Resting and bored

So far this first trimester of pregnancy has been tough! I'm so looking forward to the feel good and blooming days of the second trimester. I have been continuing to have hormone shots weekly for the tear I have. As of last Wednesday the doctor said it hadn't healed. I will need to continue treatments for at least another two weeks. Sigh. I also decided to take more rest for at least a week. That really seemed to make a difference when this happened during my pregnancy with Gracyn. I really haven't slowed down all that much this go around and decided that I would really need to do that. How do you do that with two other kids? Poor Jack has been suffering the brunt of the family load...not to mention continuing to work a full load as well. He's been really great about it though. He's cleaning, washing clothes, cooking meals, watching kids, bathing kids, doing school drop offs and pick ups. I know he's worn out. It is hard for me to just be sitting there without helping at all. That isn't my nature. But, I'm ordered to rest. After all I am growing a person! Last night I felt a little stir crazy. I was so tired of sitting and I was miserably uncomfortable. My body was saying, "get up and move!" It ached from lack of activity. I haven't been able to sit down this much since before Gracyn was born! Motherhood keeps you in constant motion. I didn't realize how hard it would be to just sit for one whole day. I'm supposed to do this for a week??? Well, I guess I should try to see the value in it since when our foursome becomes five....I probably won't be able to sit down again for years to come!
