I am by no means complaining. I thank GOD every day I do not throw up in the mornings or feel like crap. But am I ever going to have energy? I mean really. I never knew I could be so tired. I get up at 5:45....get ready, go to work, get home around 5:00....normally I take a nap then I eat supper then I lay on the couch then I go to bed around 9:00. Thats all I do. ever. I don't feel like cooking, cleaning, walking, talking, sitting at the computer, doing lesson plans, picking up something as small as a spoon, going anywhere, picking up a fork, ANYTHING. I don't feel like doing ANYTHING but laying down. I've read this ends after the first trimester....but I've HEARD it never ends.
We went to the doctor for the first time last Thursday. What a nervous then amazing feeling. The anticipation of that first ultrasound is so nerve racking....then when she finally got it up on the screen and we saw that little butterbean shape...I was overwhelmed. THEN she started the heartbeat. Talk about bringing tears to your eyes. That has got to be the most amazing feeling in the world...for now. I know it's just going to keep getting better and better. My next appointment is October 15. But I am so ready for my next appointment with an ultrasound so I can see my baby again. Justin was able to go with me last week, which was such a blessing. It was exciting just to see how excited he got when he saw the ultrasound.
Okay that's all the energy my fingers have for tonight.

Aww, bless your heart! It seems like that overwhelming exhaustion does pass when you get into the second trimester. It's hard for me to remember because I was more focused on the endless puking. I remember waking up so tired, napping out in the car during lunch, napping when I got home, and then going to bed early. You'll get your energy back soon. Besides, there is nothing you should be doing right now other than taking it easy and resting. Let Justin clean and take care of the house. Now when that baby arrives, that's a whole different type of exhaustion!!
ReplyDeleteThe ultrasound visits are the best. I think it's too sweet that Justin's so excited! He'll make a good daddy :)
I know it is so weird how tired you feel but it takes a lot of work for your body to make a precious little person. And like Angie said that's all you should be doing now anyways is resting EVERY chance you get! Even if you don't want to post them, make sure you take a belly picture every week because you will be amazed how big it can get! And it is fun looking back at them! Feel free to complain on your blog. That's what they are for! We know being pregnant is not always so GLORIOUS and we would never for a second think that you are not grateful! But hang in there it will get better soon!
ReplyDeleteCourtney let me reassure you that you have the easy part by just being tired all the time. Like Angie said I can't hardly remember what it felt like to be tired because I was contantly sick.....I can just remember how I could smell EVERYTHING under the sun and EVERYTHING smelled horrible to me. My pregancy was not GREAT by any means but once you hold you're baby for the first time you will forget everything. Just make sure you to get plenty of rest and you will be fine. Hope you get some energy soon!
