So, imagine it in small bites. Today, my bite was to get Abby's Laundry put away. Not all the laundry, not all done, not all folded- just Abbys, already clean stuff folded and put away. I can do that.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. I hate being pregnant too. HATE it. I would go through ten labor and delivery if I could skip the pregnancy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-91978679977444578782008-08-11T20:31:00.000-06:002008-08-11T20:31:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry Em.

I tried to do just one thing every day. Even if it was something tiny. I couldn't walk around for very long, (you know how the puking is), so I just tried my best, and my best was sometimes just laying on the couch. You are a wonderful mommy, and you don't have to be "super mom". Hugs for you! I hope the sickiness goes away soon.Chantele Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-80151671065126020132008-08-11T19:09:00.000-06:002008-08-11T19:09:00.000-06:00Oh, Sweetheart!

It must be especially frustrating to have a husband that is mostly unavailable to help make it not so overwhelming seeing as how he's at school all day. Yep, pregnancy can really suck sometimes. I often wish for the same direction/guidance you want while still maintaining control. Why does it have to be all or nothing? Keep that little pilot light going and hopefully when you're really fully past the horrible sickies you'll be able to pull it all back together again like the amazing woman you are. And feel free to give yourself a little break; you're growing a baby for heaven's sake! :)<BR/>((hugs))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
