Restless?

SpinningJess

To you gals who are currently pregnant....are you feeling restless?  I feel like I have been for the bulk of this pregnancy and I've still got quite a ways to go.  Just really put a definition to my feelings today.  I can't concentrate on my work when I REALLY need to, to be sure things are as caught-up as possible for my fill-in when I'm on maternity leave.  I'm restless at home because I can't do the things I want to do as far as housework, organizing to get ready for the girls, and playing with my son on his terms (he's getting to where he loves to play more rough and tumble - he's a boy after all!).  Anyway, just looking for others who are in the same boat as me.  I don't like being pregnant, I can hardly wait for the day to meet my girls face-to-face but at the same time am praying they stay in as long as possible so they are big and healthy when they come.

Yep, this is me.  I'm not particularly enjoying being pregnant and I feel like it's dragging by.  I just want time to zip by so we can meet our little girls!

And I'm just feeling rather plump and slow moving.  I tried running up the stairs today in 3" wedges to catch a phone call....I must have looked ridiculous, lol.

Brave woman!!  haha  I may have done the same at 19 weeks....it's amazing how much more sluggish I feel just 4 weeks later.  And now I'm big enough every random person I see asks if I'll be having "the baby" any day now.  Ugh!  This is my second go at pregnancy, wasn't a fan the first time either, but the reward at the end is worth it!  Every day I find a new way that my love for DS has grown, it really is an amazing thing

Ugh a guy at work told me a couple days ago that I look like I'm going to pop any day.  I'm well aware that I'm bigger than the average 19 week pregnant woman, but I'm carrying twins.  And I'm only halfway done so that certainly doesn't put me in some huge pregnant person category, not yet at least.  People need filters!

yup! outside of your work situation I feel like I find myself saying pretty much the same exact things! I feel bad complaining about being pregnant, I have to watch what I say around friends who want nothing more. But truth is, no matter how much I love DD and the twins..I do not enjoy waddling and resting through my days!

This is how I feel exactly!  Can't do too much physically.  I spend many days at home, and when I do go into work, I don't focus as much as I should .  The days seem to be passing by incredibly slow.  Everything is done and ready for the babies, so it's not like I have any projects to do.  Oh well.

I'm very restless and my attention span is short. And I'm exhausted most of the day! I find myself making excuses to get up from my desk for short walks around the office - like to get a cup of tea (the type of tea I have at my desk I don't really like anymore, but I'll still drink a few cups a day to get up and move around!) or to literally just walk aimlessly (that's pretty rare, though).

I've also found that besides being antsy, my limbs are restless - like restless legs, but sort of all over. That really makes concentrating hard. And sleeping, but that's a whole other post.
