Cards on the table, we could use some help
6 years ago
Hey....I rarely log in here, as I usually just monitor kandlin's page to try to address issues that arise there. BUT, things are less than great on our end, and so I am asking for help. I don't like asking for help, but my body has gone a bit crazy with pregnancy, and kandlin is the one who is suffering for it. So, fuck it, I will ask for help. I set up a gofundme with way too much rambling information: https://www.gofundme.com/we-need-sleep
The short of it is, This pregnancy has been a lot more complicated than the first time, all attempts to build up a financial cushion to take a couple of weeks off have been thwarted by my body being crazy. a couple trips to the ER, kandlin having to take on more toddler duties so less time for catching up on art, or unexpected random expenses like diabetic testing supplies which were a bit of a shock on all fronts. Thankfully the last one finally got taken care of, but not until we were out a nice chunk for having to have them "right now" according to the doctor.
regardless, the love of my life, wonderful husband and father, and all around cool guy, who has terrible social skills, aka: kandlin, is working 8+ hours a day, 6 days a week, trying to keep up, and I would like for him to be able to take a short break from having to work on art, so that he can get some rest while we acclimate to our new addition. Who will be arriving on or before June 5th.
I would rather ask our families for help, but that is not an option at this time.
If you feel like contributing, It would be much appreciated. If you feel like doing a signal boost, it would be much appreciated. If you just want to send well wishes because you are too broke to help out...still appreciated. I just feel like my body is the one that went haywire, and I want to try to help out where I can, so I set this up. It will run until our daughter is born, any help or well-wishes are appreciated. I am terrible at asking for help though, so lame presentation is lame.

At least you have a good physician who can tell you when you actually and truly DO need things like diabetic testing supplies, because NOT having that when you need it can be really, really, REALLY bad. I've seen so many couples go through absolute tragedy because they didn't 'bother with' proper prenatal care. It is good to see that you are properly taking care of yourself.
And please... try not to stress too hard. I know, it's one of those stupid phrases that generally pisses people off, but serious time here... stress isn't good for you or the new one. Take time out of your day to simply relax and de-stress. It could be deep cleansing breaths, it could be meditation, it could be something as simple as a five minute snuggle with your husband. Whatever it is... it is just as important as anything else you are doing to stay healthy.
Well wishes and good vibes your way...
On the positive side, Iz is happy and healthy, The Bean is Healthy and....well...jealous. And kandlin and I both dearly miss sleep. I got 4 consecutive hours last night, which is the most I have gotten in 2 months. kandlin is staying up later to get work done, so he has only been able to get 2 or so hours at a time.
I am able to help out a bit more around the house with laundry and dishes, but still not for long periods of time due to both taking care of tiny Iz, and hurting like hell. But, so far we have all survived, and I don't think we have screwed the kids up too much, so...Win!
