Venting. Sorry.
Lemme just apologize in advance. I never really vent, and I would feel super bad about venting to DH right now as he is working so hard for us and traveling a lot. So, forgive me in advance.
Girls, I have had it.
I am 29 weeks now, and I know I am so blessed to be carrying this little one, and I am thankful every day, but I am just worn out. I am in a lot of pain in my back and hips, am totally short of breath, my nasuea has come back full force, and there is no end to my level of tiredness.
I can technically stop working at the end of the month, but I am a teacher and we have some really high stakes testing coming up the third week of May, and I really should stay until that is done. But it hurst to even get up from my desk and walk around. I get short of breath just standing up to write on the board.
I go to the chiropracter once a week, I practice yoga when I can, and I try to relax on the weekends, but moms of toddlers - you know how that is! :-)
I don't know. I just wish I could be excused from work now I guess. DH would let me, but I need the income and insurance until the end of the month. Baby number one was NOT this challenging.

Vent away!! I feel the same way. I can't do chores or pick Bella up and walk with almost passing out. I am sooo tired and the nausea has never went away. I am always short of breath which makes me want to cry. Bella's pregnancy was bad but not this bad! But I am VERY excited and happy to be feeling the flutters!! I am very happy to be having another baby!!

Thanks. I feel bad for Lydia, too. No way am I as fun as I usually am. We play a lot of trains and blocks on the floor lately and I try to take her to the park after work when i am not too exhausted, but that means running all over the play equipment after that wild child, Ha! Sorry you aren't feeling too hot, either.
Don't apologize!!! Your feelings are legitimate! I'm not working and I feel your pain...my first pregnancy was not half as trying as this one and my 3 1/2 year old has been really testing my patience lately as he has started this new, regressive playing-the-baby phase...
You are obviously one of the gems in today's education system...you truly care about your students' success. However, you should keep the health of you and your baby at the forefront, IMHO. Take care of yourself! :)
