Dead Tired

I am now just a little over 4 weeks away from holding my baby! YAY! I keep having people tell me "I dont think you are going to make it" What is even more scary is when they say I wont make it to October....Ummmm. She isn't due until the 23, but because of my c-section I am having her a week early (10-15) So when people say I wont make it to October I just want to slap them. Are they trying to jinx me, do they realize that by saying that they are putting that vibe out into the universe for my child to be more than 3 weeks early? DO they understand the risks of premature birth.....okay okay, I know - I am completely being hormonal here, no one is wishing harm on me or my baby, they are more than likely just commenting on how big my belly is - which by the way is mean too! I know that no one is trying to be mean spirited...but I get so frustrated sometimes! Anyway, as I embark on the last 4 weeks of pregnancy I am starting to turn into a zombie of sorts. I get plenty of sleep at night, but the daytime is killing me. I start off really well. Logan and I have our morning talk and cuddle, then we play (I want the sun to come out so we can play outside!) We play and play, and by 11:30 I am ready for a nap, then I spend the next few hours, hoping Logan will lay down and take his so that I can take one too! I somehow seem to pick up just enough energy to get dinner ready and on the table and socialize with my husband, but by 9:00 I want to be in bed! I feel aweful because I didn't give Logan his bath last night.... I usually put him in the tub at 9:15 or so, sometimes a little later - but last night, I laid on the couch and started to rest, praying it would give me enough energy to give Logan his bath and I completely passed out! At 8:45 I got up walked to the bedroom and went to bed! Geez! It's not that I am doing anything strenuous...I am just really tired. I think I am going to up my dosage of iron pills....I am supposed to be taking 3 a day, but I only take 2, because of the effect it has on my stomach...I am going to hop it up to three and I guess I will just have to rely on some other meds to help with the stomach issues! Grrrr....I hate taking pills with a passion and right now, I take a prenatal, a DHA, two iron pills, and 2 fiber pills...AHHH! I guess we will be bumping up the fiber and the iron! oh Goody!
p.s. Logan will be getting a daytime bath today before nap time!!!!
Thank goodness JR gets to do it tomorrow night! I guess its a good thing he isn't super dirty, but still! I am disappointed in myself...what will I do when I have two of them?
