So I wouldn't say that I have it all that rough - I work for a company that has graciously allowed me to work 4 days a week instead of five (this is after they allowed me to work 3 days a week for six months after he was born). On top of that, they are extremely great about letting me flex my schedule for any reason. I sit behind a desk and do paperwork most of the day. Still - I'm exhausted (beyond the pregnancy) at the end of the week.
Andy and I do our very best to not do any "chores" until after Jarrett goes to bed... we only have a couple hours with him each day that we work and we want to spend our time with him. This is why I love Fridays so much - I get to spend the entire day alone with my little man. While we usually just play at home, clean the house and run errands... we get to do it together. I love it because we try to do fun stuff on the weekends, so this is Jarrett and my lazy day. We get to hang out together (right now, I'm being a "bad" mom and letting him watch his favorite show - Jake and the Neverland Pirates... plus it means I can enjoy my one cup of coffee that I can have while pregnant, without worrying that someone will spill it) - there is not time frame (usually) and we have so much fun together. BTW - he loves Jake so much, he was him (kind of) for Halloween)...
Today's tasks? We are being super lazy this morning since Jarrett actually decided to sleep in (trust me, this NEVER happens). At some point we need to take him to get his hair cut, stop by the grocery store and make cookies or cupcakes... we haven't decided yet. What else? Nothing! Why not? Because we can!!
I know everyone really looks forward to weekend - but I really can not begin to explain how excited I am for mine. This pregnancy has really helped me realize how important these days are.
All this being said - I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the time you have to spend with your loved ones!!
