Momentum



Lately, I've had trouble getting out the door of our house. The truth is, I'm starting to understand why asian women go to their mother's house and sit on the couch at this stage of pregnancy. I can barely make it out for a walk without exhaustion driving me back inside.

I am finding that the longer Jude is awake after a nap, the less momentum I seem to have to propel me out.

My latest technique for overcoming this? At the start of his nap time, I pack his afternoon snack, toys, etc in a bag on the stroller. I try to be out the door within 5 minutes of his wake up cry. So far, it's working for me.

Otherwise, I might be homebound for the next 2-6 months.

cut yourself some slack! You are growing another human! Your body is working hard than if you were running a marathon AND you are caring for a toddler. It's exhausting! Rest is work when you are pregnant!
