How does she do it?

My sister is preg with her 4th. We were just discussing Christmas plans.  I thought her due date was later in Jan, but nope.  She will be on trauma call (ortho surgeon) for 4 days straight during her last week of preg (if she hasn't already delivered) and will be hosting our entire HUGE family for Christmas the same week.  There will be 6 extra adults and 3 extra kids at her house on top of all the others who will be there from early morning till late at night. 

Just thinking about it wears me out, but she loves to be surrounded by family so maybe it'll actually be good for her.  Plus she usually gets my other sister and I to clean house and cook while we're there ;p

    Wow.  Sounds like she's probably mastered the whole pregnancy thing at this point...if you're on #4, my guess is that you're really good at being pregnant!

    Hah, that's a good way of putting it.  I guess by No. 4 it's like having an extended cold.  Annoying, but doable.

    :) I'm on number 4 and it feels odd not to be doing a million things. The more going on- the better I feel...I bet she is the same way.

    With 4 I'm sure there's always a million things going on!  My mom had 3 and I'm having a hard time picturing how busy it will be next year with 1!

    When I was pregnant with my daughter, my whole life revolved around my pregnancy even though I was working. It seemed like all my thoughts, extra energy, etc. went into planning and preparing for her. This time, while I'm excited to meet my little boy, I have a ton going on and I just can't spend as much time thinking about it and preparing for him like I did before. Life just has to go on in the meantime! I'm sure she feels similarly. 

     She also sounds like an extrovert, someone who feels rejuvenated after connecting with other people. Maybe this event, while it may sound stressful to you, is actually refreshing and relaxing to her?
