Telling people you can't do things.

[ringstrue]

DH has been great this pg. He still gets tired and lazy like me but he's been very understanding of my limitations. For instance, I can't bathe DD anymore. Still, my list is really starting to grow and I don't wanna slow him or DD down.

For some reason it feels wrong to say "just you guys go do X." But I feel like a broken record saying "I can't do that" so I'm not sure how to handle it.

I honestly wish I could ride one of those rascals everywhere. I can't walk fast or far or stand still much. I need to go SLOW and I'm hot all the time. Don't I sound like a fun person right now?!?! Lol. My heart is into doing stuff but my body needs to stay on the bench.

I think it's totally to not be that fun for a few months:). Don't feel bad about it.

I'm right there with you, more useless than ever. Lol.

My philosophy: listen to your body... Learned this lesson the hard way. Better to bow out of things than push yourself too far.

I felt guilty especially when it comes to dd. I tried to come up with other things I could do with her. I bought some new board games and brought out DH's old super nintendo which she loved. We've had more trips to the park instead of the zoo.

It won't be like this forever.

I'm in the same boat. I can't do what I use too & it bothers me sometimes. I rest all the time. Clean a section if the house & rest. Just how life is right now I guess.

I feel the same way. We actually moved toys from her room to the living room for something new to do. So far it's helping a bit.
