Signs I'm pregnant

** I wrote this several weeks ago and just never posted.  It's slightly outdated, but still oh soo true.  It makes me laugh to read **

I'm not trying to complain.  It may sound like that, but really I'm just trying to show what life has been like the past few months.  To me it's in more of a humorous tone than a complaining one.


I don't care about anything.
I don't care what anyone wears - I'm just glad if everyone has clothing on
Baked goods sound disgusting (make me want to loose what's in my stomach when I think about baking)!
Food in general still sounds awful
I'm thrilled if kids have 1 serving of veggies each day - because as mentioned above, I don't care about anything.
I eat about 3 snacks during the night to make it through the night
The minute TJ is in bed for his nap I'm in bed for my nap
I've actually asked TJ if he wants to play with water/bubbles in the sink (usually a major no-no) to keep him busy
TJ spends half of the day in his underwear
Our disaster of a garage hasn't been bothering me - it takes too much energy to care about.  :D


 I wrote that list a few weeks ago.  Now I'm feeling better.  Still not 100% but I feel human again and as normal as I'm going to feel before I turn into a balloon!!

* I care more about my kids appearance.  I made Hannah change out of her leggings with a hole in them before school the other day.

* I make Sofia turn her clothes right side out before we leave the house.  I still let he wear her shirts backwards most days - some battles just aren't worth it!

* Baking sounds good in the morning or when I'm planning food on the calendar - but by afternoon it sounds like too much work and makes my stomach queezy.

* A lot of foods actually sound good.

* Salads and vegetables have been re-entered into our diet on a more regular basis.....still not as much as they used to be, but we're heading in the right direction.

* Our garage has now been straightened out - not thoroughly cleaned, but straightened out.

* At least half of the time I make it through the night without any food.

* TJ is usually dressed before lunch.

I still don't feel absolutely great.  Mostly my energy level is so low.  In past pregnancies I've completely had my energy back by this point.  But not with this one.  I'm wondering if that's just my bodies way of preparing me for life with 4 kids.  :D

Glad you're feeling better. I know I felt ten times worse with my 4th, there is something about that one it seems. I hope all goes well with the rest of your pregnancy.
