Amy--How old are you.(all of you seem to know eachother) That's a tough question I know but only old people have a hard time answering it.(That's how I new I was getting old.) In the intrest of full disclosure . I will be 35 in 5 weeks. I am considering another baby for that very reason.....I don't want to be too old when I have it. Jane is soooo right about vitamins. Water too. It will keep your energy high. The only real cure to all the fatigue is having the baby. (ha ha) after that a new kind of exhaustion sets in. Remember what my grandmom said to me after I had a tough day. "Trisha didn't you know the reason that God makes babies nap is so their mommies can nap." she wil be missed. ~Trish Wait….. young? Amy–How old are you.(all of you seem to know eachother)

It sounds like this pregnancy is wearing you out, have you had your vitamin levels checked? You've got a busy schedule & high expectations of yourself. I guess on the good side, it's a good thing you're having the baby now & not at an older age. Plus, Little Button will be closer to the baby. :) As for your mom, try not to feel too bad. I remember trying meds for bipolar disorder & they were HELL. 1 combination made me feel like I was constantly on an escalator & I could have easily been committed during that time. At the time I wouldn't have understood why someone wouldn't trust my judgment, but now I would applaud that person. 1 day, your mom will thank you. You're a wonderful mom, wife, daughter, friend. I hope you had a nice Christmas & that '08 is great for all of you. 5 toddlers??? It sounds like this pregnancy is wearing you out, have you had your vitamin levels checked?

Done and wrapped before thanksgiving--Then I went ahead and had a fourth baby.....I was lucky to be done before Christmas morning this year. Well what can I say about button in the store accept-sorry. If I makes you feel better--I have been there and will continue to be there for the next couple years, I guess. I think the worst part of your story for me was the people that give you those stares.... That is so hard to take. I had a woman actually tell me to keep my baby quiet. true story. Your doing such a good job. Put it this way.. even when you (we) aren't doing a good job. It's still better than most. Be uppity about it-- Snobery works. I love reading your stories. Thanks, Trish I have never been THAT organized for Christmas (yours last year)
