Warning: This is a total complaining post
I am totally cranky today. I am pissed about Christmas. There is still like 50 things to do and I have no desire to do any of them - we have not put up our tree yet or decorated it and I do not want to - the ceiling in the kitchen is still a mess from the roof leak we had last week. I am not done my shopping and it looks like at this point it may not get done. I am not even close to being done wrapping the gifts - is it bad to give people unwrapped gifts?? We have a pollyanna to go to on Sat. night and I really do not want to go - but I think my hubby will be upset if I do not go because it is for his family and I missed last years. I wanted to cancel the Christmas party I was going to have at my house but hubby will not let me - he said he would do everything for it. He has been helping out alot - he is going food shopping - he got the tree and is doing the dishes and washing the clothes. It is just that I have no desire to do anything. I am so tired all of the time and now I am so scared to do to much - I am scared I will bleed again - I figured it I can work all day long that is enough for me - but at Christmastime it is just not enough. Plus I have not even dealt with the fact that my brother his wife and two toddler children are coming in next week and staying for 6 days in my tiny house. I just want the next two weeks to be over and done with.

Oh girl-I could have written this post myself. I'm 7w3d, and I'm hosting my family's party on the 20th. The house is a disaster, nothing is wrapped, I haven't even made my menu, and I can't get off the couch. I'm so sick or tired when I get home from work, I can't even think about doing anything. Glad your hubby is helping, though! You'll get through it!
I think you are smart to listen to your intuition and take it easy. Please don't let the stress of the season get to you, can you put all the gifts in gift bags and throw tissue on top? Last night, I did about 1/2 my shopping and ran out of energy to wrap. Tonight, I am going to try and wrap them. I generally try to do 1 thing each evening. About one more month and you will start feeling better! Hang in there!
This was me last week. I am still exhausted and I am 12 weeks tomorrow. It was really hard for me to host and cook all day without falling over - If I could have just layed my head down, on say the counter - I would have been out. I totally know where you are coming from. Maybe gift bag what you can and only wrap what it necessary? I hate wrappng especially when we are so tired. Take it easy and you will get through it one day at a time.
I didn't have a tree last year since I was in the hospital for preterm labor and then after was told to take it easy...so I didn't want to strain myself by decorating. So no big deal if you don't have one this year.
Also- gift bags!! Put everything in bags with tissue paper so you don't have to wrap :) It sounds like your hubby is helping. Just take it easy and do what you can, the stress will be over soon!
