*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[SoBlessedMama]

Welcome new ladies!

I am still feeling so tired. I hate this feeling, it feels like I'm hungover all day. Just seems like there's no end in sight...then I think about having a newborn and a toddler and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed.

With this extreme exhaustion, I've kinda been a crappy parent in my opinion, my daughter is used to me sitting on the floor with her and playing, going shopping, doing crafts, etc and I havent been doing any of that!

Do you ladies have any suggestions on natural ways to get my energy levels to rise? I could really use a boost!

Also I am having an aversion to coffee right now so that's just not an option.

Hey honey-I'm pretty sure your not being a crappy parent. Take it easy and listen to your body. It's hard to rest with a lo I know, but don't feel bad. Me and my dd2 are sitting watching Despicable Me!

Eating well and drinking plenty of fluids are big energy boosters too

I agree, girl. : ) You're being a good mom by getting the rest that you need. I feel the same way with my 4 year old. We haven't spent nearly enough time outside playing, or doing fun, active things lately, because I just can't. I just keep telling myself that I will hopefully have energy again in a few weeks. He is old enough that he is great about entertaining himself for a while, too, which has been wonderful. It will pass, and I know you are still being a wonderful mom. Just the fact that you're aware and concerned about it says that you are a good mom. : )

Welcome to the new ladies!

Love the new scan pics

Have my first ob appt today! Finally! I just wish they would do a 12 week scan! I'll see if I can talk her into it Nervous about the spotting after the exam though. I know to expect it, but I know it will still freak me out!

double digits today!

Ugh I hate pregnancy dreams. This morning I dreamed, that my husband died in an accident. I would rather have miscarriage dreams . And of course he already left for work so he isn't here to comfort me

I guess I spoke too soon about the morning sickness. I have been feeling great the last 2 weeks and then last night at 4am I woke up with a massive headache and puked I still feel nauseous now. I'm trying to eat some cereal. Hopefully it stays down.

I had a dream that my husband went to go for a hike and never came back, and when Itried to get help to go find him no one cared. And he's on a business trip until the end of this week.

On the bright side, I'm meeting him at his parents house and we are telling both our parents that I'm pregnant this weekend. My husbands birthday is this weekend so we are having a party at his parents house, and my mom is coming so they all get to hear at the same time! I'm super excited to finally get it out there!

I feel hungover all day too. I also haven't been playing with my daughter as much as usual. I am hoping to get some energy soon so I can play with her more.

I find doing a little bit, then resting for a bit really helps. I think it will be a lot better once it warms up and we can go to the park, go for walks, etc.

I've probably missed a bunch bc I haven't been on since Friday so I wanted to give a quick update while I'm online, I'll try my best to catch up on my next break. I had my nt scan today and all was well. Baby was moving around a lot and hr is still high it was 164 bpm today it's been 166 bpm on the Doppler lately. We decided to do the sequential screening as well, not really sure why it was needed but whatever it's only bloodwork.
