It's November! We finally had our first freeze last night (which was also the first frost...it's been a slow autumn) and I realized that I might not have my winter maternity wardrobe as nailed down as I thought I did. I forgot what cold feels like. So I've been working on retrofitting my non-maternity winter base layers and long underwear all day. I thought the waistbands were too tight before pregnancy, but now I have real motivation to try some alterations.
On an unrelated note, is anybody else death-crashing between 3 and 5 every afternoon? It doesn't seem to matter how regular/frequent my meals are or how much protein or how few sugars I eat throughout the day. It's not nausea, although sometimes that does happen, and it doesn't feel like needing a nap. Normally I can't even sleep if I try anyway. I can't really describe how it feels, other than awful and desperate. Eating helps, but not very fast like it does when I have a straightforward sugar crash. When this crash happens, it feels so good to put my feet up and rest my head on a pillow that I orgasmically moan. I wonder if it's a blood flow thing from having my feet below my body all day.
