I think I'm taking it a little too literally...

lauramaybride35 · June 2009

In one of my pregnancy books, it said to rest when you're feeling tired in the1st Tri, and don't worry about letting some of your housework, etc. slip. I think I'm using it as an excuse to NEVER do housework again! My house desperately needs cleaned, but 'the book' said not to worry about it. Smile

So...I'm not...I think I need a cleaning lady, though! Anyone else being lazy like this???

So funny... I am doing the same thing!?

oh yeah, and the worst part is that I am a teacher so I am home all day for now. I will be going to take some classes to keep up on my degree, but I have been super tired. I hear that the 2nd trimester is a whole new feeling, you have energy and no more sickness.

I like to think it's not me being lazy. ?I've been having morning sickness pretty badly. ?When I move, I feel?nauseous. ?Laundry really needs to be done though.

I tell my husband that I am not being lazy...my body is so busy making our baby that I don't have the energy. He can't argue that one!

For me, I think it's mostly laziness. I've been feeling fine, other than being a little more tired than usual. After working all day and then teaching Jazzercise, cleaning is the last thing I want to do in the evenings! That's when I always used to do my household chores, but I've pretty much stopped for the time being... For those of you not feeling well, that's definitely not laziness, and I hope you feel better soon!!

It is! I can't WAIT for 2nd tri! lol

My house is a disaster, too!

Yes! I'm doing this, too... and it's weird since I am such a neatfreak usually!

IF our house was not on the market I totally would be right there with you. Unfortunately, I have no choice but do some cleaning. Although some days I just can't and let it go some which I know I shouldn't.

Yep...DH has been picking up the slack but I think that's getting old pretty quick.

I totally know how you feel. Last Saturday I had every intention of giving my house a good cleaning, since I haven't in a while, and instead I pretty much slept ALL day. My husband brought me breakfast in bed at like 9:30 (Thursday was my birthday, and this was like a late gift) and after I ate, I fell back asleep. Then I got up and went downstairs at like 11, at which point I sat on the couch to watch TV while I was trying to wake up, and I fell back asleep until like 3. By this point I had to force myself to get up and shower b/c I had to go to the store. My husband came with me (and we went about 20 minutes away) and I slept in the car on the way there and the way home. By the time I get home from work, I am useless b/c I am so tired, and as of yesterday I am starting to feel the morning sickness. But, it is all worth it...every bit of it! I just hope by the time I go on vacation in July I won't be feeling as nasaous or tired!

Sorry for the long post

DH got sick of the house being a mess so he cleaned the other day.

That would be great.. but my 5 yr old comes through the house like a hurricane.. I'm constantly picking up.. cleaning

justrachet · June 2009

For about 2 weeks I did absolutely nothing - no cleaning, no cooking, no laundry. DH did it all. I was sick all the time and thoroughly exhausted, though. Now, I'm still not feeling well, but ok enough to do a little bit here and there. And I still go to bed about 2 hours earlier than I did pre-pregnancy.

mrsnicolew · June 2009

ME! But mainly because I work in the mornings and I have afternoon/evening sickness so by the time I get off work it's all I can do to stumble into the house, throw down whatever I'm carrying and land on the couch. Good thing DH is a teacher and it's the end of the year so he's usually home around the same time to help with DD. Although the house being a mess doesn't bother him like it bothers me so he's not one to grab a clorox wipe....

This is exactly what happened to me after about 2 weeks of not picking up the house- when I came home from a relief job last friday DH had picked up the living room and was folding the laundry- what a good guy!! He didnt do the dishes of pick up the kitchen so I actually had the energy to do it yesterday so I cleaned the kitchen
