Catch Many zzzzzzz's

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.

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!!!

Why are you worth knowing? We all circle the drain of qualifying our worth/what we are giving back to the universe...…. don't we?  I s...
