This is getting hard!

Today I promised my 13 yr old dd that I'd take her to the mall to spend her Christmas money and gc that she got yesterday. I woke up with a horrid back ache and hip pain and nausea. This is the first day I've started out needed to rest. Usually I can get through the morning running errands, doing chores, and then after lunch I rest and then after my rest I'm up for more but today I can do nothing but sit on my rear and fold laundry. Walking hurts!

I guess this is normal, I am close to 32 weeks pg and so far this pregnancy has been fairly easy so I kept forgetting that these days are supposed to happen.

I guess I won't make any promises to anyone about going anywhere or doing anything for the rest of the pregnancy. I'll just have to tell them we'll see how I feel.

I am having a day like this as well. I planned on going to the grocery store at 9 a.m. this morning and it is now 1:30! My husband actually drove home from his job because he was trying to call me all morning and got worried when I didn't answer! I was knocked out!

I felt that way this morning too- thankfully I felt much better after I got moving around. How're you feeling?

I am feeling that way lately, I have to sit to fold the laundry, and usually take a bread in between chores, or during chores. My Mil said tonight that it's amazing I have the strength to move around, I seriously move like a turtle by the end of the evening, I just can not do much anymore. ANd Dh still doesn't get it, how may times to I have to be this pregnant for him to get it?

With you mamas! I spent most of my christmas eve in tears after my boss called to yell at me for something done wrong regarding a client (still not sure if I was the one who screwed up-- might have been, but it was just mean to call and scold me when I finally had a day off and could do absolutely nothing about it. Couldn't that have waited until I got back today?) Worked so many hours over the last few weeks that I thought I was going to fall over. I want to make a sign to wear that says "please be nice to me".

It's 10am and I am knackered, knackered, knackered. I've been down to the doctors and that's it for the day. I'm going back to bed.

Before Christmas I told my kids I'd take them after-Christmas shopping today, but luckily they're being very understanding because I'm SICK (cough/congestion) and pretty darn miserable. I guess they figure why not take advantage of being allowed to play, watch movies, and survive on pb&j and whatever else they can scrounge : :

Here it is 1:15 PM and I'm still too tired to go the the store and pick up some yellow dock and liquid chlorophyll to find out if they'll help me feel less tired.
