I'm too tired to be anything but concise, so:

I am 32.5 weeks pregnant. I'm uncomfortable, stressed and in quite a bit of pain most of the time. I'm pretty hormonal and I think I'm depressed. My house is a disaster. I have a very spirited three-year-old boy who is suddenly Mr. Bigshot Wannabe and isn't obeying well or going particularly easy on me. I'm lonely, I have very few real friends and those who are my friends are way too busy to spend time with me or even really hold a phone conversation. (Most of my support is online, either through e-mail or forums like this one.) And my husband is leaving first thing tomorrow for 2 1/2 days in TX, and worst of all (ha) he is taking the computer with him, so I will be essentially cut off from adult interaction and emotional support during this time. And the forecast is for rain, which will limit the amount of time I can have my son outside playing, which makes things that much worse.

Nearly three days. Alone with a three year old. No help. No breaks. No computer (which is my main source of adult interaction other than DH). No sanity. I am genuinely scared of how I'm going to handle this. Please, please be praying for me during this time. I probably won't be able to check in, so just PRAY. Thank you. I know this probably seems pathetic, but I don't care. I'm just really, really dreading the next 60 hours.

I will offer my next few days up for you Philothea. My husband is out of town the rest of the week. (that is why I am up at this hour!) I know how rough it can be. I am praying right now...

I will definitely be praying for you...these times are hard, but it does get better, I promise. 3 is a tough age, I've always found.
Don't feel like you have to accomplish anything around the house. Even if the forecast is rain, consider letting ds play outside anyway for a change of pace. Maybe followed by a really long play bath?
But I will pray....

You're in my prayers. I'm going up your way this morning for my appt. Call me cell phone and maybe we can stop by. I'd love to see you and your little guy.

God bless you.

Oh, Philothea! Sending prayers and hugs! May the Holy Spirit sustain you and give you patience, and may our Blessed Mother be a real and *very present* comfort to you in these days. This is my prayer for you.
