Babysitting...

in 3rd Trimester

So, I babysat for a co-worker of DH 2 weeks ago. ?It was great, there kid is awesome (he's about 14 months). ?But, I was secretly hoping that they would realize I`m getting towards the end of my pregnancy and wouldn't ask me to babysit again. ?I had a good time with their kid and it was an easy $50, but it just completely knocked me out. ?I was exhausted and sore after only 5 hours with the kid. ?(Seriously, I don't know how you moms with little ones and are pregnant do it.)

So, should I just suck it up and babysit on friday for the money? Or should I make up an excuse not to?

I don't wanna do it, but I think it's only b/c I`m being lazy...?

    What didyou do with the kid?! I babysit twins occasionally and IMO it's easy money! I just chill out and relax and love on the kiddos!

    I wouldn't push myself. Enjoy the end of your pregnancy! I told myself when I entered 3rd Trimester, I am not stressing myself out over nothing!

    Well, I pretty much played with the kid the whole time. ?He had just got up from his nap, so I had no down time at all. ?It was just all the up and down of the couch that killed me.

    haha, Ya, I felt too guilty to do that b/c they are friends...and I wouldn't want to lie and say, "I propped your baby on the couch and we watched crappy daytime TV together all day long." ?Maybe I`ll just do it, and not be such an all-star babysitter this time.?
