Yesterday was a tough day. I think it was the first time my body felt the need to remind me that I am pregnant and should maybe slow down a little. Of course first time round it was easy to slow down but now it's a little more difficult thanks to a certain baby. I struggled to make it through the afternoon and ended up going to bed before 21h00.
Today I was determined not to have an afternoon burn out. Amelie took Amaia all morning whilst I got on with some chores. There were some dull things to do but I still remembered to relax and enjoyed a coffee and pain au chocolat and slowed down enough to read my book. It's been a while since I've let myself relax with a book.
At home I decided I needed some new rest and relaxation rules. First of all the easy one, when Amaia has her siesta so do I. Then I needed to deal with the other things that make my day burdensome, most of these can be fixed with a little organization and planning. The planning of weekly meals would make shopping easier and planning mine and Amaia's outfits would definitely cut out my morning manickness and the mess I make. Another thing I need to do is just keep on top of things in terms of tidying and washing up so that I'm not overwhelmed by all the things left to do. I kept to some of these rules this afternoon plus I went for a long (slow) walk with Amaia and I do feel so much better today. Husband and I had a healthy, home cooked dinner, the washing up is done and the kitchen is tidy. I'm packed for the weekend. I know tomorrow's outfits and menu and I promise to be in bed by 22h00. Lady L is looking after herself.
Ps yesterday's title should have read "Exhausted".
