9 weeks 3 days today and I'm feeling more exhausted than I can handle. I thought maybe I haven't been getting enough fresh air and exercise so went for a walk and barely made it back. I feel completely drained and in every way. I can only hope I am over the worst of it and I will have more energy by the end of the month. I have pretty much every symptom of pregnancy, only the fatigue is extreme- but all of them together makes it all seem exhausting and the anxiety is up there. By 13 weeks with Julia I was free of morning sickness, and didn't really have anything else to complain about, so I'm hoping this time around 12/13 weeks everything lets up. I can't even believe myself, I can have a 4 hour nap, wake up at 7 and be back in bed at 10:30 to sleep for the night.
I am very lucky to have my Dad in town to help with Julia and getting ready to move. I'm glad she is with him during the day so she can play and get outside with some good interaction. I feel like I am failing on that front no matter how hard I try.
I've discovered that no matter how bad the craving, oranges in the morning DO NOT help morning sickness, my once strong love for bbq sauce is absolutely out the window for the time being, sour candy is a lifesaver, and jolly ranchers for extra-nauseous times work pretty good. Pizza is BAD. Enough about food I'm getting nauseous.
I am looking forward to May 5th appointment, will be very close to the 12 week mark by then!

Keep your chin up, this will all be a distant memory. I too was completely fatigued with Haylia. I described it as it felt like I was wearing a lead blanket 24/7. You keep yourself rested, dont feel guilty about giving your body what it needs. And dont be afraid to ask for help. I am here if you need to drop Ju off during the day, whats one more??
