If you know my mom then you will laugh at the title of this post. My mom would frequently say this phrase in a rather sleepy voice right after we finished dinner. Somtimes seconds later she was actually asleep at the dinner table. I think this phrase pretty much sums up our life right now. I've made it to my 7th month and I feel like I am tired all the time. I also tend to stress myself out by thinking of what feels like 90 billion things that I need to do before the baby comes. My mind is constantly filled with things such as: Does he have enough clothes, when will I get the carseat, what if I have the baby early, what books should I have been reading, do we have everything we need, how will we afford everything when I quit my job, etc, etc. I feel like all of the sudden December has gotten really close and there is so much that needs to be done that I haven't even started. That thought alone can wear me right out. My lunch breaks at work used to be spent walking are now usually spent sleeping because I apparently can no longer manage to work 8 hours without a nap in there somewhere. Ridiculous! Then there is Chad. This poor guy has an insane schedule. He is still swimming in the mornings at 5:30am, working way too many hours, taking both MBA and law classes, keeps up with his busy calling, trying to find a job for next summer, and on top of that all still makes time for me. I'm not sure how he does it all, but I do know he keeps plugging away even though he's exhausted. He's pretty much amazing and I feel grateful to have a husband that works so hard for us.
In other news, last night I went on a Target run and found myself a diaper bag. The best part about it is that it's actually not a diaper bag, it's a PURSE! It's big, red, cute, and I'm in love with it. So I will happily be toting around my very large red purse instead of a diaper bag when our little man comes. Oh and to make it even better I got a killer deal on it! Gotta love Target!

Sorry you are SO tired - that happens!!! So funny you are going to use a purse - that is exactly what I did and I got a killer deal on it as well - $13 - gotta love that Target, I know I do...
I couldn't make it through the day without a nap either. I think naps are as essential as prenatal vitamins to a pregnant woman. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with as a long distance friend. I'm glad Chad is being a good husband to you in addition to all his busy work, sounds like you've got a good man.
Oh good, a red diaper bag..aka purse!...HAHA
I am sorry you are stressed, and tired. But trust me everything always works out. Somehow you always have everything you need when the baby comes. You will be fine. :) I am sure your diaper bag is way cute!!
Seriously, Target is the best! And I hear you about the tiredness- you've got a lot going on!! I hope you can still sleep though, because that gets real crappy when you can't! Hope you're doing well!
Rich's Mom once commented on how hard it is to grow a baby, I always agreed because of being tired all the time. But the baby is so worth it at the end, even though it's hard to get everything done. I'm excited for you to have this baby soon, but not too soon:)
I always justify shopping to Jared when I know deals are going on. The bad thing is I always end up spending too much and I would have saved money buying something full price :) It's alright, though.
I bet you are so excited to meet your little one. They are so fun. When you are in town you'll have to let me know. We would love to stop and say hi.
Ooooh! I want to see a picture of the bag! I just have a black diaper bag and keep thinking a nice big purse would be much better . . .
Sorry you are feeling tired. I know
pregnancy can be so tough! Hang in there...
I wish I could tell you that the tireds go away soon, but I think you still have the tied, streesed out stuff with every baby. The good news is that when you have your next baby, you will be home and you can take a nap with your kids. Something to look foward to:) I'm glad you found a cute diaper bag/ purse!
I know exactly what you mean! Surprisingly enough, you will sleep more when the little guy arrives! Everyone will tell you you will sleep less, but you will be so much more comfortable and have your energy back! I am so excited for you. There is a lot of preparation for these little ones but you will get it all done and if you don't, you will have the essentials and that's all that matters!
Picking out a car seat was such an ordeal for me. I don't know why but I had the hardest time and even cried about it (I think it was the hormones that made me cry:) I would say that's really the only thing you have to have so you can bring baby home with you! Other than that, you can get the little extras even after he arrives. Good luck!
