Question/comment: Oh my - Barbara - you are healing my spirit with every word.I usually am strong enough to enjoy the life as it is but with the new baby on its way, my spirit is a little bit low.Thank you for all your advices, for the wisdom you want to share with us - I think we all appreciate it very much.
Answer:You are so welcome dear. :) and you bring up a good point...being pregnant changes things!I carried 12 children to full term. I had difficult pregnancies with all of them, and had 10 c-sections. Bet you didn't guess that! LOL!
You need to learn to love the stage you are in. When you are carrying a child, and trying to homeschool, and run a house, and be a wife, and......... well you get the picture! Guess what? It can be tiring! But, If I can do it so can you! I am not Wonder Woman- though I would like to wear the cape and boots some days. HAHA! I just learned to relax and enjoy where I am in life. My baby days are but a memory, but they are good memories!
I always got very sick early in the pregnancy. So I learned to start making and freezing meals the second I missed a period! I could manage to stuff one of those meals in the oven each evening, add a salad out of a bag and a roll and poof-supper! Even with my head in the toilet, supper got hot! Do I still do that? No, not often- because I don't need to now.
During those years I only bought one type of white tube sock for all the kids. They were knee high on some, calf length on others- depended on the length of the childs leg! LOL! But it saved me matching socks when I was too sick or too round to reach the basket!
Give yourself a break moms! Accept help with-out guilt! Do what needs done and let the rest wait for another season. Allow yourself the joy of enjoying being pregnant, with-out the fake expectations of perfection. This time will be past you all too soon. Enjoy the miracle you are a part of. Hugs, Barbara
