Life as of late

So, I have officially given up on my chalkboard pictures project. One tear shed. Between missing weeks on vacation and being too sick to even think about "cheese", I got way too behind to catch up without posing a 26 week tummy for a 20 week one.  I feel terrible because it was something I was really looking forward to doing throughout this pregnancy, and something I was excited about having for documentation purposes and teaching my little girl about her life in the womb.  But like I said, our lives became a little too crazy for this (all too simple) task. But I have a great collection of bump photos on instagram that will have to suffice for documenting her growth ... I pawn all the growth off on her although I have done quite some growing myself...

My body is having a hard time handling this sweet fetus named Nora.  Physically, I've hit a wall and don't seem to have the necessary energy to complete simple daily tasks.  After trying to fight off an infection that was causing contractions and the flu all at the same time, I can't seem to recuperate.

This physical set back has me feeling emotionally set back. I think I am so exhausted that it's toying with my emotions.  I feel so helpless at times.  I can't even stand in front of the mirror long enough to put make up on, let alone clean the dishes.  All I feel capable of doing is resting.  And at times, I just feel sad for no reason at all.  And then I just want someone to punch me and remind me that I have nothing to be upset about.  I have a sweet baby girl on the way and I couldn't be more excited!  But pregnancy has been hard on me. Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. But I look forward to nothing more than meeting this sweet girl.  I know she is more than worth it.
