I’ve been sleeping a lot lately. The other day I laid down at 4PM to take a nap, at 4:30 I moved to the bed and said I would be another half hour, at some point my son joined me and then I woke up and it was dark. I felt refreshed and figured it was late, middle of the night late, 3AM or so. I started wondering if our garage door was closed and if our pool toys and towels had been brought inside - and of course the wondering caused me to not be able to go back to sleep!

After walking downstairs I found the garage door to be closed - and the pool things to still be outside. Once I cleaned up, I grabbed a glass of water and found that it was not even 11PM. I’d slept for seven hours though and was awake. I managed to stay up until 3AM, then fell asleep for a few more hours.

I’ve forgotten how tired being pregnant makes you. With Alice I was exhausted for the first couple of months, but then it went away. With luck, by the end of the first trimester (in a couple of weeks) I’ll have a lot more energy. I’m fine for a few hours - depending. It can be the morning to early afternoon or all afternoon, but not both. Last night I went to bed at 7PM!

I’d like to be able to stay up later. My husband has been home early every day this week and we’ve been out and about every afternoon, part of my tiredness I’m sure. But now he has a three day weekend, and then next he has a four day. He hates to stay at home - especially since he quit smoking and drinking coffee, plus he is finished with school (at least for the time being).
