just lazy maybe?

I was diagnosed with asthma last spring.  After that I had to take it easy up and down stairs, especially carrying things. I got pregnant in June.  I have an even harder time with stairs now, but its manageable. My problem is, I was waiting for my nesting stage. Waiting to do my cleaning and washing etc. Now that I've waited so long im very overwhelmed with no nesting coming on. I have a tremendous amount of clutter that I know is not safe. I just wish I felt like doing something about it. Some days I feel ok with it because I don't feel up to tackling it and other days I feel like a lazy blob waiting for my fairy godmother to come and fix everything. I'm tired of being tired.

I know how you feel. I was sick a lot so I have lots to finish too. I made myself  a big list and just try to check off 1-4 things a day with the time left. How about family or friends?  Grandma loves to fold baby clothes and help me with laundry when she stops by. I make her a cup of tea or coffee and she's happy to help out.

My doc said lung function decreases during preg so don't beat yourself up or stress.  I did not have asthma ever but I get short of breath during conversations sometimes. Ask for help so you'll feel prepared to enjoy your bundle.

I feel the same way. We are moving next month and I'm 22 weeks now. I know I've got to get packing, but I get tried so quickly. I've gotten alot done thanks to my mom's help, but I try to avoid it when possible. I'm a big girl already and It's getting harder to bend over. I just try to take it one day at a time.

How far along are you?  I am almost 29/30 weeks and feel the exact same way.   We need to move our daughter to another room to start on the nursery and that has not happened yet.
