a day in the life of a crazy mom

Now that my energy is slowly returning I am trying to be better about blogging. Now if you asked my hubby he would say "energy returning?" and today he would be right. I just got up from a 4 1/2 hour nap. I know sucks to be me, right? Well other than today I have actually been an almost functioning member of the human race. I can make it through most days without a nap now as long as I have the time to chill a bit on the couch with my feet up. I don't know why but it makes all the difference in the world.

I think I jinxed myself last week. I actually had FIVE whole days without one sign of morning sickness, and I was dumb enough to say, gee i wonder if my morning sickness is gone. And as soon as the thought left my brain the morning sickness kicked back in. Now I must say it is not at full force anymore, but its still there. When will it end? I know compared to others I really have nothing to complain about but since its mine I will complain! Its my pregnancy and I'll cry if I want to, right?

Okay I'm sure you other mommies out there will remember what an emotional mess you were when you were preggo. My hubby, is finally starting to understand that crying at any moment is normal. At first he would tell me, "Crying won't make it better" and of course I would say back, but it does!!! and I 'm pregnant so I can cry!! So after 12 weeks of seeing it and reading a few books about the subject he is now much more understanding even if he does call me a crazy nut job at times. And granted I am, at times.

Now for the sappy part, I so have to give huge props to my very loving and patient husband. Can I tell you that for the last 8 weeks I have not had to lift a finger at home. No seriously, not a finger. And I get no slack about it either. I am the luckiest girl in the entire world! Even when I am coherent enough to think about it and feel really bad that he has shouldered all the chores and kid wrangling, and then I break down and cry that I am a failure and can't even help fold the laundry and he's doing everything and its not fair...you get the point.(if you are actually following what I am saying I am so amazed, my brain isn't stringing things together correctly anymore, bear with me) I really do feel bad that he is having to do it all, but I never even hear a peep out of him. It is truly the most amazing and loving thing that I think has ever been done for me. Why don't more guys do this? So when I am having my little guilt break down he kindly reminds me that it is my job to bake these two sweet babies right now and it is his job to take care of everything else. What did I do to deserve this? It is so nice to be in love, have a fabulous partner, and to be supported more than you ever thought you could be. I have to say I have a fabulous life.

If you guys haven't done it yet, please go and register for the Heroes for Children 5k that is taking place next Saturday the 15th. I actually got on the ball and did it ahead of time! Go me!! It is going to be a fabulously fun time while supporting a great cause. Please come and join us!!
