feeling really sad…

but i know it’s just because i’m really tired. i’ve been up the last two nights for several hours in the middle of the night. yesterday i took the time to organize the office/playroom and today i got a bunch done in the baby’s room. Yesterday I actually went back to sleep for about an hour and survived the day okay. Today, though, i never went back to sleep and i just did the typical munchfest during my son’s nap. i just feel so blue about that. i feel like i will always be this giant tired eater. if i can’t stop now while i have every reason to be kind ot my body, why would i stop later. i know more tiredness is sure to come with the baby and yet i choose this old habit over and over again. so bummed about that. i couldn’t nap earlier as my son wouldn’t fall asleep and by the time he did i was awake. now it’s too late in teh day for naps. a friend is coming over soon to cook some more soup together, so that will certainly be fun and give me a jolt. i have to hobble over to the kitchen and unload dishwasher and clean up so we can cook. okay, feeling slightly better. i will try and avoid snackfest tonight since i already overindulged…this no exercise or even movement is killing me, too. i really shouldn’t be on my feet at all…i feel like one more week of resting my foot and it will be better…sorry to be a bummer - just the no sleep talking with the aid of the chocolate oats and cheese popcorn…

for a baby update - still wiggling in there and having stronger feelings at times. I believe it will be a little while before the little one makes an appearance - so exciting! one of my best friends back in CA had a baby girl last night!

    Take care of yourself. Try not to feel low about things and have a backup option planned for your son’s nap tomorrow to stop you snacking. I know it is hard, especially with the foot and being pregnant, but take it easy and be thankful for the small stuff. Have fun making soup with your friend, and try and get plenty of rest tonight.

    *perk*

    Did someone say cheese popcorn????? *runs over to Debbie’s house and bolts the door again Anj and Kama* mwaaaahahaha

    I do believe when you have this baby and your “hormones” return to normal state, you will have much more energy and be better able to handle those munchfests with some finesse.

    It’s tough these last few weeks of pregnancy. PLEASE don’t get so down on yourself, k?

    Huggggggggggggggggs,

    You can do it. You have done it before and you will do it again…it is weird how some of the most important things dont motivate us

    So what if you ate. The world did not stop and people did not point fingers at you saying how shameful it was.

    If you had a friend nearing the day of labor and she confided in you that she ate stuff while being anxious and not able to exercise, what would you say? You would hug her and say that prolonging her anxiety with negative self-talk is not helping.

    I remember at the end of my pregnancy I thought that it would go on forever - giant, tired eater with an enormous stomach and little energy. Just wait. It will get better.

    I munched the same way at the end of my pregnancy. Hang in there. It is but a moment in time. My brothers wife just had their third son today and my cousins wife is in Labor today in the same town. WOW…baby boom!
