Running Out Of Steam
To quote a funny movie, Drop Dead Gorgeous, “I’m like, due or something.” That’s the response that’s been popping into my head whenever my husband wants to make plans for our family. I am 38 weeks pregnant, and I don’t feel like doing anything. I just want to lay in bed, get up to eat, then lay in bed some more. And I do sleep when I’m laying down, so I must be tired and needing the sleep. But this is weird for me. I haven’t been bored in years, and now I feel bored, not because I have nothing to do but because I don’t feel like doing anything. It’s so annoying! There is so much to do around the house to get ready for the baby, and I don’t feel like doing any of it. On top of that, I feel badly not having the desire to entertain my 4 kids, but luckily they’re very good at self-entertaining and their oldest sister has been amazing with spending fun time with them every day while I rest. But I don’t remember feeling like this with my other pregnancies. I do feel tired, but this lack-of-motivation-to-do-anything thing is getting old! Then again, this is the first pregnancy I’ve had being in my 30’s. Maybe that has something to do with it?
