[quote=Anonymous]My mom just called saying her visa was denied. We have no family or friends in the country and #2 is due in 4 weeks. Now what?  :(

It was the same way the first time around... they denied her visa and somehow we survived bringing DC1 home and getting started at "parenthood". DH went back to work after 4 weeks (he travels for work) and somehow here we are, DH is home 3 days a week and away 4 days in a row. He's been interviewing for local jobs but no offers just yet.

Please share with me what all you think will help us go through the first few weeks of adjustment as a family of 4... DH will be home for 3 weeks, DC1 will be 22 months old.

We live in a 2 bedroom apartment and plan to stick with what we did when #1 arrived:

-Freeze meals ahead of time
-Cleaning crew coming once a week taking care of everything including laundry
-No visitors for the first few weeks
-I have a mother's helper who can come after school to play with DD. She comes once a week now and I plan to have her over more often once #2 is here

DC1 has the nursery and DC2 will be in the co-sleeper with us in the master bedroom.

What can you tell me to help me feel better about doing this all alone? I'm so upset right now...  :| [/quote]
