Exhaustion
So, trying to think of what has been going on in my life, and things that I should blog about, I'm not coming up with much. Just one big thing, that I have been avoiding talking about, and it's getting harder and harder not to bring up, because it really has been the focus of my life this last month or so. What has been going on with me? not much. I'm just pregnant.
I've been pregnant before, this is nothing new, I thought I knew what to expect. I know they say that every pregnancy is different, and yeah, they all have been, but they've been pretty close. This one is different though, and I am not enjoying it. I am tired. So tired. That's pretty much been the focus of my life these last few weeks. When can I get a nap? is it quiet time yet? Are the boys in bed? can I go to bed now? here, watch a movie so I can take another nap. I need to clean my house... nope taking a nap. Should I start on dinner, or try to sleep some more? ummm, sleep it is. As a result, my house is in shambles. I just can't keep up. If I try to be really productive in the morning before I get really tired, I can for a little while, but then I'm ready for a nap early, and I'm so wiped out for the rest of the day that I can barely care for my children. I try to do a little bit here and a little bit there so I don't get too wiped out, but it isn't enough. I don't have enough energy to take the kids to the park, (luckily it has been raining a lot, so they haven't asked). I am just. so. tired. It doesn't help that Isaac has suddenly started getting up in the night again, and won't go back to sleep for an hour or more. All he wants me to do is sit there and rub his back, and if I stop, he just wails.
I really hope this exhaustion doesn't last. I don't know if my family will survive seven more months of this if it does, especially since Dean will be gone for large chunks of it. The idea of a coma is starting to sound nice. I'll just hand my kids off to someone and I'll sleep for seven months. Wake me up when I have a baby. Goodnight.

Um.. congratulations? Sorry you're so tired, but congratulations on the pregnancy. I'm going to bet you're having a girl since it's so different from the others. Let me know if I'm right later.
