Today was definitely a Monday. I struggled with feeling awake today. I didn't have too much of a stressful day, but the stressful parts were very stressful.
I get to work every day at 7:15 AM and I work until 6:00 PM (or later), Monday through Thursday. I usually work a 7 hour day on Fridays. So, that equals out to be 50+ hours a week. I do this because I carpool with Arthur every morning and it doesn't make sense for us to drive separately an hour apart in the morning. So, I get up and get ready and leave the house with Arthur at 6:45 every morning. I usually wake up around 4:45 - 5:00 AM every morning.
So, this means that I work more hours than anyone on my team. It's my own choice... but sometimes I just get so tired of being there before anyone else and leaving after everyone is gone. But - I know that the long hours will eventually get recognized. Maybe.
After work today, Arthur and I went to his niece's birthday party at Subway. Arthur's mom works at Subway, and she made my sandwich. She put extra meat and extra cheese on my sandwich. It was so delicious!!!!
Overall, today was an ok day. I'm looking forward to bedtime and a back scratch. :)
How far along: 4 weeks, 4 days
How much time left: 35 weeks, 3 days
Top two symptoms: Exhaustion and foggy brain
Favorite thing I ate today: Subway Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. Deliciousssssss.
Mood: My brain felt like it was in a fog today and I kept triple-checking my work. I hate feeling like I'm missing something.
Worried about: Thank goodness, I've been keeping a close eye on this infection and I think it's going away. I have been avoiding sugar and fruit and breads of most types for 2 days. I know that those foods can exacerbate a yeast infection... so I've had to cut way back. It sucks not being able to eat chocolate (caffeine), sugar (YI), bread (YI), soda (caffeine, YI) or any other of the delicious things I love to eat that I'm trying to cut out. I know that this is worth it though. I'm not complaining in any way - I'm just noting that this thing requires a lot of sacrifices that I wasn't betting on going into it. Don't get me wrong, I'd take a lifelong yeast infection just to have this chance to be a mom.
Excited for: Last night I was reading about Postpartum Depression and some of the remedies that are out there for it. This caused me to think of different things that I would want to do to avoid it. I kept thinking about holding my baby close and feeling connected with them. I got to do this with Brielle when she was only a week old. I went up to visit my sister and she let me lay with Brielle on my chest after she had eaten, and it definitely created a forever bond between us. I am confident that doing this with my own baby will help me feel more connected. I'm excited to hold them. *sigh*
