I mainly just want to complain to someone who can understand. I’m suddenly nauseous and exhausted again today. So many good days with none of this last week. I was starting to feel normal. Silly me.
I’m getting a little nervous about our international trip in a few weeks after today because I want to feel well enough to enjoy it 🤪😭🤞🏻

Here’s my vent. I’m tired of being tired. The fatigue is slightly better than it was now that I’m in the second trimester, but shit, making another person is hard. I felt much worse during my pregnancy with DD, but I didn’t have a small toddler to take care of. I’m also dreading going to work tomorrow because it’s exhausting.

My pregnancies have both been easy but I’ve hit the point with this one where I’m over it at almost 36 weeks.
We had a fun long weekend at the cottage, but DD and my two nephews exhausted me (ages 6,4,3) and my parents, who did the majority of childcare. They get along great but we did so many activities and I slept like hell in the camper. DH wants to go back up for the Labour Day long weekend at the start of September and I don’t know if I can do it. Not helping is the fact that I have developed really painful carpal tunnel in my left hand and wrist. I’m hoping that I just slept on it funny in the camper and it’s not something worse.
So tonight I’m trying to do laundry, DD is a hot mess since she’s overtired, and DH is all cranky and sore from wake boarding and tubing and I have less than zero empathy for him. I lost it on him at bedtime when he yelled at DD over nothing. Parents of the year here.
DD’s 4th bday is next weekend and the week after that she starts JK. I have not prepped the baby’s room yet and work is going to be insane for both DH and I through the end of August. Ugh. I need someone to come out and help me get shit done for like 2 days.
DH is also pissy at me since I shut down his idea of hosting a housewarming party 5 days ahead of my due date and the same weekend as my cousin’s wedding (party on Friday, wedding on Saturday was his plan). Yeah, I’m not cleaning the shit out of my house to have 30+ people over, having them trash the place, and meeting a bunch of your new work friends when I am 39 weeks pregnant DH. I also don’t want to have to crawl into bed in my own house at 10pm with lots of strangers here so that I can look decent and hopefully have fun at my cousin’s wedding the next day (it will be a ceremony at 4 and straight into dinner event. If we leave after dinner no one will bat an eye since I will be 39 WEEKS PREGNANT). And I mean, if we don’t make it my cousin doesn’t care. She knows I will give her a decision a week in advance if I can. I’m not cool with inviting people over to our house and then cancelling on them if you know, I go into labour. DD was born on her due date so chances are I won’t go late.
aprilsails no way in hell would I host a bunch of people 39 weeks pregnant. DH would get smacked into next week with my eyes if he asked me that.
I am also tired of being tired. 14.5 weeks and have a cold or something that’s making me extra stuffed up (we flew last week so probably picked something up) so hopefully once this passes I’ll have more energy. I feel like I have all this stuff I need to do around the house and no energy to actually accomplish any of it.
A man suggesting a housewarming party at 39 weeks pregnant is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Especially with a second baby because it’s not exactly unheard of for second babies to come on their own around that time.
I was a hazard to my own health yesterday. I burnt my hand on the oven rack getting muffins out and then the steak knife slipped out of my hands stabbing me in the belly. Luckily it was a superficial cut from the point and no real damage. I passed my glucose test but showed I'm anemic. That explains why my head is in such a fog.
