Welcome Geekie!
I'm so down in the dumps today. I feel like hormones are insane in the third trimester. I cry almost everyday over something and I'm just so damn tired. I wake up choking on heartburn goodness that is always sitting in my throat and while I've had an easy pregnancy the lack of sleep is killing me.

Right now I'm 7 months preggo and working full time and so tired I could die and he gets to stay home and make food and bake and sew (seriously, he's making onesis which is so cute) but I'm super jealous and hormones make it worse. I want to be the homemaker for that year (God Bless Canada) not the Bread Winner. I feel like a petty two year old.

I HEAR YOU ON THE SLEEP AND HORMONES! I just woke up from a monstrous sleep that will probably have me up all night. Sometimes its anxiety and heartburn that keep me up. This time, what kept me awake was my little one tap dancing on my bladder...twice in the same night! Going to the bathroom when I'm trying to sleep has the effect of making me wide awake. :/ Hubby (who works nights) lured me back to bed to try and get more sleep, but instead of just catching a few more hours, I slept
all day! Now I'm probably going to be up all night. This is not what I wanted...
And yesterday I literally went through three emotions within a minute: fury, amusement, then teary depression, and all over...wait for it... A car radio! The silly thing wasn't even broken or anything, I just wasn't using it right, but it was like 0-60 I suddenly went nuts because it wasn't doing what I wanted it too. Hubby just shook his head at me.
I send hugs and good thoughts! I can't imagine what it's like to work full time in the 3rd trimester. I had to go on early maternity leave at the start of mine due to pregnancy-related hip pain. I'm envious your husband is getting so into the pregnancy he's sewing onesies, lol. My hubby is having problems connecting to what's coming. It's something we're BOTH struggling with.
My 2014 resolutions:
Are you ladies setting any?
geez...I got put in a forum timeout for trying to quote your url, even after I took off the bbc code! I didn't know that applied to forum quotes too...
So far the only resolution I could think of was to stay strong and do what I have to for my son's well being, even if that means I have to say goodbye to a close friend of mine. We had a falling out when I asked her to take into consideration my condition when she talked to me. She's always having drama and worrying me to the point of not being able to eat or sleep, and her sense of boundaries about what's appropriate to share and when is off (not her fault, it's how our friendship has always worked--it just can't work that way anymore now that I'm going to be a mom and I tried to tell her that.) She took offense, and we haven't spoken since the end of October. It hurts but I know this is what I need to do to protect my son and the special moments we'll have. My friend's feelings and pride aren't more important than my baby boy.
I suppose the other, obvious resolution would be for my hubby and I to have as smooth a transition back into civilian life as possible. He's Air Force and he's getting out shortly after the birth of our son.
Other than that I don't really have any yet - apart from for hubby to get a job.... but that's not a new-years resolution, that's something we've both been wanting (and he's been trying) ever since he got out the army. He's just been out of 'civi' life for too long so he hasn't got any recent experience in 'normal'/'civi' jobs which probably puts employers off
That's what I'm afraid it'll be like for us! Hubby and I both procrastinated on job hunting, so I'm afraid we'll be scraping by on minimum wage (if we can even find anything) and unemployment till one of us finds a solid job. It's really scary...
