Yes...I am quoting from another Disney movie. What can I say? I have 3 kids in my house and we are Disney Club Members so we have tons of the Disney movies.
This time I'm quoting from the animated movie Finding Nemo. You know that part when Dori looses the goggles and they start to swim down towards a very dark spot while Dori sings along: "Just keep swimming...". Then they see a light that makes them feel good and they are all happy, that is until they find out that the light it's a horrible looking fish that wants to eat them, then Marlin delivers the line that I like to use..."Good feeling is gone!" Well that's how I feel at this time of my pregnancy. Funny because I have never felt so good in any of my pregnancies before and now that I'm in the end I have never felt so tired...no energy at all! Or in other words...good feeling is gone! But I still try to tough it out and do things with my family without complaining specially because I love being outside. Can't stand this weather anymore...all I can say is: Where's the sun?
Anyways...this brings me to my second life lesson learned that I mentioned in my previous post. So here it goes:
When you are pregnant...and the "nesting" fase quicks in. Whatever you do, do not, I repeat, DO NOT sit down and write a list of things that you want to have done before baby is born. That is things that needs to be done in the house of course. Fight that urge with all that you got...sit in a corner and wait until that feeling is gone! Why you may wonder? Simple...because you will not be able to finish that list no matter how hard you work, or in my case...not work because most of the days I just don't feel like lifting a finger. So in addition to clean the house daily, cook and take care of the kids and now also taking care of sick kids, Bellamie came down with a case of the Swine flu but I'm happy to report that she's already doing much better, and not to mentioned how hard your body is working making that baby inside of you, it's really almost impossible to add to your list of things to do. And that stinking list that you made...well...that list will only make you feel guilty and bad about the things that you are NOT doing...even now that I have put the list away so I don't have to look at it anymore, I know what I wrote and what I want it done. So ladies...next time that you find yourselves pregnant and nesting remember...do not pick up a piece of paper and a pencil! Fight that urge with all that you got! Snap that pencil in half and throw it in the garbage if you have to. So there you have it.
Hugs and throwing away all pens and pencils in the house,
Tine
