Well, today was the first day I got to enjoy a "pregnancy nap." And let me tell you--it was GLORIOUS. Dad and I had a collection to do in Rockwood (FYI, I'm currently living in Cleveland which is VERY FAR from Rockwood...to put it in perspective, I spent the night at my parents house cause it's closer and still got up at 4am...) so I've been up since before the crack of dawn. We got back to the house around 9am and I could barely keep my eyes open, so Dad said we'll take a "work break" and I should go take and nap...and nap I did. I napped the heck out of my nap! Slept for almost 3 hours! Well dang, I knew I was tired.
Afterwards we headed to the office to do some painting which totally wears me out. I could've used another nap, but I resisted in an effort to maintain productivity. HA.
When I got home, guess what I found...My husband...CLEANING THE ENTIRE HOUSE! He really does love me. I know he does. He even washed the sheets on the bed and cleaned the bathrooms on top of sweeping, mopping, dishes, laundry...and that's right ladies: he's all mine!
Tonight is my first "outing" with Chad since the baby announcement. (Family outings dont count). Really, this shouldn't count either because we're having dinner with Tye and his wife and they already knew we were pregnant thanks the Tye and Chad working together and Chad coming along to my first drs. appt. Tye likes to take plenty of opportunities to tell Chad, "Hey daddy," and I even got a secret "Hey momma" at the LUDIC Christmas party :) Looking forward to spending time with the Crumbleys!
So I've been reassured by my preggo friends that the 2nd trimester is the light at the end of the tunnel that's been sucking all my energy away for the past 3 months. I'll believe it when I feel it!
Enjoying your blogs, Sweet Renee! :) You've been on my heart and in my prayers more so since we heard your precious news.. you're "building a person" and it'll take every moment you can to rest so your body can keep "building". So it's wonderful to hear you got a nap! :)
ReplyDeleteGive your sweet hubby a big hug from me for doing all that he has.. any extra that you don't do is more time for you and baby to rest & grow. :) I can relate to the confusion in eating or not eating.. and more's to come, some good and not so great, but the end result is SO worth it all! Please know we are here for anything.. books, dinner, etc. and definitely to babysit when/if needed! :) Love to you both, Little One, and Peanut... Aunt Heidi
