When the couch is better than the bed....

here's going to be a #herestobeingreal and #realmomlife post :)

I have a love hate relationship with these posts. I love posting them, because I love helping other moms know that their lives are not that different than mine. I like being real so that there is at least one blog out there that you don't have to feel bad when you are done reading it, you can know you woke up looking better than i did :)

But I also hate it, because I put myself out there #yaknow? Its kinda scary, because I come across as not a perfect person. I share that I struggle with pregnancy related depression, I eat too much junk food while pregnant, I share many un-attractive photos. 

But in the end, I do it anyway because I love helping others ;)

Anyway

So, today. I woke up in the worst mood. 

I slept horrible last night. 

My hip problem has been feeling "better" over the past month and I have been loving it. I don't have to be dropped off at the door for everything. I can actually take Eli to a park and walk around behind him. I can walk the halls of church without wanting to cry.

But yesterday, the tides changed.

As I went to bed, getting into bed hurt sooooo bad. Then every time i had to roll over to get out of bed I felt like i wanted to die. Like worse pain than ever before. Then i couldn't go back to sleep because of the pain, and I'd have to get up again to go to the bathroom. I think I made record amounts of trips last night, with the worst pain every time. I am surprised I didn't cry, or at least wake nate to help me out of bed each time 

I think I am going to sleep in my mom lazy chair tonight.

#lazyorgenius?

Anyway. So besides having a freak out moment that I was paralyzed when I woke up this morning because I couldnt walk for 10 mins, the rest of my day consisted of:

#warning

#momlifecomingup

having a crying child open the shower curtain a million times because he didn't like his favorite toy now that mom was in the shower

have the pediatrician's office tell me that Eli is behind on 4 shots because our last pediatrician didn't keep records right

#lotsofcrying

not being able to walk around my house

wash all my newborn stuff (like clothes, burp cloths, blankets, nursing tanks, etc)

almost suffocate because the dryer has a problem that the maintenance doesnt think is a problem 

(you are supposed to be seeing the complete fog on the windows and the drips coming from the top)

BUT

I got a lot done!

on the left is my new consolidated "do before baby comes or you will go crazy" to-do list 

on the right is the pages of lists I have been living from trying frantically to get things done in the 2 hours I have energy to do things each day while eli sleeps :)

I used to be a list person.

it ran and ruined my life

I gave up on them 2 years ago, but my pregnancy brain this time has made me resort to writing them again otherwise I am lost on what I should do besides eat and change Eli's diapers

so I am excited that my list is so much shorter :)

#onlyonemonthleft

Anyway

Besides all the #momlife stuff I just shared

I actually got all my newborn stuff washed and put away and packed my hospital bag and resolved things with my insurance today :)

#sidenote
you guys, look at what socks I found in the big bag of socks my mom gave me that I never went through with Eli
#overwhelmedmuch

but look at them, they are for baby's with kankles!

I couldn't stop laughing! why are the tops bigger than the bottom?
#sorryifyouhaveakanklechild #illsendthemtoyou

anyway

hooray for me getting all that done, right?

so it was that kind of day

hopefully tomorrow goes better

#hopefullyicanwalk #hopefullyiwillgooutstide

#iwillalwayssmilethough

Good luck with your day!

don't follow my example and live by to-do lists

life is about the people you love
