Same here. I stood for over an hour in line at a visitation last night. Then there were so many people I haven't seen in a very long time who wanted to talk about the baby and etc... I was exhausted and sore by the time I left. The funeral today was almost 2 hours long. I was pretty uncomfortable by the end as well.
I don't have a job, and I'm not actively looking at the moment; I'm waiting until after she get's here.
I've been doing a lot of blogging stuff and that's kept me fairly busy (and keeps me from wanting to kill time shopping or something), and it doesn't cost me anything, plus I get free stuff sometimes to review, so it's a win win.
Other than that, just getting final things ready for the baby (20 days until my due date!)

I can't believe you are already 37 weeks kelle! So soon!
I know the exhausted feeling. 2.0 is doing the normal wake up every few hours gig of a 4 month old, when he had been sleeping relatively through the night. This combined with C's 6am calls of mooooooom, does not make for a well rested Gadget. I just started 2 classes, which meet 14 hours a week, and am trying to finish up a third class by the end of the month. Doesn't leave a lot of "me" time and I've been feeling overwhelmed.
DH's current job ends this week and he has some job prospects but nothing locked in. I'm looking forward to him being home on a temporary basis so I can get a break from the kiddos and hopefully get more school and house work done.

I started back to work a couple of weeks ago. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. G is terribly upset by it and bedtime is a nightmare. Then she gets up a couple of times during the night to see if I'm still home. I've cut back my hours so I'm only gone like half a day now, but it's still hard.
I've been having a lot of BH pretty consistently around the clock. It's making me cranky. My a/s is next week, and I'm really excited to check up on 3.0. I'm hopeful things are going well because I'm feeling movement daily now.

gogadgetgo I know! I'm constantly sore from walking. Even around the grocery store is tough. I don't sleep more than a few hours a night (although the perk to not working at the moment is I can sleep in longer than I normally would).
I hope you can get a break soon, even if it is short term.
bugandbibs I'm saying another girl, but I'm terrible at guessing. Movement always makes me feel better. She moves less now, so sometimes I still get nervous.

I never sit still either. I get up at 6, we leave at 7. Work 8-5 and get home at 5:30/5:45. I chase my kids around all evening. Get home, make/eat dinner, play with them an hour and then it's time to start bedtime routines. DD goes down at 7:30 and DS at 8:30. By the time I get myself ready for bed it's 9 and I play on my iPad/ watch TV/ talk to DH for 30 minutes to an hour and fall asleep.
