Coming Up For Air
posted by Jen | 9:46 PM
So I hear from several people that I should be updating more. Especially after our big news last week. What can I say? Work has been I-N-S-A-N-E this month. I've been simming 3-4 days per week and trying to fit the close-to-launch data publications, meetings, and other duties as assigned into the remaining days. Not to mention that I am suddenly looking at a bunch more visits to the doctor(s) than I'm normally used to.
At home things are busy as well, especially considering the fact that once or twice a week my body decides it needs 12 hours of sleep instead of the normal 8. I had hoped I wouldn't be quite as fatigued this time - dream on, Jen.
I'm having all the normal first trimester stuff. I don't really think the first trimester is worse than the third, but you get a lot more sympathy in the third because everything bothering you is visible. Swollen ankles - visible. Big belly - visible. Painful gas and bloating - not visible. (Thankfully.)
My parents are coming down here Friday, and I'm very excited. Carina is so fun to show off right now. The verbal explosion is amazing to watch on a daily basis. She understands so much about the world around her. It's also nice to be able to start to talk about things that are bothering her rather than just doing the whine-cry thing. Don't get me wrong; she still does that. But, at least I can see the beginnings of reason.

Wow, can Carina come over and show Eva how to reason with me? I mean when she tells me no at least she's polite... but in the checkout line at the store the "no thank you" is irritating... :)
Sorry you are feeling so blah, I never did like being pregnant... so full sympathy from me!
Peppermint tea for the morning sickness, B12 vitamin complexes and Omega 3's for the fatique. Not going to make it completely disappear but it helped a little I think. There were some mornings I'd had 10hrs of sleep when my alarm went off and I literally still felt like I hadn't slept at all.
The worst of it is probably of my own creation. I have trouble getting to sleep early enough before my sims to get a full night when my alarm goes off at 5:30 AM. So by the evening, I'm beat.
