Exhausted...

Holy Moly I am Tired.

 

I thought it was bad during the first trimester but this is ridiculous.

 

Busy season is in full swing and I can already feel it. I am at basically scheduled at a client everyday until the week before I'm due. And along with being at these clients comes: Full audits, another set of financial statements to be done, and half the time the tax return.

 

Normally I don't mind busy season that much (I say this now, but Travis would probably tell you how fun it is to live with me during past busy seasons). You just mentally prepare to be working every night and at least one day a weekend (60+ hours). Luckily my company lets all of this night/weekend work happen at home. It's a rough few months, but having Fridays off (paid) the other 6 months of the year and all the other perks our company offers MORE than makes up for it.

 

This busy season however, is going to kick my butt.

 

I remember reading this quote during my first few weeks and kinda laughing. But now I feel like this is even more true during the last 2 months!

"Imagine staying up all night, running a marathon, then doing three hundred loads of laundry, and raking leaves off a football field all in one day. How tired would you be? That's how tired I felt EVERY day in my first trimester."

-Jenny McCarthy

 

Between busy season and everything else on my mind,

it's a miracle I haven't missed any deadlines yet!

 

 

 

28 Week Bumpdate

Officially in my 3rd trimester!

 

 

How far along: 28 weeks

 

Size of baby: According to thebump.com baby is the size of a rutabaga!

 

 

Maternity Clothes: Most of the time everything I wear is maternity. I still wear some of my old dress pants to work with the belly band, but it's getting harder to hide the zipper! I am very thankful my sister saved all hers so I have a bunch to choose from.

Stretch Marks: None yet. Thank goodness these are genetic and not based on lotions/oils you use. Cause I'm pretty sure I have put stuff on my belly less than 10 times so far.

 

Gender: Baby Boy!

 

Movement: A ton! It used to only be first thing in the morning and at night laying in bed, but its pretty consistent throughout the day now.

Best Moment this week: Getting the baby's room and our office painted! and putting the crib together last night! And officially in my third trimester.

Looking forward to: Getting the rest of the baby's put together (furniture wise) so I can start decorating.

Food cravings: any and all cereal. There was a day or two a few weeks back that I ate cereal for all 3 meals. Also, I can't stop drinking milk, orange juice and Jamba Juice!

Anything make you queasy or sick: Nothing thank goodness!

Labor Signs: I have had a few Braxton hicks here and there but no labor signs.

 

What I miss: rolling over comfortably at night without waking up and finding something I want to wear quickly.

 

Sleep: Pretty good, just waking up every time I want to roll over and crazy dreams!

 

Symptoms: growing belly and really achy feet after walking around too long

Baby Room: All painted, crib set up, ordered dresser, about to order glider. Now just to organize and decorate.

Belly Button: Still staying in so far

Wedding Rings on or off: On. But that last few days my feet and hands have been a little swollen and they have been feeling kinda tight by the end of the day.

What I am looking forward to: trying to agree on a name for this baby and my next appointment!
