Holy Cow am I tired beyond belief. I honestly do not remember feeling this tired with Harrison. I know I was exhausted with him but I was working 40+ hours a week and I didn't have time to feel this sleepy tired with him. With Harrison I was emotionally and physically exhausted, with you all I crave is my bed or the couch while wearing my bathrobe!
I do try to stay busy with Harrison to fight the tired feeling. Today, I had tentative plans with a friend and a friend of Harrison's for a play date but I decided to reschedule the plans for tomorrow. Once I did that I had every intention of cleaning the house, well do you know how much cleaning got done today? NOTHING. NOT ONE THING. I put the TV on for Harrison as I prepared to clean and then I sat on the couch and never made it back up to clean. I figured I could work a little and barely moved all day except for going to the grocery store around 5 PM and moving to the bed to take a nap with Harrison around 2 PM. This overwhelming tired feeling has become depressing. I just feel so overwhelmed with the building house work and toys and constant messes that it is just taking over. I keep hoping this tired phase passes real soon.
Today I considered reaching out to a cleaning person to possibly come once a month. I did this when I first got pregnant with Harrison and it was the best money I ever spent. It is hard for me to justify both for money reasons since I am not working full time and because I am home full time you'd think I would have the time to clean! But I do remember what a relief it was to know my house was being cleaned by someone other than me! On the other hand, I know me and I know I will end up cleaning before the person gets here to clean. But if they could do the bathrooms and vacuum and mop that would be huge. HUGE. And it might be worth it to save my sanity. Definitely something to consider.
Here is a sneak peek of two of the messes that your older brother creates in his room in just a few short minutes. I usually forget about the mess in his room until we go in there for bedtime and I think I am done cleaning up for the day and then BOOM! One more mess. That is usually when I start shaking my head and think "Oh my God, I can't bear to put away one more toy!"

Even Clancy is overwhelmed by the mess!
Here's to hoping my energy returns as we are nearing the end of the first trimester. I can't believe it!
Love you so much,
Love Mommy
