I am officially 17 weeks and exhausted. I don't know if I have some weird flu, lacking iron or what however, I am so freakin' tired. I slept 9 hours on Saturday night, woke up and then took a 4 hour nap at mid-day. Is something wrong with me? This very moment I could crawl under my desk and easily snooze for an hour.
One of my co-workers returned to work today after a 6-week maternity leave. The first thing she said to me was "Wow! You're hippy." I don't know what the fuck hippy means however, I don't think it's positive. I wish she would have just said, "How much weight have you gained?" Oh wait.... that was her next question. Talk about a blow to feelings.
It's not enough that none of my pants fit and I am exclusively in maternity gear. It's also not enough that I have had to upgrade (or downgrade, whichever way you choose to look at it) to a completely new line of underpants and bras. Nothing fits. Actually, my shoes fit....... accordinging to my therapist, this will change as well. Let this be a lesson to you-- do not say the following to any pregnant woman:
"Your face is filling out"
"How much weight have you gained?"
"Do any of your clothes still fit?"
"Your ass looks bigger"
I wish I could just crawl in a hole today; filled with puppies and soft items.
The Jennie Show is a daily dose of how I view the world; no sweatpant too tight, no puppy too cute and no subject off limits. 39 years of life experience has brought me my awesome husband, an unruly but very soft-earred dog, and two delicious children. I love being a mom, cooking, ready historical biographies, running, skiing, Christmas, sauvignon blanc, lawn chairs and cheesy yacht-rock-style music (most often heard in a dentist office).

Nothing is wrong with you. Enjoy the sleep while it's still comfortable to be getting it.
Also, my feet did swell some at the end, but they never actually grew as I heard they might. Plus, flip flop season is coming!!!
