Patience?? What Patience??

So I don't know about anyone else, but wholey do I have a serious lack of patience! This past week, maybe 2 weeks, my patience has gone from moderate to pretty much non-existent! This wouldn't be such a problem if I weren't a stay-at-hom mommy to a 3.5 year old. But I just can't keep my cool. I try, I try very hard because I don't want him to have to deal with the brunt of this pregnancy, but some times I just can't help it. I have never really been one to raise my voice, but recently, our house has gotten pretty loud to be completely honest. I know we all raise our voices from time to time, it's to be expected pregnant or not, but I feel worse doing it when I am pregnant. Does that make any sense??
I am nearing the end of this pregnancy, I am due June 20th, and I am sure that has something to do with my lack of patience. You know, being uncomfortable, anxious, nervous, etc.
I'm not alone am I?!

Not alone!

Just today I was like, 'Man I need some more patience and to just CHILL the freak out.' Every little thing was setting me off. So I'm making a conscious effort, after my girls wake up from naps, to just be pleasant and soft-voiced. That's all we can do.

I don't know how it feels to be pregnant with a toddler, but I know my last month of pregnancy was the worst!  I would cry because I felt bad feeling negative about everything because it is supposed to be a happy time.  For me, I was experiencing a lot of swelling and I was extremely tired, so it was more physical stuff that got to me.  All I can tell you is the second I delivered my baby, it was such a sigh of relief - I finally got to meet her and I wasn't pregnant anymore! LOL.  I know you've been pregnant before so you know some of this already, but I just know the last month of my pregnancy was definitly the worst.  I think your feelings are definitly normal and all I can say is hang in there - it will be worth it!
