Third Trimester Slow Down

First of all, I’d like to say it is not a myth. I had started to feel pretty good, I was back to doing yoga regularly, I didn't have to take a nap daily to function & my heartburn was few and far between. Unfortunately, my glorious reprieve came to a screeching halt.

I feel like I live in one of those 5-hour Energy commercials “Do you get the 3:30 feeling?” HECK YEAH, I DO! About that time every day I REALLY start to drag. Yawning, watery eyes, fuzzy brain. My productivity goes down the toilet.

I have come home, trying NOT to nap and just need to sit down a minute and take my shoes off. Next thing I know, I’ve got a kink in my neck and the clock has mysteriously jumped forward. Other days I just give up the fight & climb in bed, knowing even if I did try and accomplish anything I would just do a crap job anyway.

The falling asleep after work has really put a cramp in my yoga again too. Hard to get motivation to go or I wake up and it’s already started. Or I just forget… (I might do a lot of forgetting)

Luckily, while my heartburn is back, it is not caused by the food I eat. It happens when my stomach is empty. Doesn’t help with controlling my “Dragon Lady” as P like to call me when I’m hungry (or grumpy, or tired or annoyed…) In her best interest it’s only brought up after the Dragon has been appeased, which she normally does by keeping my candy stash very well stocked.
