What’s the military lingo?  T-x days and counting?  Then I’m D-14 days and counting – I’m due in two weeks.

And suddenly, I’m back to that early first trimester exhaustion that leaves me unwilling – even unable – to do much of anything.

Okay, that’s not exactly true.  It’s just that I can’t do all the things on my list for any given day.  Basically, I can exercise or clean the house or get lots of writing assignments done or cook.  I used to do all of the above and then some, but I’m just not able right now.

I know I should give myself a break, but that drumbeat reverberates:  it won’t be any easier once the baby arrives.

Which is in D-14 days and counting.

If I weren’t so sleepy, I might be freaked out about that.
