Today has been a very, very lazy day. I haven't accomplished anything but playing games and watching TV. It's been nice to have a day to do nothing. :)
I woke up this morning for the first time at 4:30 after going to bed around 1:00 AM. That was for my first pee of the day. I was able to go back to sleep in my own bed until about 7 for my second pee. Then I couldn't sleep in my bed any longer and had to eat something. I made some toast and some yogurt. I ate them and took my vitamins. I was still so exhausted, so I went downstairs and went back to sleep on the couch. I slept until about 9:30. Then I woke up and peed and went back to sleep until almost 1. I finally felt like I'd had enough sleep.
That's a rough part of this time in the pregnancy. I can't just sleep through the night and get a solid 8 or 10 hours. It comes in bouts with interruptions of needing to empty my bladder. :\
Arthur and I had some lunch together and we watched Survivor and a few other shows. I decided I needed to take a bath, because my body was hurting everywhere. So I did that, and then sent a few Facebook messages to extended family letting them know I was pregnant.
I know that because our immediate families know, the news was going to spread like wildfire. So, trying to catch those that should know directly from me, I sent them messages letting them know.
It felt good getting a few replies already, and I think they appreciated being told personally.
Tonight, I'm not feeling so hot, so Arthur and I are going to skip Ka'Lea's baptism. I feel bad, but I also know that pushing myself to get up and out won't make me very happy. I appreciate that Arthur is ok with staying in tonight. :)
We're having leftovers from Thanksgiving tonight, which I'm way excited about. Then we're going to go get a mint chocolate chip shake, my craving of the day. I actually started craving it last night, but it's not gone away and so I need to eat it soon.
How far along: 7 weeks, 2 days
How much time left: 32 weeks, 5 days
Top two symptoms: Headache and body aches. Today I also felt very out of it. Blahhhh.
Favorite thing I ate today: White toast on Grandma Sycamore's bread with strawberry jam. So good.
Mood: Because I felt gross, I've been pretty disconnected and frustrated today. I hope I feel better tomorrow because I have to do my chores and stuff. Gross. Gross. Gross.
Worried about: I still worry about keeping my pregnancy healthy so I don't miscarry. I know that every day I progress, that I'm getting closer to when I'm in the "safer zone". The second trimester means that my chances of miscarrying are lowered significantly. I'm looking forward to that time, for sure.
Excited for: Something totally random! I told my cousin Andrea, who is married to my cousin Justan that I'm pregnant. She offered to knit me a newborn hat! I was so happy to hear she wanted to do that! I will have to think of a cute idea to have her knit. I think I'll wait to find out the gender first. :)
