I don't remember feeling this way during my other pregnancies. Either I am getting old (which is true) or chasing after two toddlers is finally taking its toll.
Compared to a lot of women, I have amazing pregnancies. They are pretty uneventful. I am pretty blessed that way. Let's be honest, I would not be having 3 under 3 if I had rough pregnancies. It would just be too much.
But I am tired. I feel like I have been pregnant for 3 years. I am definitely over the excitement and joy of pregnancy and I am just ready to move on to the next season of our lives.
These next 8 weeks are going to be long. Winter is not helping either. Having had 2 summer babies, I can say there are pros and cons of each. The biggest con this time is being stuck in the house. We get out often, but it is not easy to bundle 2 toddlers into their jackets and shoes with a big belly in the way. It is exhausting.
Sorry this post is full of complaining. It is just not easy right now and I still have a ways to go, which kind of depresses me. If I am struggling now, what will the next 2 months be like?
I look around my house and just see work that I am too tired to do. Finger prints are everywhere. Crumbs are everywhere. Laundry is piling up. My bed needs to be made. And the list goes on.
I am not sure why I feel so tired this time. I'm blaming it on a few things. Two toddlers top the list. I love them, but they are exhausting. And I think knowing this is my last pregnancy is making this last trimester drag on. Some women really want to savior their last pregnancy, I just want to meet our last family member. Our completer.
Maybe despite all the wet snow we just got, Spring will come a little early and the sunshine will lift my spirits.
I am so excited to meet our little girl. I am so excited to be done being pregnant and to (hopefully) never be pregnant again.
I'm too old for this stuff.
