Anyone else feeling super lazy (and guilty about it)

Both DH and my MW keep telling me I need to take it easy as much as possible. I'm not the type (I worked, walked 4+ miles/day and did yoga up until 41w with DS) but this time around I've been battling sciatic nerve pain and the regular exhaustion of being pregnant and running after a 30lb toddler.

Basically these days if DS doesn't need me for anything I am sitting on my butt and resting. It's driving me insane: on one hand I feel guilty for not listening to DH and MW and getting rest if I am running around, but on the other hand I feel like a total slob sitting around and avoiding activity. Am I the only one?

Yes, it just hit me today. I felt super guilty for leaving work last week, and this week I'm determined to get things done. But I'm so tired, and realizing that I need to take it easier. It is hard, but I know it is what my health needs.

Totally with you and I don't even have a toddler to care for!  I have no excuse really but I don't feel like doing much these days.  I go back and forth between feeling justified and feeling guilty. 

I HAVE managed to keep my house super clean and the laundry caught up so I'm not TOTALLY worthless but just about

I am feeling super lazy and nope I don't feel guilty about it. I am enjoying my last few weeks of peace and quiet

Coming from someone who has been working since I was 12.. and am now 26.. I have been feeling pretty guilty about not working or doing something. During the summer I used to work 2 to 3 jobs just to keep busy because I am the type of person who likes to be on the go. So needless to say, being off until September will definitely be interesting. I'm very grateful to be off that long and maybe even longer (not sure I will want to leave my baby boy and go back to work full time). So for now, I try to keep busy by keeping up on the cleaning, laundry, baking, and visiting with friends and family during the day until LO arrives!

I feel pretty guilty like I should have more desire to "nest".  I have almost finished the nursery, but still have to take pics for you guys- so at least that's done.  But cleaning is torture right now!  I'm contemplating napping right now.

You and I sound exactly alike. Only difference is I've been a SAHM since DS was born... but by no means am I the lazy type, unless I'm REALLY sick.. I like to be up, about, and stay busy all the time. But this pregnancy has been sooo much harder, on top of caring for DS. So I've been taking it easy,... but it's sooo hard, and I feel like a major slob... but then I feel guilty when I do stuff and then end up overdoing it. =( Can we be done yet?! lol

I did not do anything today. And I'm beating myself up for it. I'm glad I'm not the only one
