Maybe some new lures for a mini-getaway to a favorite *local* fishing hole? Basket replete with his favorite comfort foods?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, don't be hard on yourself. It's hard work baking up a new baby. Everyone goes through these phases off and on during pregnancy. I've found out my physical and energy limitations even when I'm not pregnant, and that is why my home is only 1350 sq.ft.! lol.<BR/><BR/>Be good to you and yours.<BR/><BR/>Brightest Blessings,<BR/>MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711550997062819324.post-66627731239841452812009-01-20T11:17:00.000-06:002009-01-20T11:17:00.000-06:00I read that being pregnant is like climbing a moun...I read that being pregnant is like climbing a mountain. just remeber you are only human and your doing your best every day. your family loves you and appreciates you and your husband obviously supports and loves you so relax and enjoy your little blessing!! your doing a wonderful job. have a happy and blessed day:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711550997062819324.post-33793747099805020192009-01-20T07:55:00.000-06:002009-01-20T07:55:00.000-06:00How about getting a little man-box tin, something ...How about getting a little man-box tin, something with a deer or cabin scene or something, make him some homemade cookies or brownies and put them in the box and stick a romantic card telling him how much ya love him with a gift card for his favorite sporting goods store and have it delivered to his work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711550997062819324.post-36609740373928665302009-01-20T05:36:00.000-06:002009-01-20T05:36:00.000-06:00I remember the way early preg. feels...and I know ...I remember the way early preg. feels...and I know you will feel beer soon!

It's nice to see someone who's real in the blog world. <BR/><BR/>I'm nearly 28 weeks pregnant with my 4th and I always feel exactly as you do in the first 12 weeks. I don't really get sick except for a little nausea. I end up with major fatigue and lack of motivation because of it. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing how great you feel when it suddenly lifts and you can get on with things. <BR/><BR/>Your husband sounds amazing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711550997062819324.post-67920853712401334912009-01-19T15:29:00.000-06:002009-01-19T15:29:00.000-06:00During this last month of pregnancy, I feel bad to...During this last month of pregnancy, I feel bad too. Very tired, not sleeping, backaches, and the heart burn, oh my. I guess I am ready to move on to the next part. Sure I will be tired and not sleeping but at least I will have a little baby to look at:) Prayers and blessings.Joy Comes in the Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565429387952969679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711550997062819324.post-56132890249807357752009-01-19T14:41:00.000-06:002009-01-19T14:41:00.000-06:00Hopefully it will get better SOON for you! Maybe ...Hopefully it will get better SOON for you! Maybe your iron levels are low and causing your energy to be low? Spinach has a lot of iron in it, you can add some to a salad. Green Smoothies are GREAT for too! I have a recipe on my blog for a GREAT tasting Green Smoothie! They allow you to get a lot of leafy greens without having to chew it, the blender does the chewing! LOL Link: http://shannon4j.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/green-smoothies/ (not trying to plug myself here, just trying to help!!)<BR/><BR/>As for surprising your hubby. I like to surprise mine with a nice hand written note telling him how much I appreciate him and what he does for our family, etc. Does he like back or foot rubs? You can offer to do that when you have an energy burst! Investing in him last longer than the housework anyway! hee hee <BR/><BR/>Routines work GREAT when you work them! Hopefully you can find one that works for your family. <BR/><BR/>Take care, & remember, you won't feel like this forever! :) (((((HUGS))))) Wish I were closer, I would come over & help you out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711550997062819324.post-25533730084625633522009-01-19T12:36:00.000-06:002009-01-19T12:36:00.000-06:00umm I 've got 2 sinks full of dirty dishes and I'm...umm I 've got 2 sinks full of dirty dishes and I'm not pregnant! sending you a burst of energy !true blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847748980702034600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711550997062819324.post-48866399730790285322009-01-19T11:48:00.000-06:002009-01-19T11:48:00.000-06:00Well, try not to be TOO hard on yourself. Obvious...Well, try not to be TOO hard on yourself. Obviously, your dh does not feel too neglected at this point - he probably realizes how weak & tired you are and that it just kinda comes with the territory (many pregnancies). They sort of force us to "slow down", to rely on others, to even lower our (self-imposed) standards.<BR/><BR/>Yes, God wants us to be helpmeets to our husbands, to mother our children, but many of the things we EXPECT from ourselves are simply that: OUR expectations - not His!<BR/><BR/>I am really typing this to myself as well. This being my 5th pregnancy since 2001 - well, I'm tired. But it won't always be this way. Eventually, our children really will 'rise up and call us blessed' - and it won't all be on our shoulders.<BR/><BR/>So rest, momma. It's okay. Do what you can, don't give in to despair and laziness - but rest. You need it, the baby needs it, your daughters need to see that a time of rest is okay and needed too! That way, maybe they won't deal with as much "guilt" as we do!<BR/><BR/>All my prayers~<BR/>LoriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295189090047887816noreply@blogger.com
