I'm SO tired! I didn't realize how tired I was until I woke up one Saturday morning and took a nap. I've never been big on sleep, so my friends & family have got to know how much that wigged me out. I take a nap almost every day when I get home from work and I've had to fight sleeping at my desk. I tell ya, I'm so ready for this to end. I can't get anything done around the house and it's driving me nutty.
Whoever came up with the term "Morning sickness" must have never been pregnant. Gee, wouldn't be great if it were only in the morning? But, no - not for me...not this time around. When I was pregnant with Andrew, it only lasted until about 11am, then I was done for the day. This time, it can rear it's ugly head at any time. It hits me right when I wake up, again around the time I arrive at work (the boss loves that!), yet again around 8:30 and so on and so on about every two hours until noon. Sometimes that's it for the day, however at times I'm sick for the rest of the day too. Thank goodness that has not happened too often. I try talking to the baby, asking him/her to take it easy on Mommy. This doesn't work (I see the family resemblance...stubbornness!). Well, the baby can get away with not listening to me in the womb, however try it once he/she's breathing on their own and we're gonna have problems.
Still, I have to count my blessings. I'm so grateful that my morning sickness has only been a feeling - never an action. I haven't gained any weight and noticed Sunday morning that I lost a pound. Don't worry, I'm eating! I feel like I never stop eating. My nausea keeps me popping snacks, but they are all healthy (Mom, that one's for you).
I'm so looking forward to my second trimester as it promises more energy and less morning sickness. Only two more weeks.

Remember - Preggo Drops/Pops from Motherhood or any babystore probably. Also, I kept some nutra-grain bars by my bed and had one ASAP upon waking. It really helped when food was in my stomach.
As far as the tiredness goes...take as many naps as you can! Once the baby comes, sleep is gone forever!!!!! Or so it seems.
Oh, don't worry - I mastered keeping food with me while I was pregnant with Andrew. I don't get sick right when I wake up, but I do have to get breakfast right after. This morning, I was actually able to get my make-up on before going downstairs and I was fine. Dad prayed for me last night so that explains it. I usually snack on fruit, vegetables or a low-fat cheese stick. I'm being very careful with my diet. I tried getting the Preggie Pops, but they were only available on-line. I think I'll order from Walgreen's - they have the best price.
I nap whenever I'm tired. Today I fell asleep on the couch waiting Golden Girls - hilarious! Sometimes it messes me up with bedtime, but you're right - you gotta sleep when you have the chance. Don't worry, Kim - you'll be able to sleep again...when Kate's 3 or 4 :)
P.S. Think it's time to change the welcome picture on your homepage??? Even those of us on the East Coast are out of snow now...come on it's summer!!!
Not here it isn't - it was in the 50's only a few days ago. It was really cold here...Neil and I were tempted to turn on the heat.
I'll change the picture...it isn't even close to snowing here :o)
