Anxiety about leaving Toddler to have second.

[mrcorman]

I have been in extreme nesting mode for awhile but I have fallen behind this week on keeping up with laundry and I'm afraid that the baby will come And nothing will be done. I am almost 38 weeks and my doc says I'm very ready! So on top of that I feel very uneasy about leaving my toddler with my in laws at our home while we have the babe. I appreciate it and know it is necessary, but they are not capable of doing things like we do around our home. They also think eating healthy is a joke and would gladly let him have cake for breakfast lunch and dinner.... they also don't get him clean when they change his diapers so I feel bad for him!! Hope I don't come home to a boy with a bad butt rash. I know this isn't a question, but I'm need advice on how to calm my nerves about the whole thing.

We are totally on the same page!! And my husband still dk where she will be while we are in labor. But we do know that my husband will stay with her the 2 days im in the hospital. They will visit during the day and go back home. Our in laws will gladly tc of our daughter but i know they don't respect our way of parenting at all... So we decided to take care of one child each.

This is a normal feeling. However you can't do it all and the times gunna come and you are gunna have this baby and he's gunna go to the in laws. So try not to stress and be happy you have help and someone to take this toddler while you have your baby and is it really end of the world to have cake once for breakfast.  
I was very whelmed up this past 18 months and trying to do it all my son was in the hospital the whole year and half so I had to let go a lot. After all the stress pain I have realized that people just want to help and do the best THeY can weather you agree with all of it or not you CAN NOT do it all on your own you will go crazy and the family will fall apart trust me I was there. It's hard and Hingis will get on your nerves but let the small stuff go and try to be thankful and enjoy this time as they grow up fast good luck momma
