You know i wouldn't ask if its normal or not. Cuz well...that is just how it landed for you. Wow, lots of babies. You know obviously God must think you are one strong woman for giving you all of this to do in one year. Enjoy your baby, have fun with the litters, Good luck and congrats on the wedding and look at it this way. At least June 1st isn't tomorrow.

that is a lot to go through. what you should think about doing so you can take some work off of you r shoulders is get babysitter for your baby maybe 2 or 3 days of the week. you should not have to worry about the kittens because they can pretty much take care of themselves, well with their mother. so just take everything one step at a time and do things one at a time. if i were you i would probably plan the weddinga ways down the road when all of the other stuff is over; your baby will be older, the puppies and kittens will be older, and your house thing will be all set.

Sounds about right. As the saying goes, life is what happens while we are making other plans!
The kittens will be fine with their mom, but your man should help you with the puppies, and when they are old enough they all need other homes and you should spay the mommies. You don't need any more mouths to feed and take care of with a baby in the house.
Good luck!

Find an animal lover to handle some of those puppy feedings! Delegate EVERYTHING!!!!! Go now, make a list of who needs to do what, and don't be shy about asking for help! Then, sit down and breathe. Or cry (or eat an entire chocolate bar and sob over greeting card commercials). You're still running on hormones from birth and milk production, so you can get through this!

Haha good for you! It is normal for you and you should be proud that you are handling it all. Its not easy to raise a kid, much less do it with everything else that is going on in your life. So don't worry about if you are being normal or not because really 'normal' is just a cycle on the washing machine. The most important thing is your family and making sure they are loved and cared for - and it sounds like you are doing that! So good luck with everything and enjoy the new baby!!!

I don't think you are crazy OR dumb. However this is too much...at least it would be for me. I believe in keeping it SIMPLE! Some people are great at juggling several major things all at once...my sister for example. You sound just like her.
Believe me, when it's too much, someone or something will suffer. I've seen it time and time again. Personally I couldn't live with that. This isn't a judgement, just something I've witnessed many times and don't want happening to me. Life is too short, take it easy!

No, it's not normal! Each one of the things you are going through would be stressful on it's own.
You are going to go crazy at this rate! How are you handling it all?
With a newborn, you should try to limit all those other distractions, like planning a wedding, buying a house, etc.
If you can keep your sanity and do all these things, you must be superwoman!

You may be crazy or just a little stupid. Why would you put yourself into this predicament? You better downsize. Get rid of the cats and dogs. You will have a break down. Also how does your future husband feel about all this drama. Is he willing to help? If not your in deep poop.

You are not going crazy nor are you just being dumb. Life can be stressful sometimes but believe me that is quite nice what you got. It will so become worst but hang in there. Try asking for help. Maybe get a babysitter. Once you hang on, ever hing Will be just fine trust me.
