All done

Well, it's official. Jacob is officially weaned. YAHOO! Not that I didn't love nursing him (though he got pretty bad by the end), but being 4 months pregnant and nursing a one year old is a huge drain on the system. UGH. Though I'm sure the reason I haven't been hardly sick with this pregnancy could be related to the fact that I already have a lot of similar levels of hormones racing through my body, so adding a pregnancy to the mix really didn't affect me so much. Since I quit nursing him I've been feeling so BLAH. Totally opposite of what I was expecting. I was hoping to have all this newfound energy. But no. Not even close.

I AM EXHAUSTED. I could sleep an entire day and night, everyday. I pretty much spend all day on the couch. It's pretty bad. I have no motivation. My once eager resolve to be so active and physically fit has been thrown out the window. I can hardly climb a set of stairs without getting dizzy. And yes, that's really embarrassing to say. This is coming from someone who used to work out 5-6 days a week. I want to work out, I really do! But every time I start to think of something that involves energy, I fall back on the couch and have a nap instead. Right now I am sacrificing some critical zzz's while Jacob has a nap.

Speaking of the little munchkin... he's still teething, and it's still a nightmare. I slept with him on the floor last night because he was needing some comfort and he wouldn't sleep on his own. He's got 3 teeth coming in all at once, and I imagine it's not a pleasant business for him. It certainly isn't for me. He wants to be held all the time, so I pick him up. But then he wants to play on the floor. So I put him down, and he cries. Needless to say, I'm really glad it's Reading Week-- Jay has been a tremendous help. He's still off at school everyday, but he comes home early to hang out with us and I really really appreciate it. I can't imagine being a single parent. I think I would die.

Already I can't wait to have this little baby and be un-pregnant again. And I still have 24 weeks to go. HA. Don't get me wrong. I L-O-V-E being a momma and am so excited to be starting again with a new baby in August.

And there's Jacob screaming because he can't sleep. Wonderful.
