Crazy hormonal! Hellllp!

[thepax89]

Friends, I'm a monster. With dd, I was over the moon, and such a happy, joyful, little peach. This child is making me yell and snark at everyone. How will I survive the holidays?

Advice?

Thinking of skipping Christmas as not to embarrass myself/ expose my pregnancy

Honestly, I just have to not let my hormones get the best of me. A lot of times I just fake it til I make it. I wouldn't skip out on festivities because that wouldn't be much fun!! Just try to make the best out of each circumstance and laugh off any drama.

Lots of deep breathing... and if you feel yourself getting tense, leave the room for a couple minutes.

Maybe you could come up with a code to tell your SO when you are losing it so they can help you avoid the situation?

You are not a monster...you are tired from making a baby AND running around after a toddler. It is totally understandable. I'm not sure I have advice, but don't be too hard on yourself and let DH support you through all the holiday madness.

I tossed water at his face today. In my defense, he deserved it probably. :/

Not probably, definitely!

Just chiming in to commiserate about the whacko hormones. I have been crying over EVERYTHING this past week. I don't remember doing that the first time around. Talk about feeling crazy!
