So much for balance.
With the end of the year looming, I’ve been cramming my days with meetings, dinners, events, and the like. Part of it has to do with being invited to really cool things and WANTING to attend.
And part of it is fitting in as much as possible before my third trimester (and utter exhaustion, I’m told) hits. Which is next month.
Thus, I’ve pulled an Amy Poehler and have said “Yes Please” to everything that comes my way. I compensate by blocking off one day a week to lie in bed, read books, and watch mindless drivel on television.
It’s not ideal, but it works.
My parents came into town this week to get a head start on baby shopping (so far, this is the only item I’ve purchased for our child). I also did an interview with one of my favorite podcasts, caught up with Carrie over Mexican food and football, and got my bum back in the gym. I’m wrapping up the week with a photo shoot with Hudson+Bleecker (one of my new consulting clients!) and a dinner double date with Julie and the husbands.
And sleep. Lots of sleep.
