Well, #4 pregnancy is kicking my butt. I feel so bad for my family, especially my kids in the morning. I am so tired and sick in the morning that they don't get any attention after Tula'i is put down for his morning nap. I just curl up on the couch or recliner and fall asleep. They could walk out the front door and I probably wouldn't even know it. Cliff, bless his heart, has been so understanding and patient with me...he has learned well. He did the laundry today inbetween calls and working. The past few mornings he has come out of his office/masterbedroom and there I am knocked out on the couch letting Kalena go to town on as many Dora and Diego's it takes for me to get enough sleep. Maika usually goes down to, but if not then they are both just doing whatever the heck they like keeping each other company. My days now begin around noon...when I feel okay to get up and get going. My home on the other hand doesn't get the attention it needs and is a disaster area. I finally got off my butt today and mopped the floor after 2 weeks of letting it go. I wouldn't even eat anything off of the floor if I had dropped something...so disgusting if my kids have done it. Well, bless my husband for being understanding and my children for letting me sleep. Hope it all ends soon, gotta love it! Not really, just the end product!

Darn. You mean non pregnant people should mop their floor sooner than two weeks. And not let their kids play computer games or watch tv all day? Heck I am lazy and you are amazing.
OHHHHHHHH! I soooooooo feel your pain. I am doing the EXACT same thing over here! Seriously, I CAN'T GET UP! I CAN'T! What would I do w/o PBS kids. I seriously die when I hear the 1st kid in the morning...I just want to curl up in the fetal position and cry. Once they are all awake, I change all diapers, feed breakfast, and I turn on the tv and CRASH on the couch until I feel like I might be able to take on the day...which isn't before 10:30... and if I shower... it is lunch time and then time for naps. I can't function! Sooooooo glad to hear that I am not the only one! I had to read your post out loud to my husband so that he could also hear that I am not the only one. My husband is a HUGE help when he is home...but I need him most in the MORNING..but he is at work by 5am, so I get no relief!\"/ I am somewhere around 13 weeks, and I still can't cook dinner. I am soooooo freaking sick. I am TIRED beyond belief in the morning, but not super sick in the morning... the sickness gets worse and worse as the day goes by...and by 2pm I am dying of sickness... Dinner is BY FAR the hardest meal of the day to eat let alone cook. My family is malnourished and poorly taken care of. My house has gone to POT! I have only taken care of the necessities of survival, and NOTHING else. 3 months..not a toilet cleaned, floors swept...NOTHING....unless Eric got so grossed out and did something himself, it has not been done! I guess we do the best we can. It is temporary, right? I can't wait to get an OUNCE of energy back. I am just so glad to hear that I am not alone!
Maile! Congratulations! I didn't know you were pregnant, too. I'm over (I think) the all day sickness...but we still like to take naps. I designate it nap time anytime any of the boys are crabby. And there's usually someone crabby all the time. I also feel bad for letting the boys watch PBSkids for hours on end...but I just need to rest. I got my floor mopped the other day. It'd only been 2 months. You're doing so well to do two weeks. Of course, in my house I barely get the thing mopped before someone spills something sticky. A couple of wetwipes usually do a good enough spot clean :)
