loss of motivation

I am 35 weeks pregnant and been put on leave from work. So I am basically home all day, except minor errands, getting kids from school and doctors appointments. I have a ton of free time and there is so much that needs to be done around here. However, I can't do it. Even if I set a simple goal like unload and reload the dishwasher, it doesn't get done. I can't bring myself to do much of anything and it's bothering me. Like my mind wants to do these things but my body had control and just wants to sit and not doanything. Is this normal? Is there a way to fight past it? I feel incredibly useless and almost like I am letting everyone down by being lazy all day.

Ha, well remember your making a baby! That's a lot of work. I find that if I force myself to work out in the morning, light prenatal stretches and stuff, it gets me motivated. But don't beat yourself up. You kind of deserve to be lazy.
