The Tired

Twenty weeks.  Twenty weeks, people.  Halfway there. Only two more days (two! more! days!!!!) until I find out if this kiddo is a boy or a girl.  But I’m so tired, I almost can’t even get excited. (Ok, that’s a lie. But I am. SO. tired.)

And I’m only halfway there!  How am I gonna make it through the rest of this pregnancy?  I got very little rest on vacation, thanks to the kids sleeping in the same room with us (Sophie at 3 a.m.: “What? Mommy, Daddy, and Joshua are ALL HERE?  Let’s PARTY!  Let’s jump on some air mattresses or poop our pants or something!) and a schedule of family fun.  And now I seriously feel like I got hit by a TRUCK.  Tonight a friend of mine stopped by about 8:15 and said, “Wow, you look like you are feeling really bad.”

I had a look in the mirror. I couldn’t argue.

All you lovely ladies who just loooove being pregnant, who feel so GREAT during the 2nd trimester, I don’t get you.  Oh how I wish I did.

Twenty more weeks.  Crossing my fingers for nineteen.  And maybe a little rest between now and then.

  1. Sorry that you’re tired. I have been, too…but I’m blaming it on the 3 other kids not in mah belly!

    Also? TWO!MORE!DAYS!!!!!!!!! Squee!!!!!!

  2. Oh, Jenny…I feel for you. I am soooo not a good pregnant person either. I really don’t understand those women that say they felt like a million bucks while pregnant. WHAT THE…..?!? Who ARE these people!! Crazies, I tell ya! We are actually taking some EXTRA precautions lately. Your little “surprise” has woken me up to the possibility the NO ONE is immune. And, not that I don’t want to end up like you….well, yeah. That’s it actually….I REALLY don’t want to end up like you!! haha! Sorry, hon! God bless the babies, but I’ve had mine, and I am soooo done. I really hope you are feeling better soon. Have you felt movement yet? Maybe that and knowing which ‘flavor’ is coming out will help take the edge off soon. I know it’s not much. But, I can always come cook for you sometime. That is something I’m actually good at, so don’t hesitate to call me if you have a taste for something but don’t have the energy to make it. Or I can always help stock your freezer for later. I’m terrible with the cleaning, but good in the kitchen. Let me know if you desire my services. 🙂

  3. I’ve never understood those glowing pregnant women who say they’ve never felt better. I felt like something was sucking my life force. I have never felt a tired like that – and the fact that I was that tired and couldn’t sleep? Cruel. Hope your next 20 weeks are pretty good and you get some sleep!
