During this pregnancy I have lost the get up and go. I used to be super active with my kids and now....not so much.I have had hyperemesis...which is getting better now. And I have a separated pelvic bone which makes walking and lifting difficult. I have no patience.
I put dd2 in a preschool two mornings a week (total 7 hours a week) she loves it and they do alot of the fun stuff we used to do all the time...baking, painting, playground, nature walks, playdough etc.
I am just BLAH....I am so tired and really don't feel like doing much....and feel like my kids are missing out. And I have this feeling of being overwhelmed with the to do list that seems to get longer instead of shorter......
I just wish I had more patience and energy.
I have felt like this, too, during this pregnancy. I have not had any major complications but just being tired and working full time have been enough for me to defer many parenting responsibilities to DH while pregnant and I do feel guilty napping while he plays with DD, but I have explained to her that mama's tired, growing a baby takes a lot of energy and I have tried to accept that and not beat myself up. Just think of how things will go back to (new) normal and you'll be the same mom you were before after the baby. Don't worry mama, we've all been there at one time or another!
Finally I am over it, but I am 28 weeks, so now I have no sleep and aches and pains and have probably even amount of bad and good days instead of all bad now.
