It was all I could do to muster up the energy to bathe myself. Between the constant "eat, eat, eat, yum, yum" coming out of HUT - ALL DAY LONG (I swear you'd think that I starve this kid with how skinny he is, yet all. he. does. is. eat.) - and my absolute lethargy, combined with overall physical uncomfort, I was a wreck. And, yes, I do realize that I'm only 16 weeks in.
Tears? They came. For no reason. So therefore I cried more because I really had no idea what I was even crying about. Oh, hormones, how I love thee.
So today I'm hoping to turn things around a bit. I'm going to get my butt in gear, get us out of this house and have a better day than yesterday. Because I want to, so it shall be that way.

Boy can I relate! I can't count the times that I've broken down in tears for no reason, or in hindsight a very ridiculous reason. True story: I found a skin tag on our dog and convinced myself he was dying of doggie melanoma. Then I hysterically called my husband at work while bawling; he had to come home and literally scrape me off the floor. I can't imagine doing this with another little one in tow!
ReplyDeleteBut you're right, I find that the days I force myself to do my hair, put on a little makeup and get out of the house--even for just a trip to the grocery store or a walk around the block--end up being better, or at least less tearful days.
Here's hoping better days are ahead for both of us. Hang in there! :)
Ahhh I remember those days all too well still :) hoping things get better for you! I'm absolutely terrified to be pregnant with a toddler in tow.
ReplyDeleteI could have written this post verbatim about my current life! We literally can't keep enough food in our house to satisfy carter, which terrifies me because he's only 2, what the heck am I going to do when he's a teenager? And just as I thought the first trimester nastiness was going away, I've feel like I've been hit by a bus after minimal physical exertion. I've been so beat down that my mom made me ask my dr about iron levels. And what's up with waddling already?? Good god, I know it's the second baby, but how the hell am I going to make it to the first of the year if I'm already this uncomfortable?? Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy....
ReplyDeleteoh man, it sounded really rough! i would have cried also. hope the next day was better!
