Hmmmm...so...about today.....
I was thrilled to have my sister Rebecca and her little Bailey over to join me for an afternoon by the poolside. Rebecca wanted to work on her tan, so naturally I obliged like any good sister would. Delightful! We had a great time and surprisingly Bailey was pretty content in the pool, even though the water is not heated. Rebecca looked awesome in her swimsuit while I rocked it Shamu style. Yes, I think I'm obsessing now over how big I am getting. I can't stop mentioning it. Part of me knows this is what happens when one is pregnant. After all, there is a human being growing inside of me. A bigger part of me is scared to death wondering if I'll ever return to my former self. This current state is so foreign to me, but I'm really terrified it's going to be permanent. Make sense?
Today was not nearly as productive as yesterday. Probably like one one-millionth as productive. I was exhausted all day long and kept rotating between the couch, a chair, and my bed. I kept waiting to catch a surge of energy but it never, ever came. I don't remember being this exhausted pregnant with the other two. Perhaps I was just too preoccupied puking to notice or something? Who knows. I have a hard time complaining about being tired because I am SO grateful to not be sick anymore, but I'm on the couch being the same sort of worthless lump as I'd be if I were sick. I just feel far less justified. Puking sounds more couch-worthy than being tired and not having any energy.
On the bright side, the dining room is officially free and clear since I sold this today:
Hooray! Now it's time to move in the playroom furniture. Oh, and take care of the hanging light fixture because non-Woodburys keep bumping their head on it since the table isn't there anymore to keep people away from it. Fortunately we aren't too tall so it's not an issue for us.
So, that's about it for today folks. We'll try that sleep thing again I suppose.
Oh, and happy Pioneer Day!

I love you Michelle! I love reading your blogs, and you don't need to feel justified (or non-justified) to be tired. You do a lot so many other days. I am always amazed at you! Happy Pioneer Day back at ya! :O)
"bigger part of me is scared to death wondering if I'll ever return to my former self. This current state is so foreign to me, but I'm really terrified it's going to be permanent. Make sense?" I feel the same way and I wonder if I will have any time to work on my figure after the baby comes! I am praying I will, I want my body back :)
