so. freaking. tired.

[Leilalu]

that about says it all.:
I just lay down on the couch for an hour and nearly slept while ds played starfall and dd slept because I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE. I couldn't.
I have all these ambitious plans and projects lined up and I am lucky if I can manage to make a cup of coffee or tea and do my weekly chores. I run myself ragged one day then I can't do anything the next. Granted we did go do fun stuff this morning, but I hate feeling like I can't get anything done.
Is this God's way of MAKING me rest? I don't wanna rest. I want to knit and sew and play!

Add me to the club. What is not helping is the 5 million times a night I wake up - to pee, sweating, because I accidentally rolled onto my tummy.

It sucks :

I want to be able to walk 5 miles in one go again - I need a serious lie-down after two now.

Three more weeks 'til the 2nd trimester, then I'll be out of this phase.

(too tired to write anything else)

[justmama]

me too guys!

[flapjack]

And me. I didn't get a nap yesterday because I had friends round for coffee in the afternoon and now I feel like death. Tomorrow, I have bumps babes and tots in the morning (aka 2 hours of hard manual labour- I run it) followed by lunch out, get the kids from school and then college. PLUS, if I have time, a committee meeting after that
I can't do it, but I don't want to cancel lunch Hopefully, dh will be home in time to do the school run and I can have a nap then.

[ksera05]

I am exhausted too. My survival method is to lie down every morning during DD's first nap. I don't even get dressed or put in my contacts until after that nap now.

this too shall pass...

[flapjack]

Yeah, in 18 years time...

Glad I'm not the only tired one Although I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Ds decided to wake up at 7 this morning, walking out of the bedroom mumbling something about wanting a cookie. It's an hour and a half later now, and I can finally pull myself off the couch and have some coffee. All I did was reheat homeade oatmeal I made in a batch yesterday for them.
I have plans to do yoga today, later this afternoon. The thought of running right now makes me want to puke.literally.

[thefreckledmama]

Count me in too.

I've completely forgotten what it's like to be able to get more than one thing done in a row. I just finished getting dinner in the crock pot, and now it's time to throw something together for lunch, and I'm questioning if I can actually make it to the kitchen without falling over. Yesterday afternoon the girls' snack was peanut butter on a spoon-and my oldest had to bring me the peanut butter and spoons.

What really stinks is when I do actually have some energy and get up and going, I end up getting sick.

Ahhhh, gotta love the first trimester.

That's about where I am, too.

Yes. Totally exhausted over here. I am capable of falling asleep on the sofa while my DD yammers nonstop in my ear and DH makes the most amazing racket in the kitchen right next to me. I could not do that in a million years when not pregnant. DH says I should join the professional napping circuit.

[widdlelou]

Yep totally and utterly exausted too. And I feel horrible b/c DD is watching so much tv now, but then when I am up I try and really make it a lot of one on one activity. I figure its not going to totally corrupt her for a few weeks here. UG.

Oh I hear you!!!! I remember a time when I was so sure that DD wouldn't watch TV blah blah blah. Well, THAT'S out the window!

I also get so tired of feeling guilty for being tired.

same here.
in my case, i have no reason to feel bad. i mean, no one is watching me or keeping score of how much i'm actually getting accomplished around the house (at least i HOPE not! )

there is so much that i want to be doing (like finish my poor half weeded garden, sew, knit, finally finish unpacking all the boxes from the move), but today i got a total of four things done: make oatmeal, eat oatmeal, change the sheets, vacuum.

You've got me beat.

I'm actually doing pretty well this afternoon. I unloaded/loaded the dishwasher, AND finished making dinner without having to take a nap in between. :

[mommy2abigail]

Ahhh, soooooo tired. Soooo tired. I can't seem to drag myself out of bed everyday. It doesn't help that I pee like 4 times a night.: And it doesn't help that when dd wakes up and wants to nurse, it feels like she is stabbing my nipples with a hot poker, forcing me out of that blissful sleepy phase. : I'm usually good in the morning hours, getting up, making breakfast and taking dd somewhere. After nap though, forget it. I'm worthless. Poor kid, she asks me everyday "Mommy not feel well?" or "Mommy's tummy hurts?" or "Mommy has a hegache?"(her word for headache ) She reads me lots of books on the couch, and brings her puzzles to the coffe table.

[lincap]

Tired. tired. tired.

I lay on the floor whereever DS is playing. I can't take him outside because I can't just lay down and watch him.

I am exhausted. I wake up, try to eat breakfast, lay down. Try to eat a snack, lay down. etc etc. While making lunch or dinner I have to lay down on the kitchen floor. I am so pathetic.

Really looking forward to 2nd trimester. This tiredness is insane.

I feel so bad for DS because I am just laying on the floor, I can't really play with him.


I think I am going to get and try some Floradix... can't hurt.

Eating my snack and vitamins with my head on the table...

[Mama2-4]

I hear you, I have been feeling exhausted too, although the last 2-3 days it has been better. We are leaving on vacation on Friday and tomorrow I have tons of work to do to prepare....I am so looking forward to hitting the beach and totally relaxing! I hope that everyone starts to feel more energetic. I hit 11 weeks on Saturday and feel like I am on the way back (I hope)!

[flapjack]

Did it I wimped out of college and the committee meeting, but I managed to function from 7am to 4pm without a nap. How pathetically proud am I?

[mosesface]

okay. this is really sad.

i actually fell asleep halfway through my egg salad sandwich today. i don't think i would have woken up had my dogs not tried to fish the sandwich out of my lap.
