Much Needed Weekend

I have never felt soooo tired in a while. On Sat., I woke up and I couldn’t even get out of bed, I tried to sleep but of course having an awake toddler, sleep is impossible. My body ached and felt so restless. Oh man. On Sunday I got to take a nap, but still was exhausted most of the day. Couldn’t get myself to do dishes from the night before and cook a single meal. L I definitely didn’t feel this way when I was pregnant with Emma, but of course I didn’t have a toddler to take care of either. Maybe since work is so super slow my body is also moving slower. Now I can’t wait until this girl arrives!

I have been pretty quiet this past weekend and I think my husband realized I am actually so tired that I don’t even want to bother talking. He has been understanding and has been trying to help out more. Luckily Emma’s fever went away and she is sleeping better. Her cough is better too. But she is having her fits and tantrums more frequently these days. I’m sure she realizes there is something happening to me.

On another note, despite my exhaustion I managed to start packing my hospital bag. I washed and packed the baby’s clothes and my clothes. I don’t remember what else I really need other than toiletries. With Emma I packed a whole bunch of things that I ended up not even using because the hospital provided most of the things and I didn’t mind using them. This time I’m going to narrow things down and pack light. One thing I missed the first time that I will not miss this time around is packing snacks!  I can’t believe the first time I didn’t bring any snacks. After not being able to eat for 15-16 hrs, after delivery I was starving…unfortunately it was so late at night (around 1-2am) the hospital didn’t have much to offer. The food was horrible. Anyways maybe after I’m done packing I’ll do a hospital bag post!
