"How are you feeling?"

with you on this mama. i have been sick a lot this winter - a flu and 4 colds, the last one really kicked my butt. i am feeling better illness-wise, but don't sleep well, my hips hurt from sleeping on my side, i have gained close to 30lbs so i feel like a cow, my head aches constantly, and i am hungry all the time (which doesn't help the weight gain.) i am eating really too much, and not exercising enough. plus we've had major lay offs at work, my boss and good friend passed away last week and i feel generally demoralized and bleak.

when people ask me i keep saying, well things are getting a little better, i guess. at least i'm not throwing up 4 times a day and my hair is getting thicker.

I'm with you.
Large and Frumpy.... tired and Grumpy! (that's my answer!)

My 3 yr old has some freak a** stomach bug this week, had it since Thursday- fine all day and pukes during the night. Friday I slept on the floor of her room (didn't want to get too close - was too afraid of 'catching it.' So I kicked dh out of bed at 9 am and slept for 2 solid hours. Makes up for the already bad sleep I was already getting.

Back up a step, I'm back to mildly nauseous all day, which I wasn't at this point with my 3 other (all girls.) Does that mean I'm having a boy or just getting too darn old for this stuff??!

I've gotten to the point now where I'll settle on a couple hours of rest even if I don't sleep... at least it is in silence! LOL! Even if I wander the house allnight long! *sigh* (maybe in 3 more years I'll get back to sleep! LOL!)

youch. a shout out for all the yucky mamas.

I am starting to dread this question, too. Not because I don't feel well, though. I feel great. Just fine. Boring. Normal. Fine. I don't know what else to say. Lately I've been adding, "baby is moving a lot, so that's fun." Otherwise, I feel kind of stumped when people ask. Mostly I think because I'm really thinking about so many other things besides the pregnancy, which at this point is really on autopilot.

Yep, me too. I DO feel much much better than I did for the first trimester. I still feel awful most of the time. And it recently occurred to me that I kind of hope this one is a girl JUST SO that can be WHY I feel so much worse than I did with my other two (boys). If not, I'm just old and out of shape!

And why am I always trying to do 6 times more things than I realistically can? (Whine.)

awful. I just answer that I FEEL PREGNANT. Can't sleep, tired, cranky, and I too wish I would get the energy that comes with the second trimester. Maybe I should take those Vitamin B dots my midwife suggested......

I feel a little bad saying this but I feel really good for the most part. I feel a bit daft some times and clumsier but otherwise I barely feel pregnant most of the time. For the most part I do feel good.

I have to admit though sometimes earlier on I did feel too good, it made me wonder if something was wrong since I did not feel pregnant. Now I am feeling more movement I can say yup the little zombie is still in there.

I also need to watch I don't over do things since I feel so good sometimes, because if I over do it then things aren't so good.
