emotional - 08:29 PM
(filed under 'baby')
i've been rather emotional today. although really, i'm doing pretty well, from what i hear of the intense emotional states of some other pregnant women. today would be only my fourth emotional outburst.
this morning i chucked a bit of a spack at poor shroom because i was running around trying to clean up a bit before we had some people over for a barbecue & i felt sort of rushed. he wasn't doing anything wrong at all. when i finally got into the shower after doing this & that, i realised that i was frustrated at myself for not being able to do as much as i'd like, for getting tired so easily, for falling behind in the housework & not having done the things i had to do earlier in the week (which would have meant i didn't have to do them this morning), for having elephant legs & for feeling kind of fat & ugly.
tonight i'm getting all teary over the pics of britt, trauma teddies & even just reading other people's blogs & the nice things going on with them.
lucky shroom loves me anyway, emotional outbursts & all.
now though, i think i'll turn my brain off & watch the sunday night movie. i hope you've all had a good weekend. despite my hormones, i've had a pretty good one. 
what angela said! you may feel somewhat tired and like you're not doing all that you should, and it's easy to understand why you feel that way. when you get like that, you just need to try to remind yourself that you ARE doing something - you're providing all of life's necessities for a person who can't do anything for herself. it is hard to remember that at times, i think, because as a pregnant woman there are no immediate rewards for what you are doing. it's not like vacuuming where you can see the difference straight away, but it is, nevertheless, a very important job. keep your chin (and your feet!
) up and take it easy on yourself.
(would you hark at me, the queen of pregnancy-pity-parties, giving advice now!!)

I hope you're feeling better this morning.
Don't be too hard on yourself Coralie. You're nearing the end of your pregnancy and are big and providing nourishment and sewage services to a large baby. That's more important than vacuming or a clean loo!
And it means you're supposed to rest, before the babe gets here and keeps you tired and busy from being outside of you!
