This morning

This morning Timothy went on an early morning mountain bike ride with his little brother, Eric.

This morning, I should have gotten up when he left to be on the look-out for children.

This morning, I didn't get up. I'm so used to Timothy watching the kids for me until I drag myself out of bed at 8:00. Being preggers is killing me. Literally. I don't think I've ever been this tired in my life. Case in point--Timothy took the kids for three hours on Saturday for a picnic. I had so much to do. I laid down for just a second and slept the entire three hours. Grr.

This morning, when Timothy kissed me goodbye at 8:00 am, I asked him where the children were. He said they were locked in Miriam's room where there were spaghetti noodles all over the floor.

This morning I walked downstairs and realized that Timothy literally meant all over the floor. Every spare millimeter of space on Miriam's carpet is covered with crushed up noodles.

This morning, my children are officially for sale.

Except Eli, of course. Not even spaghetti noodles would make me get rid of him.

Ummm.........how did I ever miss that you are pregnant? Or maybe I just forgot. WOw! CONGRATULATIONS!

So sorry you are feeling very tired. I can relate. Have you had your iron intake checked? I remember having to eat loads of more iron.

Andrea I totally understand the tired part. I cannot believe how tired I was with this last pregnancy of mine. I was tired with the others, but sooooooo tired with Harrison. If I sat down even for a minute I was out cold. My legs and body just felt tired all of the time. Hope it gets better for you.
