Over did it

[Teachermama]

My DH is a cross country coach for our school. They had a HUGE meet today and I went. I am regretting that now. We came home about 3 and I took a 3 hour nap. I dont think I can do these meets.. they require getting up at 415 to meet tge bus and the kids at 530 then driving for an hour or two.. running around catching different kids at different race times. I felt ok there but now I am hurting and tired. Im coughing and feel like I am coming down with something... my feet are swollen...

Tell me its ok to miss these things. I feel horrible to miss them. I love those kids.

It's ok to miss them!

That's a lot for you to take on and I'm sure they'll understand.

I'd skip the meets. Drop by the practice the day before the meets, and wish them luck.

It's better to miss some things instead of overdoing it on your body, for sure. The kids will understand, you and babies health has to come first!

I know we come first. I missed thr first one so I tried this one. Maybe ill go to ones that are smaller and maybe closer but not the big ones.

our coach was totally devoted to our xc team in high school, as were several volunteer parents and asst coaches. we never saw the coach's wife. how sweet that you usually attend and support!

don't sweat it. it sounds like you've "shown up" a lot over the years and i bet they love you back. you're 3rd trimester pregnant-- even teens understand the need to slow down for that
