Week 18: June 8 - 14 (Mango)

It is so hot outside. I usually don't like hot weather as it is, but combine some pregnancy hormones and I'm a total mess. I'm chewing icecubes, hanging out at grocery stores and sitting in front of fans. The whole pregnancy and heat thing is very true. The weather also makes you very tired which is never any fun. The last week, I've been running around like a mad woman working and mentally I'm overwhelmed. I am starting to feel like everything takes me too long to do and I have way to many things on my to-do list. I created a Pregancy Project Plan to help organize my tasks and allow me to sequence them with dates and timelines since majority of my tasks don't begin till after we return from our Babymoon. I still don't feel any better. I am not one of those women who has all the time in the world to sit and research baby stuff all day and all night. I also have a job with real deadlines and responsibilities, not to mention all my PMP CE training which has required my attention. I just feel behind everyone who is in my position. I know if I take a step back I am doing just fine. There is no need to jump the gun on setting up a nursery or buying things, because there isn't that much to do and I don't want to clutter my house with unnecessary things. In addition, the anxiety and desire to hear the baby's heartbeat and see the baby has consumed me. I think all of these items are a bad combination. I'm also working out and my body is so tired by the evening. I guess after writing everything down, I see I'm doing ok. I have a plan, I have it written down. I'm kicking butt at work and continuing to excel in my life. I can't really complain that much. We are going to Savannah next weekend with our friends and as much as I don't want to go because I feel like I have so much to do at home, I'm happy to enjoy the getaway since it will be some time before I can do something like that in the near future. Next week is our big Level 2 U/S and we get to officially find out if we're having boy or a girl. Can't wait. Just need to remember to breathe!
