130 Days to Go!

I really am trying to slow down and enjoy this pregnancy since, as far as my opinion goes, it'll be my last one (sometimes God has other plans...) but I'm struggling. I'm still getting really tired but now it's mostly from not sleeping well. I've recently found some relief in spooning a bamboo pillow but, with DeWayne gone on military business, I'm constantly on duty. For those of you who don't have an overactive four-almost-five-year-old, it's exhausting. And most kids begin to get the thousand-yard stare and zone out when they get tired but Sebastian's a unique animal. He revs up even more, running on fumes. Needless to say, he doesn't get that from me. So we're constantly going full throttle until the lights are off and we pass out. After a full day of running errands and apparently nesting, I'm feeling a bit like a zombie. *Sigh* As if that wasn't enough, my brother, my son's godfather, is in the hospital with a suspected stroke at 33 years old. His wife is the one who just got pregnant through IVF and this is less than two months after the death of our older brother. Definitely not what I need right now... Thanks for letting me vent, even though I'm sure I'm not alone in my suffering.
As I mentioned above, I suspect I am nesting. I never did it with my son but something odd is obviously happening here... It started with scrubbing my mantel and fireplace and escalated to rearranging a few rooms of my house and shampooing all of my carpets... I've nearly run out of things to wash, fold, and organize. For goodness sake, I spent our last beautiful day cleaning and vacuuming out my car. I'm so tired but it's like I can't stop myself. Does that sound like normal nesting to you? Whatever it is, DeWayne will be tickled about it when he gets home. *Chuckle*
The picture is of my angel last night at Spooky Science Night at his elementary school, just one of the many activities I get to manage solo while hubby does his thing.

 | Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 12:46pm I feel like my time is dragging until I sent a post like this with over100 days to go still. Hang in there with that positive attitude about enjoying your pregnancy. I wish I felt more that way, but I just want it to be January!! I'm nesting that freakishly as well. You're not alone!! |
