Making Progress

September 22, 2010 by jenbshaw

It’s been a ROUGH week for this pregnant mama. I allowed myself to get completely bogged down and overwhelmed, survival instinct kicked in and I retreated. The physical aches of being seven and a half months pregnant (oy the back cramps and sore ribs) slammed head first into the crazy emotional hormones currently raging through me and let’s just say that no one won that battle, it was ugly ALL AROUND. Add to that a case of anemia that makes it difficult to drum up the energy to get out of bed and, well…there just isn’t much getting done around here.

Since I don’t have a supply of Xanax just laying around I decided yesterday to try to “work through” an anxiety attack. Imagine my surprise when it kind of worked. I stayed up until 2 am last night putting together furniture and sorting wee baby clothes. Here’s a little sneak peak at how her room is shaping up.

I’m pretty sure the “working through it” success had more to do with pure exhaustion than anything
else but still today I woke up rested and feeling more equipped to
tackle everything looming on my to-do list. Here’s to hoping that a few of the more difficult tasks get accomplished next, like finding that pot of gold I know is hiding around here somewhere.

    I remember when I was pregnant, and I had to go off my anxiety meds, my dr. gave me a sheet of things I could do to “help” beat my panic attacks.
    The top one was “pulling weeds.”
    It’s sounds kinda what you did here.
    It looks great so far, excited to see where it goes!
