(OK, who am I kidding? I find it hard to want to clean when I’m NOT pregnant. But I’m sure we can agree that it’s particularly hard to get motivated to clean while pregnant.)
I have ALWAYS struggled to sleep. I don’t know what my deal is – sometimes it’s insomnia, sometimes it’s back pain, sometimes it’s anxiety… and, sometimes it’s just BEING PREGNANT. Getting a decent sleep while pregnant is it’s own kind of hell for me.
Talk about doing the impossible!
