tell me I can make it...

I am super tired today and just feel like I am dragging a$$. I visited my family over the weekend which was great. But...Saturday night my 4 year old nephew slept with me and did not sleep well at all. His feet were at my head all night- knees and elbows in my back, stomach or whatever part of the body was close to him. I just feel exhausted and want to go home.

Only reason I am here is that I am trying to save my time for when baby comes...but oh man, not sure I do this.

I think I could actually cry right now if I think long and hard enough about being home, in bed, with my dogs and the rain! Oy vey!

Oh you can make it!!  The first trimester is so hard!  I used to take naps in my car at lunch.

Just a few weeks and you should start feeling a little less tired.  Hang in there!

Can you have some caffeine? Even just half of a soda or half of cup of coffee? My doc said it's ok, not sure if yours does too or if you are trying to avoid it, but I think today is worthy of an exception:)

You can do it!  Hang it there... just a few more weeks of this and then its smooth sailing.  Well, until baby gets so big that you can't breathe.  Or eat.  Or sleep.  Or sit.  

But, hang in there!

This was my thought, but it's totally up to you. I know some people are more strict about it than others.

the weather is not helping but yea... first tri exhaustion seems impossible. i always made it through work but there were some days i was convinced I'd inevitably fall asleep at my desk!

You can do it!  The first trimester is so hard and I remember feeling like that at work everyday and crying before leaving for work at home!  I just felt miserable.  I couldn't drink coffee and soda because it gave me the shakes, but I enjoyed having a hot mug of decaf peach or blueberry tea.  In a few more weeks you'll get a little more energy!

This!  I would have a cup of black tea in the morning during first tri.  It was the only way I could make it through the day.  Tea has less caffeine than soda and coffee, if you are worried about taking any in.

Thank you ladies! I made it through half the day...which, I probably would not have  had I not posted. I was ready to go home right then. So yay for half a day! I feel guilty for stealing time away from after I have the baby but feel like I have to take care of myself now too.
