Going through the motions

brewcitybride

Anyone else just treading water, going through the motions of each day, just waiting for that light at the end of the tunnel?

I go back and forth in energy and positivity, but since week 34, it's been pretty bad. I drag myself to work. Am miserably tired all day long. Drag myself home. Try to interact with DD and DH. Drag myself to bed, and sleep terribly. And do it all over again:( I am now 36 weeks, and I know I can do this for 4 more weeks, because I've already done it once, but this is HARD.

I am going to get myself a haircut tomorrow night, and a pedicure this weekend, so I'm hoping those things will take my mind off my miserableness.

I can seriously relate to you. This is my fourth pregnancy and it seems that I have lost all energy really early at the third trimester. I took off of work back in late September, and my energy is still really low. I do have certain days where I will get some energy but usually its late towards bedtime. I am now at 37 weeks, wondering if I am gonna make it to 40. If I go to 41 like my past three I may just start pulling my hair out. Nice things to relax and take your mind off some things do help, even if it is short term relief. Even being miserable can cause unnecessary stress on you. Good luck with the pedicure those are always so wonderful!

I agree, even though this is my first.  If I wasn't convinced that sitting at home would be worse than wasting time at work I would totally go on mat leave already!

I agree! I am counting down the days til my last day of work (which is Friday, thank goodness!). I feel like I have to psychologically talk myself through things just so I don't feel overwhelmed (even getting ready for work). Everything feels like a chore - even spending time with friends. I do enjoy organizing the baby room though!

A few weeks ago I told myself that I couldnt wait to be done with work so I could just relax at home and wait for this baby to come......now that the place I worked shut down two weeks ago I am going INSANE!!!!! I clean or try and stay busy throughout the day and I do get to nap a little (which is good because sleep at night is nonexistent..) but I really miss the distraction of getting up and going to work for 8 hours. Enjoy getting out of the house while you can
