I'm taking a break. I was pushing myself too hard to be all things to all people and really I just need to be one thing to one person right now. All I really need to be is good to myself so that I'm being good to my daughter. Lexi needs a safe, peaceful, stress free home for this last bit of time that it gets to be just the two of us - and that's exactly what I'm going to give her.
I'm not exactly sure when I lost perspective on things but I can tell you 100% for sure that I found it again this morning. I was letting the stress of work and life pile up on top of me and I was not being kind to myself, I wasn't cutting myself a break because I'm so very pregnant, I wasn't taking deep breaths, I wasn't sleeping and I was plain and simple over doing it. I'm taking a step back. I'm going to do more of this relax thing I have heard so much about. I'm going to recognize that "everything" does not have to be perfect or even done before I have this baby....life will go on, work will continue without me and you know what? It will be okay.
So if you need me I'll be in a much more Zen place, a place where I get a prenatal massage and soft serve ice cream.

That sounds like a good place, can I come?
Good for you! What kind of ice cream? :)
I'm so excited and proud of you! You and Lexi both deserve it!
Good for you!! Eat, sleep, take pictures, sleep, eat...whatever you need!!
Mmmmmm prenatal massages...lying face down comfortably! HOOK ME UP!
take it easy cass! i hope you get in lots of relaxing.
Im living there myself...welcome to the club...
Good for you...life is much easier when you put it in perspective...everyone needs to remind themselves to take a minute to do that every so often. When Lexi comes, it will be easier to do so...and to let other things be NOT perfect...it's hard at first (especially if you are Type A), but it gets easier...promise! Hope you get to relax and take care of yourself!
Good for you. I was tired for you reading all the stuff you were trying to squeeze in and I'm not even pregnant.
Soft serve ice cream sounds like a bit of heaven.
Good for you! I hope you enjoy your new zen place. I was the same way with my first and with the 2nd I was much more relaxed and "eh, we have diapers, onesies a carseat and a basinet, we're good".
