Joanna, Gracie and Brandi,
Thank you all so much for your replies. It really does help to know that I can come here to talk and vent to you all. Sometimes, I forget how stubborn I can be and need to lean on others to get me through.
Amanda,
Thank you for checking on me today. I am doing ok today. I did manage to have a brief chat with DH regarding his attitude over the last few days. I told him that I did not think it was fair to be so snappy with me. He was very defensive for a few minutes and then softened up a bit. From the conversation I gathered he is just tired of seeing me so down and sick. He is not used to that with me. I am normally the bubbly one of the family. He told me short of forcing me to eat, he could do no more. I told him that physically, no he could not but emotionally, he could make a world of difference. I am not sure if I got through to him but has been a bit nicer to me after that chat.
When speaking with my mom yesterday, she gave me some much needed good news. She told me that if DH and I wanted her to come out at the beginning of May and stay until two weeks after the baby is born, she could
. I was so very happy to hear this news. DH was also very relieved. My dad is being so sweet as well. He told my mom that he thought it was a great idea for her to come out here and help out with DS and me as well. My dad plans on driving out here when I go into labor to watch DS while my mom and DS are in the delivery room with me (Their drive is almost 7 hours from their house to where I live). My dad will then get to see his new grandchild as well as his wife (who has basically lived out here over the past few months
). My parents have been so understanding through this entire pregnancy.
Thanks again everyone,
Jamie
