Feeling Restless

I know I cannot relate through the pregnancy, but I can with my job. I am pretty miserable with my job and desperately looking for a job in the field I want. I am also in limbo!

It’s like the calm before the storm. (Ha Ha) No I think it totally normal, because when the baby is born your life will change, a huge change, and its almost like nothing you do will prepare you for it. And right now its like wait time, knowing and waiting. But trust me this time is crucial. Take care of yourself, and when your feeling those nagging feeling, get some fresh air, or relax on the couch. You and the baby will appreciate it.

I think that anything “off” you experience can and should be blamed on pregnancy. Use it while you can. Glad you’re feeling better.

Did you feel this way while planning your wedding? All prep and nothing happened until it happened? This is sorta the same thing, except perhaps, for you, the anticipation is much BIGGER!

Also, give yourself a break. You’ve been unwell… No one thinks or sees things correctly through the mist of illness. Oh, or through the fog of being PREGNANT! Gracious, there’s a lot going on there!

So give yourself and the Bambino a break. All you need right now is rest – so take it!

Everything will come together the way it always has for you. You need the 3 P’s… Practice Patience, Dear Prudence! Ha ha…

Soon you’ll be wishing for boredom! I promise!

Much love to you!

I think everyone feels that way. We feel that way when good things are happening as well as the bad. After I lost my mom I felt like it wasn’t fair that people were going about their lives with smiles on their faces, doing their every day things like grocery shopping and going to work. Then when I got pregnant I felt that way too, that I was carrying around a little secret or something. And once your beautiful baby arrives, you’ll feel like you’ve kind of been taken out of the world for just a little bit of time while you adjust to your new life. But… it’s amazing.

I really think this not only applies to awaiting the birth of your children, but also to life in general. When I graduated college, I was restless for the fast track, for results, for everything good to come my way, immediately! I felt like I was wasting my time, I had places to be, and everyday was a waste.

Needless to say, I was in a bad place. I recognized it and started…Knitting. I signed up for classes and I think Knitting with sixty year old women really gave me perspective. That Christmas, I completed a blanket (well, half of one) for the hubby (he still wants the other half) and was well on my way to realizing that the journey matters so much more than the destination.

Enjoy every moment. Relish every second. Know that soon enough your life will be even more fantastic. The anticipation, the build up, the nurturing you’re doing right now: breathe it, live it, welcome it.

Oh yes, my wife went through these same uneasy, “in a bit of a funk” feelings with both of her pregnancies. In her case, they were followed-up in the last few weeks by some intense “nesting” time. That was the time where she worked like crazy, and “strongly encouraged” me to do the same, to make sure every last detail was covered before the new gift from God arrived.

Maybe it’s nature’s way of giving you a timeout and period of rest before you switch into intense mommy mode?

It may just be the monotony of being indoors while you are sick. Every winter I get what I call cabin fever and warn DH that I have it. I want to do something but I don’t know what it is. In the meanwhile I am a little bit crabby and weepy. Eventually it passes. Living in an area with the longest winters I have ever known(snow in 7 months of the year) knitting has saved me.Nothing fancy, just knit, knit knit. Thank heavens that Goodwill will take all the scarves I make.
And Carolina Baker hit it right on the head when she said that the journey matters so much more than the destination. There will be days that you feel trapped at home with never ending housework and difficult children. You will ask yourself ‘is this all there is to life?’ The answer is yes. The daily process of living and how well we do it – with love and patience and tenderness- is it.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. After the showers are over and things start to trail off, there is a lull where you just want something to happen. It’s a good sign. A good sign that you’re ready. I went through all sorts of emotions: terror, happiness, anticipation, fear and then anxiousness.

Enjoy finishing up the nursery. I had that all done early too and had nothing to do but sit in the rocking chair staring at the walls and imagining my little in the room. I think I folded and sorted clothes for two weeks before he was born.

Everyone is right. Take time to do things that you want to do before the baby comes. Relax and pamper yourself. Although, I never took any of that advice. )

Good luck! It’s an amazing amazing journey once the baby arrives that just gets better and better with each day.
