Why exhaustion?

My little girls. My whole world.

I'm at the point in this pregnancy where I am feeling exhausted again by Faith's naptime and Maddie's "rest" time. I've always had that feeling of complete and utter exhaustion in the beginning of each pregnancy, but I remember it resurfacing during Faith's pregnancy right around this time as well. It's resurfaced now too. Must be due to keeping up with my two other little ladies while having my baby girl 'bake' at the same time. 

Once I put my head down on the couch for what I think will be a quick '5 minute rest,' I am passed out. I'm always up within 10 minutes since I assume my internal clock tells me it's time to get Maddie from her room at 2pm (either that or she's standing over me telling me to look into her "beady eyes" hahaha), and I suppose I do feel more rested, but not necessarily energized. I hate that. I feel so guilty when I don't necessarily feel up to doing workbooks with Maddie and playing her infamous "numbers and letters game" or a board game with her as we do every afternoon while we wait for the Beebster to awake. I want to WANT to do these things with her and feel energized, not do them out of guilt and feel less than enthused. 

It seems as though it's just that 1pm-2pm window of time though when I'm feeling so sluggish, so it's really had no effects on my Faith-y. And, really it's had no effects whatsoever, except for on my own conscience. I want to make sure I give my Crannie and my Beebe 100%. I can only imagine how magnified my worries will be once our newest little woman comes into the world.

I just love my little girls. All three of them. And, I know that that is what counts at the end of the day.
