I might have been crazy for wanting 4 kids. I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant and this pregnancy is hard. I can't stand to go in the kitchen, which makes it difficult to feed my family and means my kitchen is always a mess. My boys are living on cold cereal and PB&J (So where are all the dishes coming from!!?). Allen is grilling big batches of chicken to take to work, which makes me sick to even think about. And I am EXHAUSTED! It probably doesn't help that I have 3 busy boys. Grayson is the worst offender. He is into EVERYTHING and I literally can't sit still for a minute b/c in a few seconds he's moved on to something else. Even as I type this, I can hear him getting into the lazy susan, which holds all my baking stuff. Yes, cocoa powder all over this morning! (My fault for not fully baby proofing. But is it really worth it for the 3-6 months we'll be living here?). MY.HOUSE.IS.A.DISASTER. and it's driving me crazy, but I don't have the energy to do anything about it, and I don't have a husband with the time to help more than once or twice a week. Stupid grad school--when he's home he's not really "home" and when he's gone he's gone ALL.DAY.LONG. Hayden and Torrin are now entertaining themselves in the bath, which means a tidal wave of mess in the bathroom, and guess who gets to clean THAT up. Please, let me get some energy back once I get to the second trimester.
Sorry for complaining. I don't think it'll matter anyway since I don't think anyone reads my blog. I just needed an outlet.

I read your blog because I miss you and love you.
This will pass, you can get through this, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. You would be famous for superpowers if you didn't feel overwhelmed right now!
I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Thanks, Joan. I think I probably lost many of my readers because I don't post enough. :) The evening has been better. We got out of the house for a wedding reception and the boys were angels. Now I have them slaving away at cleaning up toys and I'm about to tackle the kitchen. :)
Well congrats...I think. You are in Utah yes? Let me come help you!
Sorry things are rough...didn't know you were expecting! Congrats! I can't even imagine having 4 right now...you are a brave woman.
I am so sorry! Pregnancy does suck especially in the beginning. Just remember that you won't always feel this way. Rest and tackle the mess whaen you feel like it. IT IS OKAY TO HAVE A MESS RIGHT NOW!!!
Angie,
Hang in there. You are a great mom. There are days that I really don't know how I am going to survive being a mother...in fact the other day was so bad I seriously thought about getting a full time job and putting my kids in daycare.
Eventually things will get better, but until they do just know that I love you. Sending hugs your way!!!
Wish I was there to help, although I don't know how much help I would be since I can barely manage taking care of my two little ones. You are amazing. Love you!
Everyone has days or moments like that...believe me I do. Thinking of you and hoping that things get better!
It can only get so messy, right? I mean, once every toy and clothing article and pot and pan is out it's done, right? Mostly I'm kidding - when I'm not feeling well physically & emotionally the house is the first thing that gets to me - but I'm hoping to join with the "eh, let it get messy, it won't stay that way forever" crowd :) Love you.
Sometimes an outlet really is SO helpful! We all understand!
You are amazing. I hope to get to four too, though it sounds a little crazy right now, and I'm only at two! But it isn't crazy - it is what we are put on earth for! Hang in there!
