Burning the Candle at Both Ends
Posted by Emily on November 30, 2009
So I’m an insomniac. Being pregnant has exhausted me out of my mind. I can usually cope by sleeping in and taking a nap every few days. I normally can’t do either of those things (I stopped taking naps before my older brother did as a wee child) even though I’m quite tired, but pregnant lady can often get away with it. I’m discovering that traveling puts the kibosh on that though. Just like would normally happen, sleeping anywhere but home means getting WAY less sleep. I can’t fall asleep, I can’t stay asleep, I can’t sleep in.
I hate sleeping at other people’s houses.
My head is throbbing from a few days of severe fatigue now and my stomach is still kind of upside down. (I had terrible nausea last night, threw up twice and spent the rest of the evening in that in between stage, “am I going to throw up? … yes… no…”)
Yep, bring on the day.

Ugh… this preggers thing does not sound like fun. My sympathies go out to you!

Honestly, it’s not fun… physically. At least it hasn’t been for me. Sadly, I don’t even document all my bodily woes on here because I think it would just be too much. However, I seem to be in the minority when it comes to the extremes. Most really do seem to enjoy the second trimester, for instance.
Another however, there really is a deep satisfaction in knowing that you are carrying a child and it does make it all worth it. Even when everything hurts, you’re filled with so much purpose that you don’t generally feel picked on:)
