, and this is a way they could feel like they're helping us. I cooked dinner in the slow cooker for them. I seriously love them and am so grateful for their help.

And I'm blaming my over emotional state on all the fertility drugs.

Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.

  • You have some wonderful parents, and a great neighbor.  That's so great that they were able to come and help you out.

    When I was put on pelvic rest for a couple of weeks while we were awaiting the verdict on the m/c, my mom had come over to be with me the day I took the suppository.  I felt so helpless that my house was disgusting and she was there taking care of me and cleaning it.  She said a few words that really humbled me.  She said that helping us in these ways makes her feel like she's at least contributing something to the situation she can't control or do anything about.  

    So never feel guilty about reaching out for their help when you need to.  They may feel that in this situation there isn't anything else they can do to make things work for you, but they can help to take some burdens off your shoulders.
