Okay, so I am pregnant , about 8.5 weeks and feeling like garbage. I am nauseous all the time and it is that bad kind, where you feel like at any given moment you could throw up! Not fun, and walking into the kitchen and serving or preparing food is just awful! I am feeling guilty for having no desire at all to cook! Last night was a late night with babysitting and after we cleaned up , I said joyfully to the kids "we are having cereal!" They were okay with it, they were hoping for tacos! Do any of you out there feel guilty for not doing it all? I know I babysit, so some people may not consider that a real job, however, at the end of the day when all the babysitting children are gone , I am tired! I feel like I need to figure out time to clean, shop, cook , sit down as a family and eat, and get my house organized, oh and play with my kids all in the 3.5 hours before it is time for bed! Weekends are busy with trying to do all the things I don't get done during the week! I think that this is how all working moms feel, I am wondering if that is right! Let me know!
Another thing, being pregnant with the sixth baby, things are popping out a lot faster! I feel like I am 4 months pregnant with the belly to prove it! I will post a picture and you can see! When I get pregnant about month 4 my ribs will start to hurt daily and all day at that! Guess what? They are starting to hurt now! Oh dear!!! Time for laying on the hard ground, this is the only way to make them feel better!
Kids are coming today for babysitting of course, it is thursday and everyone else is sleeping. I am hoping today is lots of fun, after 3 straight days of rain, the kids are stir crazy! I am stir crazy! I hope as I do everyday, that I love them all enough. I hope that they all know I am so glad they are here, babysitting and my own. I want them to have fun and look forward to each day and go home or go to bed with joy in their heart and the knowledge that today they were loved. My sister in law Cindy once told me that when a child does something wrong that all they need is to know you love them and forgive them. She told me that before I had any children and it really has stuck with me! We all make mistakes and we all just need to know that we are loved!
Okay, one last thing. I am going to start keeping track of what we eat! A lot of people have asked me how I do my menu and meals..... I will be posting my menu and then the reality of sticking to the menu! Hopefully it will be entertaining and maybe a little helpful! I also will be posting more of the recipes. Let me know if you think this will be something you would like to see!!!!! Make it your best day yet!
Oh I'd love to see it! I'm always looking for new recipes for my family. Of course Rick does all the cooking since he gets home before I do, but it would be fun to learn new things and maybe try them out on the 2 half days I get a week!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry this pregnancy seems to be a little (or maybe even a lot!) rougher on you. Grant....my #4 and last one....was my hardest. It was the most uncomfortable and most painful of them all. Even for the delivery! Of course he came too fast for the epidural but thankfully it was FAST! I hope things get a little easier for you and just remember...you're MOM. Not SUPERMOM. You're going to have down days that you're not feeling good and you need to just try to take it easy those days. It's your body's way of saying, "Hey! You're doing too much and I can't keep up! I need a break!"
I love ya and miss ya and sooooo wish I was there to lend a helping hand! Of course you could always move down here where spring time comes in Mar and winter comes in Dec :) Then I'd be closer too and could help out!! :) Just a thought :P
