This baby is sucking the energy from me! I think I need to find foods that will give me more energy and eat those. Or eat more during the day or something.

Today I woke up, took my vitamin – I don’t have full blow morning sickness but feel woozy/wobbly/weird – when I first wake up, unless I take it. I am usually awake for 45 minutes to an hour and then I feel okay enough to eat. After breakfast I did laundry and tried to entertain the kids. :) We hit the Y as a family but the pool was closed – which I guess was okay because Chris had to get to work! I did get in a 20 minute walk on the treadmill so at least something. The kids and I headed to the library where I realized I was starving! We just went grocery shopping so I didn’t want to go through a drive through and once we got home I had a banana and a pb&j sandwich.

After eating I just couldn’t stay awake. Luckily for me the kids were tired too so we all took a nap – a long nap. We didn’t wake up until 9PM and eating that late is always hard. Well, actually it’s the eating after waking up after a long nap that is hard! The kids wanted cereal and I have yet to figure out what to make for Chris to have when he gets home. He requested dinner be something to eat tonight and also have enough leftovers to take for lunch tomorrow. I might just have to leave him a note to eat the leftovers we have and then I’ll make him something tomorrow to take with him.

I’m amazed at how I can go for days and have lots of energy and then other days I’m just wiped out. I also wonder if this has something to do with the prenatal vitamin I take. I admit I don’t take it every day. It seems that when I do take it I end up feeling sick that day. Like sick that the other vitamin doesn’t take away. It’s very odd.

    Being pregnant always wiped me out. I am almost non existent for the first 8 weeks. Sometimes I would have to put the older one in his crib to play because I would actually just fall asleep on the couch.

    I remember being this tired with my first, and then taking naps with her when I was expecting my son…but geez, this is just exhausting! I fall asleep on the couch sometimes, with them watching tv. I’m lucky (and knocking on wood) that they behave.
