I'm Tired!

I find that I am just absolutely wiped out at the end of every day. I seriously just shut down.


I think there are a number of factors, homeschool being one of them. But the biggest one is this:

Yes, that's a positive pregnancy test. #8 will be joining our family in March. I don't get sick, I just get extremely tired!

Because I'm so 'old' I have had to go the Maternal Fetal Medicine area at the local hospital for consultation with specialists. GRRRRrrrr!!! Don't get me started on this one, it has become my latest hot button! But the ultrasound there showed nothing of concern and I refused all extra testing. Don't need to know 4 months sooner if the baby has Down's Syndrome. We'll deal with it, if it's necessary, when the baby is born.

Oh, yeah, the u/s told us that the baby is another BOY.

We're all really excited and anxious for this little guy to grow enough to come meet us.

  1. Congrats! So exciting when the whole family gets involved. My MIL was 43 when she had her last and was very glad that she wasn't required to take any tests. At the time they were relatively new.

  2. Oh how exciting!!!

    I know how you feel about the testing - I could really burn up a keyboard going on about it too.

    What ever happened to a woman being in charge? ARGH!
