The park wore me out...


i try to take bean to the park every morning. we usually leave around 9 am to avoid the heat of the day. today was a little different. bean didn't get up until 8:45. so the park was put on hold until 10:00 am. it was also different for another reason. i was hot and TIRED before we even got there. i was walking SLOW. i felt like i was breathing heavy. i felt really bad when i realized that i was trying to get bean to leave early. so, i stopped at the water and let her walk down and look at the water bugs and such. we found a daddy long legs near by and i managed to get it into her bug jug. she happily carried it most of the way home. overall it was a successful park trip but i came home feeling light headed, achy, and exhausted.

i know that being pregnant is never easy. the symptoms seem to be coming sooner and are harder to deal with this time around though. AND it seems to be exponentially harder with a toddler. i don't think i've ever been so exhausted. i don't think i've ever felt so guilty- there i times i don't want her around me! :( sigh. i makes me a little sad that i feel this way already, i mean, i have SO much longer to go!

So sweet, being pregnant and having a toddler is not easy , miss the easy days of being able to relax and put your feet up. So impressed you make it to the park so early, im normally not even dressed at that point

Hey, I'm not even pregnant and still a trip to the park wears me out sometimes!! I hope you get over the worst of those exhausting days soon. I love the idea of a bug jug...I should do that with N!

Having a toddler makes everything seem harder I reckon. No need to feel guilty. The tiredness should pass as you get into the second trimester...theoretically! Meanwhile, nap when she does. She does still nap doesn't she?
