I think a lot of my life has been this way but especially the last 3 months at 35 weeks pregnant, I broke my leg, had to quit my job, 2 weeks later, my husband got laid off and a week later we found out my dad’s cancer has spread yet again, this time to his lungs…this was also when my 1st son’s dad decided he won’t be with him in the mornings either so I had to take care of a toddler (who only speaks russian and so my husband can’t always speak to him as he only speaks english) with a brace on my foot and 60 lbs more on my frame…and i started dilating (aka went into labor) 2 weeks prior to my due date and continued to be in this terrible pain all the way through actual labor…then the baby was born with fluid in lungs and had to be in the NICU as my other son got sick with a virus…right around all of this, I just about lost it…how did I respond to it? by crying in the bathtub, by worrying, by sticking to my gut instincts…with my husband, i can handle anything, truly
