During pregnancy, I require more alone time. This tends to throw most that know me for a loop because normally, I don't. When I'm tired, irritable, and not generally not feeling well....I prefer to be alone.
I also feel a need to spend as much time alone with my husband and daughter as possible. My husband and I get very little alone time, like many marrieds. So...any time we can get before having another baby in the house is precious. Even more so this time, knowing what we're in store for.....
As for my daughter....I'm trying to get her adjusted to the idea and talk out her concerns and let her help with the process. During our time I inform her of things that are definitely going to change, asking how it's going to make her feel and explaining that I'll always love her as much as I do now and like to have her help.
But I also need more "me" time. It's time for me to clear my mind, rest and do mindless activities like watching television in order to not think about how much sleep I'm NOT going to get......or how much formula cost......

amen, sista! you ain't lying! get that time while you can.
I always hid from folks & reclused to me & just my hubby but I didn't want everyone seeing me preggers if it didn't work out. But, even now, I try to have me time & us time as much as possible, BEFORE one gets here.
nothing wrong with that!
Makes sense to me.
Girl, I'm with you with the me time when you aren't feeling well.
I ain't been feeling snazzy in a while so I've been pretty reclusive.
