Tired, but with lots of good times

  I have continued to feel better. My struggle now is total exhaustion. Throughout every day I experience tiredness at all levels from mildly fatigued to not being able to keep my eyes open. It sure beats what I was dealing with! My regret about being so tired is that I have very little patience with my family. My toddlers are such sweet and helpful girls. They full on clean the apartment almost every day and do almost everything I ask without much resistance, perhaps because I have been so short tempered and quick to yell. Yelling is the one thing that I really want to stop doing. I do not even mind if I still use the same words because often they are necessary, but I would really like to not yell them. I am frustrated when I loose my patience and hate hearing myself raise my voice. I have not always raised my voice with my kids. I know it is because I am just so tired most of the time. I am considering trying something like the new rave called "Thrive" since it has been approved for pregnant women. I think it's main purpose is weight lose, but it also focuses on overall health and well being as well as energy. I want to see if it will give me an energy boost so I can get back to being a more positive and loving parent. Sometimes I feel too tired to use parenting skills when my 2 year old throws a stubborn at me. I know that bullying her at this age, while affective, will not yield the results I want long term.
  So, that is where I am at the moment, seven months pregnant and ready to have my body back, but not ready to have my hands even more full.    

Light at the end of the tunnel!

It is a new year (2015) and a couple of weeks ago I seemed to have gotten over the pregnancy sickness hump!  Wahoo!!!  I'm hesitant to write it down fearful that I'll jinx this wonderful blessing and it will all come back.  I've been feeling good enough to get back into the kitchen and start eating healthy again.  I eat and juice fruits and vegetables, make my own kefir and enjoy a good raw cheese.  I have had so many side effects of eating horrible for so long finally go away and I am operating on a somewhat normal level.  I just had to make my own report of the break in horrible sickness and express the light I am now seeing at the end of the tunnel of pregnancy.
