A Whole New Me

I feel like a new woman. I am finally over the nausea and have decided to just work through the fatigue that plagues me right after lunch.

So far, this pregnancy has been different from my pregnancy with Andrew. First, I was green everyday. Beginning around lunch and finally feeling a touch better around 8pm. It was awful!! But, between Andrew's long afternoon naps and great weather, I managed. And, he is finally learning how to play by himself! About a week after I was taken off the progesterone, I started to feel my normal color.

I remember being tired with Andrew, but this pregnancy has taken tiredness to a whole new level. For 12 weeks, I couldn't keep my eyes open after 1pm. I fell asleep a few times when reading Andrew books before his nap! I HAD to take a nap in the afternoons. Which meant that my house, cooking, yards....all became neglected.

I am still tired at 1pm, but have figured out that if I can just push through till 1:30 or so, I can make it. I am tired of being tired! I need a clean house, a decent meal, a yard without weeds!! I am taking back my life this week......although don't call after 8pm.....I will be asleep!

I totally understand. I was sick with Luke all day every day until about four months. Eli was lucky he was born!
