So Freaking Tired
After a week of being sick, waking up ten times each night to pee or get a glass of water, waking up several mornings a week at 5 a.m. for no good reason, being wife and mom and trying to keep this damn house clean, I am freaking exhausted.
I cannot keep my eyelids open these days. I’m constantly thinking about when I’ll be able to get some much needed rest. I nap almost every day.
I’m just so tired. I want to blame it all on pregnancy, but I’m not sure that’s the only culprit.
I had my 16 week prenatal appointment today. Baby’s heartbeat is in the 150s, I’m measuring accurately for my gestation, and I’ve managed to keep my weight in the acceptable range. I’ll be having an ultrasound in two weeks.
Not much else to report. Seriously. I’m just too tired to think. Is this normal? I mean, I thought my energy was supposed to come back in the second trimester.
All you soon-to-be mamas out there, are you experiencing this, too?

Hang in there, sweetie. You’re doing an amazing job of holding it all together. A-mazing.

Totally normal! When I was pregnant with my daughter I was in law school. I would go to class in the mornings and could barely stay awake enough to take notes. Then I worked at a law firm in the afternoon, where I often dozed off at my desk. When I got home I would fall asleep on the couch in front of the tv after dinner (sometimes before) around 7 or 8. It was soooo out of the ordinary for me. I am a person that can’t nap during the day and usually has plenty of energy for school and work. So don’t worry it’s just that bundle of love you are growing that is stealing all of your energy!

Yeah, and I thought the nausea was supposed to go away long before the 40th week.
Hope you feel better and well rested soon.
