Pregnancy Makes me Lazy - among other things

Ok...I haven't updated my blog in a long, long time. That is because, I believe - pregnancy makes you lazy. Don't get me wrong - I'm not being lazy about the big stuff - preparing work for my departure, getting the nursery ready, attending showers and eating enough Boonzaayer cakes to make a polar bear tap dance with a sugar buzz. I'm lazy about the smaller stuff...cleaning the fridge, updating my address book and posting blog messages.
My first trimester when I should have been doubled over sick and using every once of strength to elicit pity from the hubby...I felt great - I even lost weight because I just wasn't hungry. My second trimester when thing are getting more real and I am starting to show, my appetite is back and I have never felt better - not the best time to work on the pity angle. Now that I am huge as a house, ready to pop in the third trimester - I don't think that any attempt for pity will work - I have had it too good up until this point. Besides I think he secretly enjoys the grunts I make when I get out of a comfy chair.

Actually - my better half has been great about our pregnancy. It has been fun to watch him move from careful, subdued enthusiam (we tried for a long time with no success) to excitement and involvement (he volunteered to wear the 'empathy belly' at Lamaze class).

While I know that part of me is going to miss being pregnant, watching him interact with his child is going to more than make up for it.
