Some days I just feel like the worst mom. Today, I fell asleep. Literally. Fell asleep, while my child played. Who does that? I was out for like 30-45 minutes before LL finally jumped on me telling me to get up.
I am so tired lately from packing and just carrying this big belly around that we haven't gone to the gym (which he actually enjoys), we haven't gone to the park, we haven't had play dates -- although we did finally manage to squeeze in a visit to Disneyland. This whole pregnancy I've just been exhausted. I never got my energy back and what little I'm realizing I had in the 2nd trimester has quickly disappeared since beginning the third.
I'm cranky, my patience isn't what it usually is with him and I just hope and pray these are not the things he remembers about me. I love being able to spend time with him, to do all the things he likes to do, but after reading the same books over and over each day, I'm tired of reading them. Isn't that awful? I feel terrible.
I'm so hot I just want to freeze out this house, because I am constantly with a film of sweat on me, but my little guy is fighting a cold, so I only freeze him out part of the day because I'm only partly selfish.
I totally suck.

Awwww Lizzie, I should come over for a play date, but a different kind. One where I watch both kids in Leonard's room while you sleep. Poor baby.
Done it, done it, done it. I guess we both suck. But don't be so hard on yourself! You're pregnant with a toddler and you're moving! That's a lot! He can survive not going to the park. In fact, it might be good for him, considering that you might not feel up to going a lot of places once the baby comes. Get the rest you need any way you can!
I'm with Lisa. You're way too hard on yourself. You're an extraordinary mother. A few days of being human won't change that.
You gotta take on your bro's motto. "I DON'T DO GUILT." If you ask my boys what they remember about me when they were in school...they said, "All you did was sleep." I didn't say that to freak you out, but when I look back, I now know I was ANEMIC. I still am.
You are AWESOME & HUMAN. If lil' Leo didn't even notice you were sleeping until 30 minutes later...I can't imagine that he was worried too much about it. LOL
LOVE YOU SISTA!
