I think I'm human again

  • Sep. 8th, 2008 at 9:23 AM

I'm feeling much better. I actually managed to get a ton of housework done yesterday. It was starting to look like toxic waste land in here. There's so much left to be done. I'm disgusted with the amount of clutter in our house & desperate to make it all go away. I want to be like Mary Poppins. Ya know..snap my fingers, sing a diddy, & it'll all go away.
Still having issues with swelling & headaches. I hope to God it's not because of my blood pressure. I know that my pulse rate has been crazy high but it makes sense considering the volume it's pumping right now. I'm just ready for this little one to come out so I can feel like my old self again. On the other side, I've been able to actually see him roll & kick lately. I'd forgotten how beautiful & exciting this stage is. I'm trying to enjoy it before he gets big enough to wedge himself up under my ribs.

Warning! Potential TMI!!!
My poor husband is being neglected..ahem..ya know...lately. I'm to the point right now where I have absolutely no desire for physical touch or any kind of sexual activity at all. I almost feel...violated when he tries to mess around with me, which is absolutely ridiculous. I feel so awful. I know the best cure is to just do it whether I feel like it or not but seriously..any advice? I know it's awkward to ask but I know that you've all probably been in this place before. 

Okay...pictures from the fair in Norman the other day. The kids had a blast.

Poor guys. 1st it's pregnancy that kills our sex drive..then breastfeeding. It's hopeless.

one handed typing- sorry
I had that "problem" as well, and my hubby was pretty understanding about it. I finally just did enough to satisfy him, if you know what i mean. it worked for us.

That usually works. I think our main problem is that our only time alone together is after the kids have gone to bed & by that time I'm too exhausted to do anything but pass out.

um, your babies are big kids. faith looks so grown up!
ya - the TMI thing, i don't know what to tell you. i think a lot of it has to do with lack of sleep, and when it's jiggy time, after the kids are sleeping or whatever, it's like WTF don't touch me i'm sleeping. or at least that's how it was for me :)
