so damn tired

The dreaded first trimester nausea has remained at bay so far.

Instead, my primary symptom is exhaustion. I am sleepy, sleepy, sleepy. I want to fall asleep at the table. I want to fall asleep at work. I can hardly motivate myself to complete anything I start. I just want to take warm baths and then sleep.

I guess growing a new human being takes some energy. I am trying to think of it that way when I feel like a total lazy ass. And again, this is certainly easier to deal with than it would be if my children were really little. Now when I need a nap, I can just tell the kids to leave me alone for an hour while I take a nap with no worries that one of them will eat the catfood or accidentally set the curtains on fire while I sleep.

And as always, Jon is being extremely accomodating, although he's probably tired of me being so...tired.
