I have officially reached the halfway point, yay! And honestly, I have had it up to here (my hand is above my head) with this pregnancy. I was really hoping that I could write about how much I love my unborn child and how I cherish each little kick that I feel; that is just not the mood that is coming across today.
Today I am tired of being tired. All day, every day, complete exhaustion. I feel like a zombie each day that I manage to drag myself out of bed. I thought this was supposed to get better by now.
Sleeping has sucked for the past few weeks too. Between having to get up to pee every hour (not exaggerating) and J snoring because of his cold, I am getting about 5 hours of interrupted sleep each night. I can take a Unisom and crash out for the whole night, but then in the morning I am so groggy that I don’t even remember my drive to work. That is very scary.
And finally, the headaches. Why oh why won’t they stop? I am having severe headaches almost every day and we have discovered that my triggers are: lack of sleep (surprise!), and stress. With neither of those changing anytime soon, I doubt the headaches will be disappearing anytime soon.
Having complained about my problems, I know that no one is probably still reading this, but it feels good to vent it out. I wish I could just be enjoying the wonderful miracle of life that is occurring inside of me. I wish this pregnancy was going as easily as my first one. Many a night, laying awake in bed, I wonder why I thought this was a good idea. I am sure that it will all be worth it in the end, but right now, pregnancy sucks.
My sources tell me the worst part of peeing every hour is the times when only a couple of drops come out, turning the whole waking up and rushing to the bathroom feel like a real waste of time. Luckily for me, Liz never decided peeing the bed was a better option… either that or the cat got blamed unfairly.
Sorry you haven't gotten to the "better" phase of pregnancy yet.
That’s a sharp way of thikning about it.
