Mom, look away!
This is my house. This is my house on pregnancy.
It feels good to show you how my house looks right now. Like, a load off my chest-- my house is kinda a wreck! There, I said it!
Actually my life feels like a wreck, in only the way a life does when you're 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant. And uncomfortable. And unmotivated. And grumpy. And tired. And sleepless. And weepy.
I'm not sure if I was like this at the end of my other pregnancies. I'd like to go ahead and assume I am feeling extra pregnant this time for a few reasons:
- I have a preschooler and a toddler.
- I live overseas and daily tasks take a lot more time, energy, and brainpower (my brain feels burnt out on my second language!)
- This is the third time my body has swelled to epic proportions in just three and a half years.
I'm not complaining. OK, maybe just a smidgen... I know there are women who would give an arm to feel every second of 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant. As much as I am drained and ready to be un-pregnant because I'm miserable, I am totally stoked when I think about holding Dooodlebug, dressing him in baby blue, snuggling a sweet little newborn, introducing him to his siblings... {sigh} If only I could fast-forward a wee bit and get to the good stuff!
Since I am mom-fessing the state of my house today, I must also brag a little bit. This morning I made cinnamon rolls for the family and cut up fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast, I let the Bugs paint for our preschool art time this morning, and I cooked a lunch for the kids and myself that did not include peanut butter or jelly. So, I'm not a total mommy loser!
