Is anyone else exhausted?

redjellybean128 · April 2013

I'm exhausted - both mentally and physically drained. Anyone else feel this way? Don't get me wrong, we had plenty of relaxing time on our honeymoon and it's nice to have everything done, but it feels like it has been non stop since we have been home. I'm still catching up with laundry, have a bunch of gifts to still put away, still have to write thank you notes, our house is a disaster full of cardboard boxes and everything else. Our leftover wedding crap is everywhere too!

H and I have had a hard time catching up at work too. We've both been working long days and it hasn't helped that every weekend since we've been home from our honeymoon until the end of July is booked solid with friends' weddings, friend's pre-wedding parties, family parties, family obligations, work obligations etc... I haven't even been able to squeeze in an hour long spin class. I hate to complain because honestly, i"m really excited about all of the stuff coming up in the next couple of months. I haven't even had the energy to write reviews for our vendors. Ha, our professional pics came back last week (I love them!) but fell asleep just going through them because there were so many and I was sitting still for longer than an hour for the first time since our plane ride home.

Is anyone else completely spent? or am i just being a big baby

Lol I'm tired too. it took me awhile, and my wedding was super small and my mini-moon was pretty stress free. But within 3 weeks of being married, I have thank yous done, the house all unpacked of new stuff and cleaned, plus I've changed my name on everything and already have it all back so I changed all the bank and account stuff too. So I've exhausted myself because I've been going on overdrive to get all this ish done!! (looking back, the stress it took to rush all that stuff wasn't worth it) So, I'd just not worry too much, everything will get done in time. Just enjoy the newly married life and all those other fun life events for your friends. Maybe take a day off (if you can) to just get some cleaning/gym stuff done so you feel better! Or take thank you cards to work and do them on your lunch. Sometimes knowing that stuff is getting accomplished makes you feel less tired mentally..

Yes! I feel the same way. I'm done. I'm exhausted and still playing catchup.

It didn't help that we came back from the honeymoon to a house full of all the wedding stuff that got dropped off while we were gone and our own suitcases full of dirty clothes... then I sat down on the couch and didn't get back up for a week because I caught pneumonia!

I'd really like to, I don't know, finish this wedding stuff and really be done done but it feels like that's not going to happen for a while since more of it just keeps coming up.

And everyday, everyday!! , I find something new I have to change my name with... it's terribly frustrating!

i'm taking my lunch break today to head down to social security to start with the name changing stuff. But glad to hear I'm not the only one that's super tired.

[QUOTE]Oh yes, I was SO exhausted the first week back that I considered going to the doc to see if something was wrong. lol It has been 2 weeks now and it's getting better. I've been taking multivitamins and trying to keep as normal of a schedule as I can without any naps. It DOES get better, I promise. Well, unless you're pregnant - then good luck with that cuz you'll be wiped out for a while yet.

You are right!!! SO tired! The sad part is that I am so tired yet I wake up every hour all night long. I am thinking sleep is gone for me for a few years now.

I still am and we've been married 3 weeks now! Mostly stress that my mom is putting on us. I kid you not, the week I was getting married she informed me my father, aunt and uncle had decided to sell my grandmother's house, because my aunt didn't want it anymore. This is the grandma that died in October. Then at my wedding she cornered all the local groomsmen and asked if they'd help move stuff out. Right after we got back from our honeymoon she informed us we had to move everything by the 28th. We told her the 5th would work for his friends. So she has to deal with it. Oh, and they haven't thought ANYTHING through and are not getting a truck...because of course a bedroom set will fit on a pick-up truck. And we have to store the furnature I inherited, but since everything been moved up H and I haven't really saved up the money. That's too bad cause my parents aren't helping us pay. Lovely, now I'm paying for a truck AND a storage unit. So not looking foward to Sunday.

I won't lie - you won't get a decent night's sleep until the lil bean is a few months old. H and I used to take shifts - he would sleep from 8pm until 1am and I would get up whenever the baby needed someone during that time. He was guaranteed 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Then from 1-6, I would sleep and he would get up. I wouldn't have been able to function any other way. I would also suggest that you wake your H every hour or so during the last month of your pregnancy. Dh said that was the worst for him - going from getting a full night's sleep to getting up every hour once dd was born. That was a really hard adjustment for him.

And I won't lie - I sent her to the nursery at the hospital the 2 nights we were there because I needed the sleep. No shame. I know I'm no good to anyone if I don't get enough rest.
