Pregnancy Tidbits

I'm approaching the third trimester (Am I? Is it 27 or 28 weeks? You'd think I'd know by now) and it's wearing on me. I'm getting very tired. It's no mystery why; This is my THIRD pregnancy in a very short time and my body is getting quite worn out. Not to mention the fact that Sloane isn't walking yet, which means I carry her for a better part of the day.

However, this has probably been the pregnancy I've most enjoyed, even with the sickness. I think it might have to do with the fact that I'm getting quite sure there aren't going to be many more pregnancies after this one. I've kinda just given in and let myself get very fat and happy.

I think my kids have enjoyed me more in the last couple of weeks then they have in a long time.

*You wanna eat crackers for breakfast? Sure!

*You wanna drink all the water in the bathtub? Why not?! That sounds really hydrating!

*You wanna order pizza and lay around in my room while watching movies all night long?! No argument here!

Sometimes we load everyone up in the Volvo and just drive with the windows down and the music up. The girls love it.

There's one mistake I ALWAYS make when I'm pregnant. It's something I don't realize until I'm done with the pregnancy. I always wish I would've let myself get away with more. During pregnancy, I find myself saything things like, "You don't need a nap" "You shouldn't let that go" "Nope, not gonna eat that" "Pregnancy is not an excuse to not fold the laundry"..... the list goes on. I spend the entire pregnancy beating myself up because I'm not the person I am when not pregnant.

But that's just it. I am NOT the same person. My energy is drained and my body is worn down. (Back-to-back pregnancy worn down).

Because this pregnancy was a HUGE shock, I decided that it could be my ultimate excuse. I was going to take lots of naps. Yep, I am gonna eat that. Laundry can wait. That will just have to wait until after the pregnancy is over.

I was going to let myself be exhausted and that's exactly what I've done.

And you know what???

BEST. PREGNANCY. EVER.
