Pregnancy is making me grumpy

I'm 34 weeks. Knackered. Heat has been horrible. Absolutely floored by covid a few weeks ago, had a fortnight off work and still battling exhaustion and a lingering cough. Baby is measuring big, got mild polyhydramnios so worrying what that could mean. Horrendous heartburn waking me at night. Got a 5 yo and 2 yo already and work full time - finishing up next week at 35 weeks.

Ugh. So happy and grateful to be in this position after a decade of fertility treatment, I realise how bloody lucky we are. However I am so so so tired and feel rubbish. I'm being grumpy with the kids (trying so hard not to be) for things like dragging all the throws and cushions off the sofa, leaving toys everywhere etc. Not naughty stuff at all, just normal kid stuff. But I am so knackered and all I can see is the work they are creating for me 24-7. I really need to just lower standards but the mess stresses me out 🙈🤣

Please tell me I'm not awful or at least offer me some advice on how to chill out

It would be astonishing if you weren't grumpy.Flowers

Ah thanks, I just feel awful when my instant reaction is exasperation at them doing totally normal kid stuff 🙈
