What a difference a nap makes!!!

So I SAH with my DS most of the time but do work one day a week as a 3rd grade teacher (a 20% job share) with a teacher who is on special assignment on my day.  It's a really great way to make a little money and keep my hand in teaching while I still feel like I'm spending most of my time raising DS and soon DD.  

I worked yesterday and by the end of the day my body was absolutely worthless!  Stiff and exhausted and my whole right leg was aching,  Today back to the (apparently mandatory) midday nap and I feel like a completely different pregnant lady!  

 How are you ladies handling this part of the pregnancy???  I feel like the real 'weight' of the pregnancy is really starting to set in.

    I have been surprised at how tired and big I feel already.  Everything seems harder these days!  I figured by the very end I would feel big and exhausted but I didn't think it would happen so soon!  It definitely isn't as hard as my first trimester (at least not yet) but I totally see why people say 2nd trimester is amazing and 3rd trimester is harder!

    I've been exhausted the last couple of weeks- to the point where I have to lie down for a half hour-45 minutes once I get home or I'm completely useless all night.  I think it's a combo of being larger plus the heat.

    It sucks.  I definitely am beginning to understand why people cut down to working part time towards the end.

    I take naps every day I work. And I am glad that I do. I work 12 hrs a day, and by the 2-3 day I am swollen as all get out. So the past 2 or 3 weeks, the only thing I am responsible for on days I work is napping when I get home :)

    I am an avid napper. It makes all the difference!
