Giving Enough

As I’m hitting the end of my pregnancy, I’m starting to get a little sad! Not because I don’t want to get this cute little parasite out, but because I’m reflecting on the past 9 months wondering if I was patient enough, if I was there enough for my kids, if they felt like they got enough of my attention.

As I’m hitting the end of my pregnancy, I’m starting to get a little sad...because I’m reflecting on the past 9 months wondering if I was patient enough, if I was there enough for my kids, if they felt like they got enough of my attention.

I feel like because we packed up, moved, sold two houses, had broken bones and hospital visits, moved to Arizona in complete faith that going back to freelance would be a good idea, sold two cars, potty trained, will be moving again in a few weeks, and had to deal with every other little life thing like bills, health insurance, blah blah blah, was I there for my kids like they needed me

I feel like my brain has been all over the place and am having some major mom guilt. Then I hear having three kids is the biggest game changer of all! Did you guys feel like that, or am I just losing it? Give me all the advice for this transition because this crazy lady needs it!
