Pregnant me vs. Non-pregnant me

For the last 27 and a half weeks there's been a battle waging. The battle between Pregnant me, and Non-pregnant me. I've got to say, up until very recently, Non-pregnant me has definitely been winning. This battle started as self-preservation. It was easier to believe I was Non-pregnant me in order to not get my hopes up too high. I've been waiting for the day when Pregnant me would take over and I think that day is coming soon.

This weekend proved that denial might not be an option for much longer. Here's how the weekend played out:

Non-pregnant me - "I'm going to get so much done this weekend! So many appointments and things to do plus some shopping and of course, house cleaning, laundry and cooking!"

Pregnant me - "Guess again sucker!"

Non-pregnant me got off to a great start at 5am on Saturday morning. Up and getting things accomplished and had my blood tests and glucose test done by 9am. Followed that with breakfast, shopping, more appointments, shopping, pictures, more running around and finally got home at 10pm.

Pregnant me was quiet all day letting Non-pregnant me lead the show. However, Pregnant me was apparently just biding her time. Sunday brought this:

Non-pregnant me - "One more day off still to get all the house cleaning, laundry and cooking done. I can probably also get some sewing done!"

Pregnant me - "Kiss my ass Non-Pregnant me. You had your day yesterday. Today is my day and we're going to sleep, watch some DVDs and sleep some more. I might allow some sewing if I get some rest first. Try any funny stuff and I'll make you so sick you'll be begging for your pillow."

Evidently Pregnant me is quite the bitch and definitely won that round. I finally had to bow to the pregnancy and admit that maybe, just maybe, I can't put in a 17 hour day and expect to feel 100% the next day. Time to huddle up with Non-pregnant me and devise a strategy. Maybe if we sneak in a little house cleaning and laundry each night during the week we can get a little bit more of the other stuff accomplished on the weekends!
