Everything I read online, in magazines, and in books talks about how much better you'll feel in the second trimester. They refer to a "burst of energy" that will have you dancing in the street. They're liars I tell you, BIG FAT liars. I get more tired by the day, wait...by the hour. They say that if I exercise my energy will go up. So the other night I strapped on the lycra and went to the gym with Steve. I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes and did some light weights. Again, LIARS! I went home and passed out on the couch.
Poor Steve...he has to be lonely after 8pm when I inevitably fall asleep on the couch no matter how hard I try to stay awake. This occurs on a daily basis...thank you honey for putting up with my fatigue.
We went to a party with my work friends a few weekends ago. We were outside, having a great time, eating crabs...and I was watching everyone else enjoy their beer. Eight O'Clock came and the party was just getting started but don't you know preggo was out of energy...completely. Steve and I said our goodbyes and by 8:30pm I was home, asleep on the couch.
The days that I work really stink...I can't take an afternoon nap. I really look forward to my afternoon nap on the days I'm off. At work I just eat M&M's, Twix, and Snickers to get me through the day.
So, in summary, they collective "they" that givse us all their advice about pregnancy are BIG, FAT, Liars!
P.S. A shout out to my CICU girls...especially Jacki and Laurie! Thanks for putting up with me.
