Lately, I've been feeling quite a bit like my dog. I sleep in after my husband leaves for work, get up to do some work, take a couple naps throughout the day, and then wake up when my husband gets home. During my last pregnancy, one of our friends told me to not worry about sleeping so much because there is a kidney forming inside me and that takes a lot of energy. I think about that statement a lot. It brings some comfort and, well, maybe, helps me have an excuse for being so lethargic. However, I would love to dig in and give my house a good cleaning, get caught up on the laundry, run errands, visit with friends, etc. Instead, I seem to sleep and do the minimum work that I can and keep my job. I'm so thankful that I have such an understanding and wonderful husband....he never comments on the lack of food in the fridge, overwhelming mound of laundry that used to be contained in the hamper, or dust that has seemed to overtake corners of our wood floors.
Soon, I'll be back to myself and the laundry will be done. However, our lives will never be the same. I wonder how, in the coming months my dog's life is going to change, as well as ours.....
