Taking it easy

[Pickles77]

Does anyone else find they are doing more and are busier than ever when according to everyone they meet you should be taking it easy? Or is this just because my life is slightly messy atm? Any tips on reducing stress? Bar
Gagging the XP?

I was just asking my husband whether it feels like I'm doing 10 times as much just because I'm pregnant or whether I actually am?
He agrees that I am doing a lot more day to day.
Pregnancy seems to have coincided with taking on a more active job, a lot more responsibility for my step son's school run, cars breaking down and having to take public transport (journeys three times as long and outrageously more stressful), the dog going mental and playing hard to get when its time to go home from walks (eluding me for up to an hour at a time!)

Destressing-wise, I have pretended to be away for the weekend (parked he cars down the road and lent the dog to a friend) so that no family members could 'just pop in'. I also demand manage at least half an hour on one evening a week to have a bath with no interruptions.

I also tried yoga, which was wonderful. A whole hour to almost fall asleep. Unfortunately my stupidly busy life meant I only managed to make the class once about 7 weeks ago!

I might aually attempt to finish the book I started eading before I was pregnant (25 weeks ago!) at some point too!

Wow your a busy bee too. So glad im not the only one! I think maybe it will be nice when I'm a) too big to do things or b) the LO arrives!!
