You are doing something only you can do- grow the baby. Everything else- feeding the kids, cleaning the house, paying the bills, doing the laundry, supervising the homework, etc, someone else can do! For the next few weeks or months while you are down and out, everyone else needs to pick up the slack!<br /><br />Can you make a list for your husband? Honestly, my guess is that he probably has no idea how bad you are actually feeling. Don't try to be superwoman. Do you have family or friends around that could help? What about ward members?<br /><br />I'm thinking that if you could get some help to clean your house, you'd probably start feeling a little bit less out of control. I'm sure you could find some people who would volunteer to watch your kids for you a couple of afternoons a week so you could sleep.<br /><br />Also, this is a time for your kids to step it up as well. Having your oldest make pb&j's for everyone isn't going to kill them, and if it means you don't have to get up off the couch, it's a bonus! <br /><br />Good luck- it's so hard to feel crappy all the time.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187291686384680925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-23771430990131932022010-08-30T16:26:18.563-06:002010-08-30T16:26:18.563-06:00Thank you for the encouraging words.

I don't mean to complain, but it's just so hard when you can't do anything.<br /><br />Today was actually an okay day, despite the fact I was up with kids most of the night. But trying to get the basic things done, like paying the bills on time, is so hard when I'm like this. <br /><br />Anyway, I'll try to be more positive from now on.JennaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724959154514125980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-7380912466729952122010-08-30T11:49:15.037-06:002010-08-30T11:49:15.037-06:00I'm sorry you are so sick.

I know exactly how you feel. One day it will pass and you will have a cute little baby in your arms and you will be so thankful for him/her.Devin & Ruthannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345014689890122270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-63045279814030747892010-08-30T11:05:46.132-06:002010-08-30T11:05:46.132-06:00I know how you feel because I'm in the same bo...I know how you feel because I'm in the same boat myself. It is no fun being sick and feeling completely incapacitated all of the time. However, you body is making a baby. Every time you feel sick there are ten women wishing they could have their head over a toilet being sick at the same time for the same reasons. Your house is a mess, but it is not always going to be a mess. You could have a clean house and have a life of order without a wanted pregnancy, or you can have a mess and at least know your body is busy making a baby. Pregnancies are not the flight of fancy for me as they have been in the past but for my last one I have tried to adopt the mantra, "Come what may and love it". Realizing the good that is going on in your life will help you physically feel better. Good luck.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275927651275598653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-5209658683963533952010-08-30T09:14:01.375-06:002010-08-30T09:14:01.375-06:00I am really praying that this part passes fast for...I am really praying that this part passes fast for you! You are describing how my last pregnancy felt, and it just sucks. Please let me know if you need anything, even if it's just to take your kiddos for a few hours so you can nap!Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912952535787322363noreply@blogger.com
