My Body Week 10

Today beings week 10 and it seems the baby has grown a lot ... yeah my clothes don't fit any more. Here is what babycenter.com has to say about week 10.

As for me ... uhphm I am doing fine.

Back to being super tired again. Taking afternoon naps and sleeping loads during the evening. This little tiny baby is sapping all the energy out of me.

My nauseous is better. I'm actually not that bad any more. Little spells here and there but manageable. I do get light headed and dizzy still though, later on in the evening.

Probably the worse thing right now is the depression or laziness I am going through. I am so used to being an active always doing stuff type of person so this behavior is so new and uncomfortable for me. I don't like feeling like this and not wanting to do anything. I have no motivation and desire to do anything but sit around and watch TV. Anyone who knows me, knows that is NOT what I like to do. Yeah maybe everyone once in a while, but not all day and everyday. I want to be out there and working and doing stuff but I just have no energy and drive. SUCKS!!! And the longer it takes to get out of this funk the harder it will be to get a job with a ever growing belly.

Peace Out,

My Body Week 8

Sorry so late.

I was suppose to send this yesterday but got really distracted. Yesterday we reached week 8 of our pregnancy and still going strong. As always here is a link to what the babycenter.com has to say about our progress week 8.

As for me: I am doing a little better. I haven't vomited again and I am not as nauseous (but it is still there). Still light headed and a woozy. I am starting to feel okay in the mornings and most of the symptoms start coming up in the mid afternoon and worse in the evening. I think as more food gets in my system the more I act up. I had a few puke scares but most of it has subsided quickly. Still praying that everything is going smoothly and that the baby is fine and healthy. Still have miscarriage scares here and there but not as bad as before. Each day that passes is a good day.

I am still so tired and sleepy but I think we are beginning to get a handle on that also. I have started to take walks in the afternoon when I start feeling the sleepy feeling coming along. That usually helps and I get a little boost of energy. Chris comes with me on the walks. Today we all went, Chris, myself, my dad and the puppies.

Oh and the last thing is I am starting to get a little moody here and there. It hasn't been too bad but I can really see how my mood is changing often. I just hope it doesn't effect Chris.

Peace Out

So Tired

I wish I wasn't so tired. I have been sleeping so much and just have no energy to do anything. This weekend Chris and I did the laundry and everything is clean but I just haven't had the energy and umph to put the clothes away so they are still piled up in the room. I hate feeling like this. Poor Chris has to do so much now. I just pray this doesn't last. I want to be able to get up and do stuff.
