Background: I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I have a host of health conditions which complicate the pregnancy, including high blood pressure, for which I've been admitted to hospital twice so far. I came home from hospital yesterday on new medication, with strict instructions to rest and go back in if I feel at all off - they're not sure what way the new meds will affect me. Plus I'm recovering from a bad vomiting bug so I'm as weak as a kitten. And my back and pelvis aren't standing up well to pregnancy so I'm trying to go easy on them too, to preserve my ability to walk.
Current situation: I'm home from work (I need time to recover from the vomiting bug before going back to travelling 80 miles a day). The house is a tip and we've a 16 month old so a certain amount really HAS to be done - the floors need to be clean, the kitchen needs to NOT be an inch deep in crumbs and a foot deep in dirty dishes (I was only gone for 2 days!), and she needs clean clothes. So I've been working my butt off all day instead of resting.
It's 1:30 and DH is still in bed. Apparently he has a cold and can't get up.
Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture?
