Dear Baby,

You’re growing like a little champion. Maybe that’s why I’m sooo exhausted lately. It’s like all I can do to stay awake anymore. If I’m not asleep, then I’m lounging in a comfortable almost-asleep position.

I know you’re rapidly developing, and are pulling nutrients and energy straight from my body so you can grow. But, I didn’t know it would zap me so much! If I think I’m so tired now, what in the world am I going to do when you actually get here? Eep.

I’m trying to eat regularly, with the goal of always having at least a little something on my stomach. I don’t like feeling famished and exhausted at the same time, so if I can at least be fed, that’s a good thing.

I’m really glad that I can take it easy, since you’re really giving me no choice. I’m glad that I work from the home, and my freelance work can be completed whenever. If I had to work 9-5 somewhere right now, I think I would explode. Or, fall asleep at the wheel :-\.

Ladies who have been there, done that, have told me that the tiredness does go away by the second trimester or so. That’s about six more weeks for me, around the first official day of summer. Can’t wait for that!

Love,

Mama
