Complete and total exhuastion..

bkcgraham · June 2014

Thought first tri was bad but holy crap is the exhaustion in 3rd tri kicking my butt! Morning, afternoon, evening - it never really goes away. I've been at work for 3 hours and have already gotten up to move around 5 times. Gonna be another long day.

Sunday was our wedding anniversary. We spent the ENTIRE day in bed. Then he got Chinese take-out. Which we are in bed. I felt so bad- but he didn't care. I'm beat!

I'm a little jelous - sounds like a perfect day to me:)

ugh. I feel you. Im normally a super motivated person and GET SHIT DONE! Even first tri I didn't feel too bad. Now? I had every intention of washing our bedding after work last night. I spent the entire night on the couch....

I just want to high five all you STM+. Good Lord, how do you do it!? I can barely take care of myself with this fatigue. I couldn't imagine trying to keep up with anyone else. SO SLEEPY.

Humid where I am too! 90% last night. Been raining a ton.

Hubby and I accidentally slept in until 6:40 this morning, he needs to be out the door at 6:50... oops! We've been going non stop the month of June, and I think it's finally catching up with us. Luckily it ends this weekend.
We sold our house, and bought a new to us one, got possession of the new one on May 30, and lose possession of our old house this weekend. In between we've had to paint and put new flooring in the new to us house, move, and then finish our "old" house, which is basically brand new. H started building it in 2007, and it will be finished when we hand the keys over this weekend. It's been a really long month.

You are in the same boat as me but ahead of schedule. We will finally be down to one house as of July 15th - I will be so happy on that morning.

Soooo sleepy. Grateful DH isn't being an ass about it, because this is really kicking my butt.

SS came home last night for a few days from bio-mom's house. And, he's been gone almost a month, so he didn't realize I sleep in the recliner now, and -I- felt bad turning off all the lights in the livingroom while he was playing on DH's tablet...so...I ended up staying awake until after 1am. Few broken hours of sleep (fuck you sciatica), and here I am at my desk at work STRUGGLING to stay alert and semi-conscious. The work is piling up, and I just DGAF the past few weeks. GOT to turn that around so I can pass most of this off.

But...I just want to put my head down on my desk and nap.

Oh gosh, the exhaustion. I do not want to do anything.

Daughter threw the worst tantrum when the furniture guy showed up yesterday. The screams were piercing my ears and the lightening crotch....all while trying to listen to what he was telling me.

And it was all because she could not reach the letter H for her puzzle.

I am always HOT!

My husband grabbed my ass under my night gown last night and said, "Why are you sweating so much?!"

Way to make a girl feel sexy.

I'm trying really hard to ignore it. Mommy guilt over the amount of time we're spending indoors gets to me so I try to push through and go to the pool or a playground most days. Luckily my 3 year old is in camp from 9-12 MWF otherwise I probably would have had a total breakdown by now.

ETA: I remember last time wondering how on earth STM+ moms survived pregnancy. For me it's been easier so far because there simply isn't another option than pushing through. I'm much more active this time than last and I think that makes a huge difference in how I feel.

I think I actually get more sleep with a newborn than I do right now. My other two kids have been up for hours every night for a month, and add to that I can't get comfortable, I have to get up and pee a dozen times... I get about three or four hours of sleep at night. Broken.

Yesterday I went to the grocery store after work, cooked dinner, and then was too tired to eat it. I've cried all morning from lack of sleep. It's nothing compared to some of you. STM's get the gold in stamina.

Thank you. I do decent until nap time and then from then until DH comes home I am completely energyless. I go go go with her all morning/early afternoon that I think the sitting down really kills my energy streak.

Oh my goodness, yes! I am so tired that I am tired of being tired. I know I am crabby. I don't remember being this way when I was pregnant with DS. As far as how I handle it with DS around, I don't know. We do a lot of errand running in the morning, and then I nap during his nap.

Funny story. DH is home today cleaning our carpets. I have Bible study on Tues mornings and they have childcare. However, DH asked us if we could leave home earlier so that he would have more time to clean. So I went to McDonald's on the way and bought a caramel mocha. Later, I was telling DH that I decided to buy some coffee because I was so tired and crabby. DH's response, "Yeah, I could kind of tell you were crabby this morning.."

Me too! Got some bloodwork back last week and my iron was pretty low so that's not helping things either. Hoping my supplements kick in soon.
