Ridiculously exhausted

I am dead exhausted. My youngest got up at 4 this morning and just now went down for a nap. I'm hoping that since he was up so early, today will be a 2 nap day. I know that I am going to lay down for a nap myself once he goes to sleep. I also seem to be having a break from the prodromal labor today, thank God. Either my body said it had enough or it's gearing up for the real deal. Either way, I am thankful for the break. I have been constantly in the bathroom to pee this morning. I'll take a drink and within 5 minutes I have to go. I'm also still having very watery diarrhea, and despite drinking plenty of water, I still feel dehydrated. I drank almost 3 gallons of water yesterday and I'm on the same track today. Food does not sound appealing at all, but I'm making myself eat something every 2 hours, even if it's just some crackers and cheese. I can not wait for my appointment tomorrow. Fingers crossed for progress or labor before then. I am in so much pain and I am so worn out. I don't recall feeling like this with any of my other pregnancies and it is a horrible feeling. I am so done and I hate feeling this way. =/ Either way, it won't be long before Valerie is in my arms and that will make all this worth it a million fold.

	Comment from Cattsmeow » Posted Nov. 11, 2015 2:52pm Pbc, I managed a short nap while my 1 year old napped earlier. Planning on laying down for awhile when my husband gets home. I had a bout of vomitting and it triggered some contractions. I have my 38 week appointment tomorrow morning, so I should know if my doc will induce next Tuesday or possibly earlier. Either way, I hope it's well before the 24th when she gets here. I am ready to be myself again.

(Kuz don't ya know, water cures everything in the military? Lol.) And the cheese and crackers are the only thing I have been able to keep down today. I will be happy when my stomach finally settles and I can keep something else down.
	Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Nov. 11, 2015 9:25am Sorry you so exhausted! Enjoy that nap! Glad the prodromal labor has stopped! Three gallons of water!?!? I'd be floating, lol. Sorry you're in so much pain but you so close! Hopefully it happens soon for you. As soon as I saw the words "cheese and crackers" my mouth started salivating, haha.
