Boy, I've been in a different world it seems the last two weeks. There has been so much going on and things to do with outside of my home that I haven't had much time at home. Thankfully Charles and kids have been really understanding. The pressures from it all had just zapped all my energy and I'm a really energetic person. Charles said my "lack of energy" is everyone else's normal. Really? My friend says I'm unusually energetic but I think my sisters are also that way. With having no energy right now I look at the work load around my house and it just seems a lot. No wonder "normal energy" women look at me like I'm nuts. I'm behind on everything. I've gotten out a lot to deal with some issues and coming home was just too overwhelming. Not because of my family but because I didn't have anything to distract my mind from it all. It's hard to explain when I can't tell you the things that have been happening. Anway...
I'm 32 weeks now and I'm having some really bad acid problems still and laying down at night can be difficult. When I lay down the acid tries to come up. I'm downing Tums but my doctor suggests Prilosac instead. I took my first pill today but it can take up to 4 days to start working. Since controlling the acid also helps with nausea it should make it easier for me to cook and clean in the kitchen. I also don't want to become a whiner. What I'm wondering is, why are guys hitting on my so much more now than I'm pregnant? It is sooo strange to me and also very annoying. Good grief. It's not like I walk around immodest or anything. Did you know this company wanted to have me take pictures every week of my bare belly to show pregnancy growth on my blog? I declined because I'm not baring my stomach on my blog. Only my husband sees my tummy like that. :D Other than the morning sickness and acid, this has been one of my best pregnancies ever. Amazing being it's the 7th one. I've gained 20lbs so far and hope not to go over 25lbs total. Crossing my fingers (and eating brownies).
The other night my husband was coughing and coughing. He couldn't get any rest and had to get up at 4:30am. Finally I went into the room, rubbed some Vics vapor rub on his feet, then put clean socks over them. Then I got him his inhaler and some cough drops. Finally he drifted off to sleep but it was a long night before I had thought of all that. The next day he talked about it on his job and also to me telling me if felt so good to have his wife take care of him like that in the middle of the night. Hmmm.... maybe I've been so focused on myself my poor husband is feeling left out. He has been sooo supportive of me. The nights I can't sleep and get sick, he always lets me sleep in the next morning since he gets home from work in the morning. When he gets home the kids are still sleeping so he'll take care of them till I'm ready. He has yet to ever complain about the lack of home cooked meals because of the morning sickness. Geesh. Do I really deserve this guy? This week I am really gonna focus on him and find ways to make him feel extra special.

Ah, yes. I can relate to a lot of it. I am only 12 weeks, but the energy and pregnancy brain starts early. Sorry to hear about the acid problems. I hope the meds help :(
I hope you feel better soon and life slows down just a hair so you can enjoy these last few weeks of prgnancy, a friend of mine whos in her mid 30's was getting hit on at a highschool baseball games and shes 19 weeks pregnant. I think people are just naturally drawn to the glow of life??? I cant think of any other reason why boys/men would hit on married pregnant woman lol.
