Regrets
There is nothing like being pregnant again with two toddlers running around to make you feel like a bad mom. On top of it you see couples with their "one child" their perfect joy as they have everything set up to enjoy their baby. Sure they have their problems, but it's so hard to enjoy your kids when you can't wait for them to go to sleep so you can crash as well to escape the agony of your stomach. I often wish I could have had that perfect timing, that I could have waited until things were just perfect before I had a baby so I could put everything into my baby and not have to worry about how to make ends meet. But alas it is not so, I love my kids and I try to be a good mom, but it can be so hard sometimes. And with another one on the way there are more and more times I want to just run away. I know things will get better, the kids will grow up and after the whirlwind as passed I know I'll be left with more regrets. How I didn't spend more time with them, how I didn't do this or that, and I will miss them. All I want to do is enjoy them, but once in a while I wish I could just.....

Sorry Terri, wish I could nearer to you so I could help you out a bit with the boys. I hope you get some time to just rest and relax. I am praying for you and you know I am always here to talk to if you need it. Love you, Timna
Keep your head up girl. Your kids love u. Moms like Angel and you are 1 and a hundred dozens. U say u may regret not spending time with them. But they will never regret u. my P's was always at work r doing this and that, And I love them to death because I know what they sacrifice for me and my bros and believe me your kids will too. So stay strong and remember a lil love goes a long way.
I totally relate to this. I am pg with number 5 and the oldest is 6. I even tried several forms of birth control to slow it down, but it didn't work for me. Sometimes I feel like a bad mom because of it too. The same reasons as you. I want to be able to provide more for my kids and pour into them more but with 4 kids and one on the way it's a feat just to get through the day sometimes. Good luck and prayers to you. Your kids are adorable and when they all get a bit older I know we'll both have a lot more fun than if we only had one.
I know the feeling. I'm pg with my third as well and just getting over a nasty two months of morning sickness. Hang in there! Things will get better -- for both of us. :)
I feel for you Terri...:( You're such an awesome mom! Hang in there...
When I come to visit, which I plan on doing within the next couple of months (fingers crossed) I will take the kids for you or steel you a way for the day. ;)

I know how you feel! What helps me is having some different blogs that I visit when I have a few minutes from other mom's who are in the same boat as me...makes me feel more connected and not so isolated and like other mom's are having to deal with similar chaotic moments on their side of the world. -- It helps!
